They are just tired and fussy. I made the mistake of taking them to the grocery store before supper.

Essentially, this equates to about a 33% reduction in income for many of our loan officers. And we are pretty conservative and giving of our pricing.
However, true to government form, the document that spells this all out is anything but easy to understand. So I get to be the "broken record" with the loan officers and explain to them over and over again how they are (or "are not") going to be paid from now on. Then I get to hear them gripe about it as though it's all my fault.
No limitation on banks. Or top end bank employees or their "parachute" packages. Nope. Apparently, the reason for the recession was because people didn't care to shop around and went with the first sleazebag broker that they could find -- and apparently everyone was a sleazebag broker. That is the apparent reason for the entire recession -- so to fix this the government has decided to limit the loan officers' salaries -- and no one else's.
Well, I guess that it's all good as long as this gets us out of the recession.

That sucks, but hopefully a day of rest will give your immune system time to get its act together and get rid of that stupid bug!Not yet anyway.What are the symptoms of plague? Maybe that's what I have...Death?Well, let's see...coughing up blood? lymph nodes swollen to the size of grapefruits in the neck, armpit, and groin area and those 'buboes' turning a hideous black color?
.......Wow. So yeah. I remember the symptoms and presentation of bubonic plague, but I have trouble remembering the names of all the veins and arteries. *facepalm*
Hmm. No, I guess it's not that.
I'm feeling a little better today, but not great. Called into work, because there would be no way I could get anything done.
I'm able to eat again, which is a plus. Definitely doing better than I was.
Come on in to Ye Old Greenman and Pie, for PIE and a pint.

There's a couple in the apartment right by the main entrance to my building that has a very... active... sex life. It's always entertaining when we have guests coming over - you can hear everything in the hallway. Which leads me to believe that they are doing it in their living room, because if it was in the bedroom, it would be quieter.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!My feelings exactly.
(It's been a hellish week already, and it's only Monday. Of course, it feels like a hellish week because I've worked fifteen days straight now, AND I'm not getting paid for a good portion of the extra time I'm putting in. Gah.)
Kill them. Kill them all... and when you're done with that, kill their mothers too.
That'll learn 'em.
And give librarians the same reputation that postal workers have? Nah...
Although 'going librarian' does have a bit of a ring to it...

I beg to differ. I have known a couple of ladies who do in fact like to get loud. One told me it is not so much that she has to but rather that she wants to as it makes it more pleasurable.

WOOT!
One lover i had wept openly during sex. It was not a bad or negative experience, just very emotional and intense.
I thought they all did that?

Afterwards, not during. ;P

Thats illegal. I prefer a woman, but will consider a mature man with the same experience.I need to hire someone part time, and all I am getting for applicants are kids and ..... older ladies who have no idea how to sell what we sell. Argh! I need an open minded, at least not un attractive, 30 year old with some customer experience, who is comfortable with new registar systems, and is only looking for 10-20 hours a week, nights and weekends. Reliable transportation a must!does it have to be a female?
If I were local and you had health insurance, I'd be your guy. :P
I don't need some guy laughing at our male customers in to buy things like pumps and rings.Could you imagine Uri working there?
Hehehehehehe
Dude, I'd convince you to buy yourself a double dong and use it on yourself. Cha-ching! ;-)
True enough - I have a 6'6 Armenian friend who applied at Victoria's Secret maybe...6 times? The last few times he went in and caused a scene about the "neo-feminist agenda" and how he just wanted to "feel pretty" (admittedly, the goal was never to GET the job, but he certainly wasn't ever even in the running.)Thats illegal.

Reliable transportation a must!does it have to be a female?Well, maybe, while a man can explain lingerie as well as a woman, men are not hired in a clothing store for that department because ladies do not feel comfortable getting a bra fitting from a man. Who would blame them. Same goes for certain other, "accessories" that a lady may feel more comfortable speaking with another lady about. As such I did not know if it was just a general practice in hiring ladies.
As with most video stores here of a more adult nature tend to hire men, especially for night shift, not that I am a big patron or anything, just for the safety factor.
There's always the Tilted Kilt or Hooters as a wait staff. Heh.

F@@+ that. Let me know if anything important was discussed.

