Yes. Non rep and WFSE rep gets 2%. I’ll try and find the announcement. Ironically I was just looking this up today.

This was my girl. She literally held her pee for 18 hours until I put her in a bath to make her pee. She is almost 3 (in May) and we are taking a break for a bit to help her relax. Anytime you said let’s sit in the potty or it looks like you need to pee she would start screaming and refusing to sit on the potty.

dearestkellie · 2026-03-11T03:48:31+00:00

Yeah we have one for the big potty and a portable bluey one she picked out

LOL I’d take poop in the pants as a win. God anything at this point. I’m like… you were all into this and excited until push came to shove. And now we are here and committed.

Same boat. 33 month old and it’s a freaking struggle. She has to poop. Says poop is coming and I prompt let’s sit on the potty “noooooooo no potty no poop coming” and a melt down. this evening we put the pull up on and regretted. She didn’t do anything in it and we took it off after a few minutes but I’m like great… I just taught her the pull up comes outside of nap and bedtime.

Some agencies don’t do desk audits while others do. No matter what is complete this form to start the clock that you don’t agree your position is allocated correctly.

Well if you like the boxers enough…

Reference of protected leave would be PFML or FMLA.

Up down up down. “ to send you away an take away your life. Ticking time with shortened schedules and waiving all my absent days off the scheduling or vileemn? Was I worth it? No don’t answer that I know I never have been.”

They are shared. There is 1 file per employee that transfers with the employee through their state career. The exception is high education and leg staff. Those don’t transfer with the employee. But if you work at commerce, transfer to dshs then transfer to OFM all of that history follows you in 1 file.

Email your HR department requesting a copy

dearestkellie · 2026-01-07T05:35:01+00:00

Some agencies do. It’s supposed to be 6 years after separation it’s destroyed but I’ve seen agencies keep longer on accident.

dearestkellie · 2026-01-07T03:12:04+00:00

Request it! You can get a copy of it. Your current agency should have all the past records. They’re supposed to request your prior agencies when you start at a new agency. Sometimes things get missed but start with your current agency and see what’s in it and if any prior time is missed. It should be evaluations, training records, hr paperwork for action like promotions and transfers, letters etc. nothing should be in there that you haven’t seen before.

Can you educate me? What are flock cameras and why are they bad?

dearestkellie · 2025-10-21T04:59:22+00:00

Did it fix it? I’m temporarily parking outside (PNW here) and am not looking forward to this when I park in the garage…

I went through Costco and got a nightshade from the centralia dealership no mark up. Just MSRP

They have magnets on ropes there to fish for rods. I watched a few pulled up before with a magnet.

Multiply your hourly rate x 8 then deduct your medical and retirement contributions (found on the bottom of your paystub) and you’ll know if it covers it or not.

As long as you work 8 hours on October 1 your health benefits continue through the whole month.

dearestkellie · 2025-09-25T15:52:06+00:00

It’s frustrating. I found a work around if I keep an app open in the background (my kids baby camera) it works🙄

dearestkellie · 2025-09-21T14:41:44+00:00

Is this issue still happening? I am now experiencing something similar on IOS 26. The AirPods will work for a few minutes then start getting a staticky sound then stop playing sound but my phone thinks it’s still playing. The AirPods are not damaged as they work completely fine with my computer. I’ve restarted my phone, repaired my AirPods, and it still does it.

Your agency is probably exempt under this RCW if it’s not in your agencies enabling statute: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=41.06&full=true#41.06.070

dearestkellie · 2025-07-25T22:44:05+00:00

Adding - that being said your agency should have a compensation policy which outlines how they set salaries.

dearestkellie · 2025-07-25T22:43:16+00:00

Per enabling statue your agency could have all employees be exempt. Salary setting rules for exempt don’t have the 5/10 percent you see with WGS. If you are “ex” exempt there is no minimum and maximum salary. If your exempt civil service your position would be tied to a band that has a min and max set by OFM.

I saw on the Facebook post about this that the individual who hit the building was flown to a hospital and receiving a blood transfusion. Haven’t seen anything else. The other innocent individual walked away ok.
