I'm wondering how much of J-P's post was tongue in cheek :lol:

Thanks!

He and I went to school together when young, but didn't talk much until a few years later. We became best friends and started dating in 2006. We've been steady for the past few years. :)

Yesterday, he took me to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and proposed to me in the Deep Sea. hehe

This is my ring :love:

I'm tired, been doing water changes for most of the day. Between the puffers and the chameleons, I barely have time to sit down and relax! :)

I'm about to get myself fired and possibly enter the legal realm. I'm not being paid so I started doing some research. I wrote up a polite but to the point email for my boss. I asked for complete wage statements for all work periods, to be paid up to date immediately (I'm owed money for 1 month of work, about $800), AND I found out that I'm being paid less than minimum wage so I said I need to be paid that and be backpaid for all hours worked. I'm also kindly letting all the other employees know that ;)

Hehehe, he's not going to take it very well (he's slimey through and through). I don't care if I'm fired and if he doesn't pay me then I'll get the money in another way (make a complaint with the ESA or through lawyers). If he had just paid me none of this would have ever happened ;)

Thanks, I'm so frustrated with it all. Worst of all I keep my horse there so I worry about him being caught in the middle.

I need some good calming motivational vibes here though. Gotta keep my patience, head, and be efficient. I know of 2 other past employees that still haven't been paid.