Yes. I save my math homework for last cause it helps me de-stress. :)
et tu, Jess Door?
Heh. I'm a computer engineer. Not liking numbers would make that...problematic.
I read physics books for fun.
Nothing...human....does that.
freak.(you and my father)
Put me firmly in the "Don't like MATHZ" camp. I'm great with basic math, I might even enjoy it, but all the higher level stuff just leaves me feeling silly. Now plop some classic lit or philosophy down in front of me and my eyes light up like a kid with a new toy, but math and I never got along well.
Going head first into Algebra II after not having to deal with this kind of math for over twenty years and I'm dreading the first test coming Wednesday, I wish it was simple to solve x like this.

Sorry to hear you don't demo the toys, Solnes. Depending on how your store felt about it, i would be glad to start a class, although I live a ways away and have yet to actually run a *real* class on the subject.
Hands-on experience from your evening job, I gather.
Naw it will be late and I want to try to get a look at the Borgias episode 1 was last night on HBO.
That and Camelot would be something I'd want to see. But alas I lack those channels. *sniff*

Play internet pr0n loudly. At 11. Include goat noises.
I cannot remember the author's name at this point, but he wrote two essays that take an in-depth look at two classic modules. The first was WG4, The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun, and the second was C1, The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan. He goes beyond the text to provide new insight into the adventures, postulates what the authors may have been thinking during development, and introduces a host of new ideas to help round out these classics.
I saw those being dropped in the other day. Thanks for the reminder; I need to check those out.

Is this restricted to mortgages or all loans in general? I wasn't aware there was a percentage / cut-off put into place. When did this occur?
I did send out a memo at one time indicating that loan officer's future commissions should be based on the strength / performance of the repayment of the loan over a certain period. I've seen a number of loan officers throw a customer into a loan that did not serve their means only because they knew that the commission earned for that loan type would make more for them, but damn the customer for comprehending it and finding out the pitfalls later.
Fell on deaf ears.
I can't begin to recite how often I've had to "re-educate" customers how they should repay their loan and/or explain to them that the loan officer did not place them in the best loan suited for them and that there are much better options out there. I then expand on the fact that I don't have any financial gain over my advice, but I can show them the amortization over the lifetime of the loan the difference in savings.
Especially in situations where the customer is talked into getting a simple loan for their home as a mortgage to avoid PMI and not having to pay the equity disbursement to pay for real estate each month (whereas they keep it for themselves to pay the county directly), but they end up paying more interest despite the interest "appearing" less because the interest is calculated at a per diem versus monthly under standard conventional mortgages. Not so bad if it's a $40k loan, but when you're dealing with something like $240k, the "car loan" for your mortgage isn't the way to go. Bank's making hand over fist.

Oh, I don't doubt that there were/are shady loan officers. But that's not where it starts.
We had real estate agents that demanded that every one of their buyers be placed into Option ARM loans. If the loan officer/lender refused, then he would take his business elsewhere. We didn't do business with them. But we lost a LOT of business because we wouldn't operate that way.
It also starts more with borrowers who feel that they are entitled to things they don't deserve. (And then go against my advice and then blame the system when it backfires on them... Grrrr.)
And this legislation is easily worked around. It doesn't talk at all about what the company can charge for a transaction -- just that the loan officer can't be paid based at all on pricing. So in theory, the "company" can just increase all their pricing and the loan officer gets paid the same. Our company just decided not to work that way -- that we actually make more money in quantity than by making more money on a few loans.
I just hate being a middle-man/messenger on this. In this case, I know more than most and have to constantly bite my tongue. It's really getting annoying.
So what does this legislation do? It will basically just increase pricing across the board for all borrowers.
Oh, I've got stories and stories to tell about some of this stuff. I mean, federal agencies (NCUA, FDIC, etc.) were pushing a lot of these loans. Why? They paid better. Now their tune is going the exact opposite way and are now pointing fingers at all the agencies who actually listened to them.
And no one wants to be the last one standing when the music stops.

Camelot was spectacular. Although, the nudity was over the top. I don't mind it, but damn they all but had the cast naked from start to finish. It was a little much, since it was not actually porn.
Oh and A game of Thrones looks sweet. I have a new key chain the HBO rep dropped off. It is a Shield with the Winterfell Wolf on it. Freaking Sweet.
Oh and Camelot, the way Arthur gets the Sword of the Gods was frakign awesome. He he he He almost dies.

ERGH! I need to see all three of those ... plus the older Spartacus series. I'll have to resign to Netflix in the future and rent those discs to watch.
I really miss some of the video stores. I understand their business is no longer viable for the majority of them, but I sure like being able to come in every other day and pick up the disc where I left off and watch the next one in the series.
