Participant[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=bearishgurl]No 74-year-old “slumlord” wants to bring his large checkbook into the Tax Assessor’s Office on April 10 with several checks stamped with a “check protector” totaling $68,274.42 and a list of parcel numbers, only to be assigned a clerk who will take 30 minutes to process the payments in front of him who is dressed like a hooker. I don’t understand how these gubment employees are getting away with this stuff …. :=0[/quote]
Who gives a shit about that 74yo? It’s you kissing ass to power. No wonder you love Trump.
If the guy can’t do online payment then he’s stupid.[/quote]A lot of owners of multifamily bldgs and other investment property need a separate receipt for each parcel (for tax and bookkeeping records). You can’t get that by paying online. These multi-property owners CAN and OFTEN DO request an appt and a clerk takes their checks and sheaf of tax bills at the counter, processes them in their cubicles and then mails them a receipt for each parcel in a large envelope.

…ok I was wondering this whole time what BG was talking about. I never knew a Tax Assessor office existed, always paid my taxes online. Also what is this “check protector”? Does he guard the checks?[/quote]It’s a personal crimp which imbeds the amount of each check into the bottom of the check itself … to prevent fraud. More than a few senior citizens still use them in their small businesses. Of course, you and your alter-ego/sidekick, yamashi, wouldn’t know about such things because they were not mentioned in your accounting textbooks in college. They’ve gone the way of the do-do bird in favor of holographed checks but are still used with large spiral business checkbooks :=0

October 13, 2016 at 4:41 PM #802242Participant[quote=millennial][quote=bearishgurl]Actually, yamashi, I AM a retired county employee. And btw, we WERE “the best and the brightest!”
[/quote]Please define “best and the brightest!”. Do you mean the best and brightest in San Diego?

I never been (sic) to the county clerks office, but I never put them in that category.[/quote](comment mine)
Actually millenial/yamashi, we didn’t need college degrees to do our jobs and do them well. Few of us had one. Today, a 4-year bachelor degree is the new “high school diploma,” evidenced by most of the millenials’ inability to express themselves on paper clearly and succinctly . . . . even after graduating with a Bachelor’s … or Master’s degree :=0

I am at the tail end of the Boomer generation and sorry but please speak for yourself. I didn’t wear the dresses with pleats (or little ducks or teddy bears). I wore jeans – they were comfortable.

(This should make your life a lot easier – and clear up the confusion about why there are ones for men. ) The materials of which you relieve yourself in the restroom tend to be bacteria laden and inconsistent with a healthy environment for nursing an infant whose immune system is not quite up to speed yet. So you need to go back to the drawing board on that one.
The thing that I think is sad is that you believe everyone is looking at you and evaluating you. The likelihood is that no one probably much cares if they see your toes or not. I like people who I like, who do a good job and are reasonable. Whether they are wearing “hose” or whatever is irrelevant. You sound like Mrs. Kravitz (and I’m not talking about Lisa Bonet).

….[/quote]There are sofas in the outer portion of many restrooms which can be used for nursing. And there is always one’s vehicle or a spare room if they are at a house party OR (gasp) leaving the baby with a sitter for a couple of hours with bottle(s) of pumped milk. And I didn’t mention anything about teddy bears or ducks. We wore solid-colored rayon dresses or suits (maternity wear) to work which was tasteful and draped correctly. Yes, it had to be dry-cleaned. Glad to hear your employer allowed you to wear (maternity) jeans to work. We were not allowed to wear anything of blue denim to work pursuant to our strict dress code.October 13, 2016 at 4:55 PM #802247millennial

So basically your definition of brightest and best includes people with no college degree…this explains so much.
Also means that if workers in this government agency don’t need a college degree, and if based on your logic, a BA is = to a HS diploma. Then these people that supposedly work at the place for only “the brightest and best” pretty much have a middle school education. Probably not a good place to be using to judge a whole generation.
Also writing is a thing of the past, you can snapchat and draw emoticons now. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Every employer I have worked for has a private (locked) nursing room where new mothers can pump in their own privacy. Doesn’t sound like a place where most “best and brightest” would want to work…unless of course the vehicle is a Bentley. I heard those can be rather comfy.
October 13, 2016 at 5:07 PM #802249Participantbtw, nj, I had another kid who was a Greek throughout college and obtained very valuable contacts for internships, their first job and good friends/colleagues for life!
Many college freshman NEED the influence of Greek organizations. Let loose on a large public college campus by themselves, they flounder and get lost in the shuffle and bureaucracy. I think they’re wonderful organizations who do a lot of good and open doors for a lot of young men and women who may not have had those doors opened for them otherwise.
So many kids come out of public HS today very rough around the edges in their demeanor, dress and speech. Especially in CA because of the omnipresent influence of “popular culture.” Rushing Greek organizations, getting chosen and choosing one is an excellent way to move on with one’s life after HS and mature into a college graduate who can walk it, talk it and groom it enough to get hired. You must know that the competition for jobs among recent college grads is fierce.
Going to a 4-year college as a freshman, majoring in an employable field and knowing how to sell oneself to employers (those who are offering living-wage, FT jobs) is the goal by the 2nd half of senior year. As for the thousands of millenials sitting in mom and/or dad’s back bdrm after HS and working at Pep Boys part time while taking 1-2 community college classes at a time, well, that is a slow-motion time bomb that isn’t going to end well, imho.

This was never the case during my working years. I was unaware of any laws compelling employers to do this so am unsure why they are offering nursing rooms. If I’ve overlooked any new state/Federal employment laws regarding offering employees a place to nurse, please post a link here.

No of course they don’t allow you to take your baby to work unless you work at a daycare or they have a daycare facility on site for staff. I did bring my baby to work after he was born to show off though.

Here is the dol website which requires employers to have a place for mothers to pump. This being said, today’s employers have different incentives above and beyond labor requirements; especially if they want to attract the brightest and best millennials. I’m sure some of these work environments have been well documented in movies.

Hmm. What you describe sounds like the 50s. My Dad was president of his fraternity and my mom had a great time in her sorority. I lived in the dorm and then in a house with 4 other girls and 3 guys. We all went on to have careers that you would probably approve of.
Speaking of rough around the edges, I know you’ve read the news about fraternities and sororities, hazing, date rape, etc. Can you just ignore all of that? This one from my alma mater really made me sad: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/03/18/partys-frat-ski-resort-rampage/24943201/
as did this one (although it’s a great read with expletives that I’d never thought of before): http://gawker.com/5994974/the-most-deranged-sorority-girl-email-you-will-ever-read
and this: http://elitedaily.com/social-news/sorority-girls-slammed-racist-snapchat-blackface/1612220/
etc.

svelteParticipantMany of my HS friends joined fraternities when they entered college, and I could never figure out what the draw was…I’d visit their frat houses and it looked like the exact environment that would make me miserable.
My best friend in HS joined a frat at one of the largest, most prestigious universities in California. He died during initiation.
This was decades ago – frats have always been questionable.
