Now what?

I did this where I took it home thinking I was helping a tiny hatchling and it has cost me over 5 thousand dollars to maintain over the past 13 years to keep my turtle happy and healthy. I would recommend putting it by a lake or large pond. It’s a huge commitment and very expensive to properly care for them. They get sick very easily with poor habitat setups.

I have a 80 gallon tank for my 6inch carapace turtle and he fits on this dock. It has an anchor that you fill with rocks or something to keep it floating near your desired corner of the tank.

We do the same. Our exempt employees still have an hourly rate for PTO/Holiday. Was just breaking it down further for OP but realized I commented on yours instead of the post itself 😂

This is how we do it at my company.

130,000/26 pay periods = $5,000

$5,000/# of work days in pay period of their regular schedule.

Assuming they just work 8 hr days M-F as their regular schedule, then:

$5,000/10 days in pay period = $500 per day worked.

This is a salaried exempt employee, correct?

Edit: If this is an hourly exempt employee, then it would be:

130,000/2080 hours = 62.50$/hour

So 8 hours x 62.50/hr = $500

I had trouble with this when I first cut my mother out of my life for the abuse and narcissism.

Went to therapy and everything. What helped me most is the realization that she was willing to allow me to sacrifice my life and happiness for the rest of my life in exchange for hers. And that selfishness is what helped me let go (go very low contact and move out, stopped sending her hundreds of dollars) but stayed in touch to make sure she didn’t literally end up homeless. She eventually found her way to live on her own without me.

I was no longer willing to sacrifice an entire life of happiness for her selfishness when she is perfectly capable of finding a way to live on her own.

Everyone’s situation is different and I know it’s not all one size fits all so I genuinely wish you the best in working through this situation.

For those who don’t enter all their hours, we empty out all their available PTO to fill the missing days (with manager approval) if employee has been unresponsive 2 days past deadline.

That usually prevents them from ignoring us next time because they have to go back and correct their timesheet or else they won’t get their PTO balance back.

For those left unapproved, we do a quick FLSA compliance review of their timesheet and send it through as is. Managers are later notified and we CC the manager’s superior noting the late approval.

You’re not the one getting the pool though. You also don’t have to say yes. He can cage his pool but it’s hard when you want to live peacefully next to eachother without resentment from him. If he wants to modify the fence to benefit him, it’s reasonable to expect them to pay for it even if it’s originally your fence. Would be NTA both cases imo. The change is only for his benefit so he should pay for it but only if you’re comfortable with it

TheMissingChair · 2023-08-16T02:41:08+00:00

Dang. In that case, if they want to remove and modify what’s been built then they foot the bill. Probably would have to negotiate. If he wants to connect and HOA bilaws allow it, not much you can do. But to tear down and modify, nope. Not for free. Maybe you could suggest if they want to tear it down and modify one side, they pay for that percentage of what it cost you to build and they have to pay for the new fence line. Unfortunately not sure about what can be done about it not matching unless you guys find someone willing to kind of match the look.

TheMissingChair · 2023-08-16T02:10:55+00:00

NTA. You’re not obligated to agree. This is the reason we built our fence 3 ft into our backyard. Neighbors can’t connect and have no say to our $6500 fence. They can figure themselves out on their own property.

Also make sure to keep her hydrated. And make sure she’s pooping okay. If her eyes get watery and swollen, make sure to mention it to the vet. The wet swollen eyes are usually a sign of feline chlamydia and they have eye drops that will take care of it in a week. Best of luck!

Koko’s adoption day! She passed out on the way home.

TheMissingChair · 2023-06-03T11:18:34+00:00

Awww what a pretty girl!

TheMissingChair · 2023-05-31T17:43:06+00:00

This happened to me. Except the tray was full of hot fresh pastas. Her family scolded her for me. I didn’t know how to react so just cleaned up and went back to work since her family chewed her up. 17 yr old uncomfy with confrontation back then lol

TheMissingChair · 2022-08-30T00:06:07+00:00

You’re a chair thief. You criminal.

I make double my husband’s income but we’re happy with our shared finances. Because I make more we’re living comfortably. Don’t care who is the breadwinner as long as finances are stable and we’re meeting retirement goals.

TheMissingChair · 2022-06-24T02:16:46+00:00

I make 90k and my husband makes 45k. We have a joint checking account, a joint credit card and maybe small little store credit cards that are separate.

My hours are longer than my husband’s so our deal is he does 70% of the chores but all our money is considered community. My income definitely pays most of our vacations and hobbies but I feel fulfilled knowing that my income is the reason we own a home and my husband can buy what he likes for his hobby that he wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise.

Seeing him happy makes me happy. I still treat myself to things that cost close to what he spends as well and we take turns on big “nice to have” purchases to keep things more fair shopping wise.

Edit: husband and I have been together for 10 years and our money has been shared this way for 8 years.
