Another Hump Day!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
We have split up the publishing duties, but we welcome everyone in IAN to do daily diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
Ok, we have a current diary schedule. If you would like to fill in, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMom a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FSNMom is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

I have a new addiction, thank you Netflix for having all four seasons of Showtime's The Tudors...I'm positively hooked.
But, that is now what my diary is about today. My diary is about $217.50...yes, two hundred and seventeen dollars and fifty cents.
Why is this dollar amount significant? Because for the last five paychecks this is the EXACT amount that I've gotten. Good, right?
Well, yes, but it is also very, very weird, because the hours worked are different (some larger than others) and the percentage taken out for the garnishment I'm under is different each time.

Seriously people. How does this happen? Kinda makes me nutty, that 217.50 is ALL I'm going to make no matter how many hours I am going to work.
