I work at a local university, so despite not being considered a state employee (with regard to our state laws), I am a state employee. I completely get the special rules we have to follow that normal employees don’t. For example, I can’t unionize.
It’s based on how you’re classified. OP sounds like an administrator
/non sales professional/computer professional of some kind, so no they do not qualify for OT by federal standards.
Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA, which was included in the original Act in 1938, exempts from the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements “any employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity[.]” [Source]
When I see these generation-hating comments — specifically older generations hating on something the younger generations do — I can’t help but think about whose fault it is for whatever slight the older generation feels.
Who created digital clocks? Who created iPads and iPhones? Who created video games? Every single generation has their own slang that each previous generation fails to understand (not because it doesn’t make sense, but because the previous generations are too lazy and/or stubborn to learn).
I don’t understand the strategy of infuriating a swing state here.
The conservatives in my area are cheering this on, and with all the gerrymandering the GOP has been doing here, they’re banking on angry dems not being able to do anything but “drown in their liberal tears”.
I can’t help but feel Douglas was poking fun at himself, considering how his editors had to lock him in a room to finish So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.
Go on dates. Get to know her. Talk to each other daily. Be patient and respectful. Admit your mistakes and work to correct them. Learn from them. Include her in your decision making. Find things that you two can do together as a couple (preferably that you both enjoy). Find things that you two can do separately of each other (take time for yourselves). Relax. Breath. Hold hands (when appropriate). Compliment each other daily. And do it all because you want to, not because you have to.
Back in college I took a computing class where the final exam was to take a PC we had built in class and the prof deliberately sabotaged the computer. Our assignment was to figure out what was wrong with it by the end of class time to pass the exam.
He switched the power supply to the wrong voltage. I almost failed. 😅
Nothing will get better.
