Help me - save me from the internet!!! I miss my Kohl's so much that I am shopping online - not quite sure if I am going to go through with it yet - but they have such cute clothes for little girls!!!

I have to buy the idiot that my mom married a box golf calendar - I can order it through them for $6 bucks - but then shipping is $7....but....if I buy only $69 more worth of stuff I save the $7 shipping fee!!! (I know, fuzzy online shopping math)

Do it!! Ohhhh... I am such a bad influence! i am horrid at online shopping.. I spend WAY to much money on it!

 

[dizzyami]

Oh dizzy! Thats okay, after a while they would probably notice, and you would end up with a ginormous bill!

I know, and I have this stupid honestly bone that I cannot lie - at all - . I just can't believe the electric company didn't notice for a year!!!!

At least it is not as bad as the time the bank accidentally credited my account $3000.....(I had to fight with them for hours that NO, I did not go to the counter and make a cash deposit)....


...or the time I went to the bank drop to drop my work deposit, and there was already a bag in there!!! Some crazy fool almost lost a whole deposit

Uh, yeah - THANKS ALOT!!!

You should see how cute the little girl jeans are!!! DH will understand I couldn't pay for shipping, right???

I am the same way... The drive thru teller gave me an extra $100. and I was like So we went inside and gave it back and she was soo thankful! Hey, I used to be a casino cashier... I know how it is to loose a few hundred dollars!

he will absolutely!! My dh never cares what I buy. As long as he doesnt have to sit in the store while I am getting clothes, then he is happy!

That is so true - if I can buy what I want without dragging him into the store he will be a happy camper!!! Besides, we will plan to hit some stores anytime we are in the valley - but it never happens - so this will save me time too!!!

Hi! Anyone around?

Hi! Anyone around?

Hi Moto!!! I am bouncing between here and online shopping . DH can move me out of town, but he can't take away my ability to shop!!!

Hi, I am trying to find a hotel in San Diego for the 21st-23rd. It kinda become a tradition for DBF and I to go to San Diego right before Christmas. We have done it the last 2 years. It's the last chance we get to use our Sea World and San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park passes for the year.

Very nice...sounds like fun

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

I just hope the weather is nice.

That sucks Shawna - was it just him with the new store - or was it everyone??? I know DH's company is trying to save money (with minimum wage increase, and less disposable income in AZ due to the housing market, I know profits are at a low) But they haven't messed with bonus -

Its just about across the board. Remember I was telling you about his labor problems. Well at the new store they said they wanted the labor below 21.75 so dh came in at 21.71. JUST MADE IT. He was so excited because last month they took away his bonus because of this. Many other managers got theirs taken away as well.

Ok so here comes his paycheck and NO BONUS. He calls thinking this must be a mistake and the regional manager says I know I said I wanted you to come in at 21.75 but the company wanted it under 21 to get the bonus. No one ever told him that and only one other freestanding store in the valley got their bonus this month. I'm so ticked off. Everyday I search the internet for jobs. At this point we are willing to relocate.

Man Shawna... that blows. Dh doesnt get a bonus.. We get a turkey at thanks giving, and a $15. gift card at christmas. I hope you get some sleep soon!

Its a monthly bonus for General Managers of the restaurant. They get it based on numbers. Dh has never lost this. Well, he lost half of it a year ago because of certain things breaking in his store like the ice machine that cost $40,000 to repair (had no clue those were that expensive)

So in the 6 1/2 years he has been there we have come to depend on this bonus. With his new store he doesnt get the superbonus which is based off of previous years sales yet but the one he got has been part of his salary. We need this money each month to survive.

Anyone know of any jobs out there???? And just as I said the Disney Store didnt wouldn't work out but it looks like he will have to put in more hours to make up for labor so it makes me getting a job harder. GEESH

That sounds like fun. I've never been to the Wild Animal park but I've heard its nice. We love Sea World. The last time I was at the Zoo was 2 years ago. Our zoo looks like a parking lot dumpster compared to the San Diego Zoo!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

I love Sea World, it is my next favorite place after Disneyland. The Wild Animal Park is so cool! The San Diego Zoo is all right. It's big, but it's just like any other zoo I guess. When we bought our season passes to the Wild Animal Park it included a yearly pass to the Zoo too. Right now at the Wild Animal Park they are doing their Festival of Lights.

Plus Sea World is doing Holiday stuff too:
SeaWorld's Holiday Celebration 2007

Wow, those are big. Sorry!, don't know what happened!

So sorry Shawna - that sucks!!! At least DH's bonus is clear cut - there are parts about it that suck - but it is pretty black and white.

 

[dizzyami]

Our Payson manager just quit...not sure if they replaced her yet .

Has he tried DH's company??? Like I have mentioned, all restaurants are hurting bad right now, and they are doing a lot to cut costs...but they just opened Riverview - have San Tan in the works, as well as other acquisitions. This leads to new manager openings. Not to say that there is no bull$h!t with his company too, but it might stink a little less
