Dopps - in some states, not being paid on time is a criminal offense. In Mass. you can complain to the attorney general's office.

You might have similar avenues. Look it up, and point it out first, then report if they don't fix it.

That's probably not the case in Georgia, but thanks for the advice. I still haven't been paid so I sent another email. I'm sure the check was mailed, but I'm angry that they're not telling the truth about it. I basically told them they'd better find a way to get that money in my hands today.

I lost a job when I was in high school because the owner of the business was paying me in cash at the end of the week, and the amounts varied each week even though the hours were the same.  I confronted him on it, he blew up at me and paid me some of what he owed me, and I was out on the street.

Heh. I didn't watch last night, but I'm starting to wonder if I should have. I'm not sure I would have had enough popcorn to make it through, but what I'm hearing today makes me think I wouldn't have wasted all my time.

Europe’s Anti-Science Plague Descends On Africa

The fast-breeding desert locust has invaded Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, creating a state of emergency.The pests recently landed in Djibouti, Eritrea, Oman and Yemen. Swarms have also struck Tanzania and Uganda. They won’t stop on their own. According to the Food Agriculture Organization (FAO), “this is the worst situation in 25 years.

These beasts consume every plant in their path, leaving behind devastated croplands and pastures, and can migrate up to 150km in a day. They’ve already covered a million hectares in Kenya, with no signs of slowing down.The human toll is staggering. Twenty-five million people have been left hungry, by Oxfam’s estimate.

Yet, instead of rallying around African nations in this time of great peril, more EU-funded NGOs have descended on the Kenyan parliament to demand that the government disarm itself in the battle against locusts. They want the Kenyan government to outlaw the pesticides used to fight locusts, the only effective tool that can stop these insects, and prevent the crisis from spiraling out of control.

This hatred for mankind and love for cruel nature is really barbaric.

It is paganism dressed up in suits and ties and academic gowns.
