| schestowitz | <xxx> I told mom just take the severance and get out of there. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> She's over 66 years old. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> Two days ago when I told her everyone is laying off and the economy is falling apart, she said "Oh there's tons of jobs out there and nobody wants to work but thank God I'm a nurse. I haven't ever been laid off since 1981!" | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> Two days ago. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> Today she called me and she was just beside herself that the Catholics shut the place down and said that the other nursing homes in the city are all staffed up and the hospital treats their nurses like shit and doesn't pay them what she's used to making. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> That place is crazy. It's never been ran well. Sometimes the paychecks bounced and the Diocese office wrote personal checks. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> It's a disaster. She didn't want to believe that this could ever happen, but when the paychecks start bouncing and have to be covered with personal checks from the church directly and they start selling or donating all the land and buildings around the place.... | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> They probably donated the 100+ acres to the nature preserve because under private ownership they were probably paying something in property tax on it. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> They were never going to build anything there and nobody would have wanted to buy it because the economy in that area was bad before things fell apart. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> So it;s a nature preserve now and off their books. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> They said the 22 weeks severance will be a lump sum. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> Knowing them they'll change their mind at the last minute, or only pay half that or something. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> They do things like this all the time. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> One year, they emailed everyone that they were going to get a really nice Christmas bonus check and then they said that the email went out by accident and here's a $10 gift card to the supermarket. | Apr 08 03:59 |
| schestowitz | <xxx> I asked her if she was planning to kidnap her boss like Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation over the "Jelly of the Month Club". | Apr 08 03:59 |

| schestowitz | <p>Magic mirrors have become well-known in the Raspberry Pi community as a go-to project for many new makers. As cool as they are, they're also widespread. However, we came across this magic mirror project put together by David from Element 14 and thought it was different and exciting enough to share.
