Don Lemon has been arrested

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 9h

This Trump administration is absolutely out of control. Completely out of control. When will Americans wake up? Former CNN anchor/journalist Don Lemon was arrested last night in California where he was due to cover the Grammys....

The downstairs neighbor is a trip

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 10h

She is on permanent disability because supposedly she has arthritis in her ankles. Doesn't stop her from doing Instacart orders though. She is allowed to work up to a certain $$ amount without it affecting it. She has been through...

Today is a big payday

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 12h

We get paid every other Friday. Today is the 3rd payday of the month so there are no "voluntary" deductions like pension, medical, union dues, disability, 403(b), etc. They do still take out for summer savings. So it is a "big"...

Are you going to see the Melania documentary?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 23h

If your answer is NO then you're in the very large majority. It debuts tomorrow in theaters and almost all of the seats are still empty. There is actually an ad on Craiglist for the Boston area saying that people can attend this...

This place is nuts part 2

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 29 Jan

Well I should say "that place" but I'm just going with the title I used earlier. Work was fine for me today but not so much for administration and safety. The coworker who drove me back gave me the update. There was a fight...

This place is nuts

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 29 Jan

I mean we all knew that already. The faculty rooms haven’t had jugs of water for like 2 weeks. They “forgot” to order it. Um isn’t that something you just do every month. It’s not like the volume changes from...

I have had it with this dishwasher

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 28 Jan

It wasn't draining the other day so I made a point of thoroughly rinsing all of the filters with hot water and ordering Cascade dishwasher cleaning pods. The filters are clean but the cleaning pods have not yet been delivered....

The retired maintenance guy is still here working

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 28 Jan

I was so confused on Monday when my coworker was here digging out my car. I saw one of the maintenance guys and asked him who was doing the plowing. He said Ted. Ted retired at the end of last year. He has been back in service...

Delayed opening for the next 2 days

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 28 Jan

We had a 90 minute delay today due to the extreme cold and ice. Well we just got the call that we will have them again for the next 2 days. That's fine with me. Instead of having to be at work at 7 it will be by 8:30. It is nice...

Got a coverage

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126137) • United States 28 Jan

It’s a hall duty coverage so it’s just $22 but I’ll take it. It all adds up. Driving in today was an absolute nightmare. The security guard had to help me get across the parking lot to the building. I’m tempted to take off...
