Your friend, along with his wife and daughter are fucked. His former boss was probably fired and under investigation for theft etc.... His employer had every right to make him sign the gag order contract, and had the legal right to terminate his employment for violating it. A judge would have your friend serving time in prison for doing so. As for the lease, the free rent was based on his employment with the company, since your friend is no longer employed by the company, he is in violation of the terms of the lease. So yes, he does have to sign a new lease and pay rent. His former employer will more than likely terminate the employment of his wife and daughter as well if he pushes the free rent issue.

Sounds as if he is trying to keep up with the Jones'

The weekend was not long enough for me
tunnel_vision:
I think they do keep a copy on file.

Be carefull about walking out like that, if you lose yor unemployment hearing, you wont get any compensation. Plus a black mark like that on your record will make it virtually immpossible to find a job in today's market ... it's really an employers market with so many people looking for work.

Ok then. Drink the Dew, get caffeine overload, but time it so the crash happens at bed time!

Well, so much for a social life.

Scary how your sleep is going to be chopped up like that. That can't be good for your health.

I don't see how an an employer, outside of a government agency that requires a security clearance or a law enforcement official associating with a felon, can dictate how you spend your off work time. That is a load of shit. Even an at will employer who claims that "I fired you for hanging out with so-and-so" will look like a retard in court.
As far as the car, it sounds like you might have a sticking relay or intermittant short to ground. Especially if there is any kind of water intrusion or rust near or along the contcts.
jermhawk:
They can do that, however I don't believe the employer has any recourse for not signing the contract. Once it is signed it is a legal contract.

As for pics, they don't show well enough to bother.

I'm with jermhawk on this one. Not familiar with it...but I don't watch that much TV I guess.

Just wanted to say thanks for all of your advice and support since I have been back. It has been a rough time but friends like you make life a little easier. I decided to completely give up alcohol. I don't think I realized just how much it made certain things worse, not to mention the fact that it doesn't go well with most of my meds. It may be a little harder to give up on the pot though...

Best of luck with the job. Both actually. You talking about the store in you last post brought back so many memories...some good, some bad. Some just strange...

so decided today that I would wake up early to get a call for subbing...and nothing. bastards. my phone is not ringing off the hook, so no call this week. major bummer, since I was called twice last week, and not feeling so hot, did not go in (its an automated system, so I replied with a no, and illness for the reason). after getting...

and another project done.

my mom has an assload of books in her room. a serious assload...she probably rivals a small library when it comes to books. well, she got her hands on 2 3-tier bookshelves.

so her idea....put one bookshelf on top of the other bookshelf. the larger one is the bottom bookshelf, although just slightly smaller. that would be okay, right?

me, well,...

aldremech:
That is officially one metric fuckton of books eeek
lethaldose:
Well, in my experience the more books someone has the more interesting a person they are...but then again I guess this depends on what type of books they are...or does it?...Or am I just really drunk and high right now?

Now that I think about it, my bookshelves are sunken in the middle from weight. Do not ask me to count!

so my "vacation" is almost over. and it was fairly productive, got done what I wanted to get done.

Or how expensive they are until remodeling one and adding a second.

Hows the teaching prospects going?

California's the same way. I got my federal tax return way before getting my California one. They take their sweet ass time paying you YOUR money.
