I filled out the complaint forms with the Dept. of Consumer Affairs AND the agency MD even gave them the runaround. It wasn't until I filed w turbocourt.com, and got a court date that they Express mailed me a check. The MD was a total dick about it the whole time (throughout my weekly check-in emails about payment). A total goomba. It was like a bad movie (the excuses). Rewind to actually working on the project and the account guy and the "creative director" were both shady, condescending and just really bad at their jobs. It's probably not even a real agency. Live and learn.

Anyone else here realized they have some alcohol moderation issues? I graduated college within the past 1.5 yrs and my friends are still in the heavy weekend drinking phase. I have realized I need to cut my drinking way down. I don’t drink every day and won’t crave a drink when I’m sober but it’s like once I start I don’t typically stop. I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week.

Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!
