I think after 10pm it is no shorts, tee shirts...

Okay, I looked it up quick and this is copied right from the WDW website:

Guests arriving after 10:00 PM each night must wear venue-appropriate attire. Men may wear slacks, jeans or dress shorts. Jackets are optional. No ball caps, sleeveless shirts or flip-flops allowed.

Guests also must be at least 21 years of age to enter The Edison after 10:00 PM.

Ain't that the truth.

There's one particular consultant at work who's been driving me absolutely bonkers lately. He's so extremely rude and makes issues of things that don't need to be made an issue of. For instance, a few months ago, I discovered he wasn't entering time in our timekeeping system, and he should have been. He was arguing about why he didn't have to do it. I nicely said to him that it was an oversight on his supervisor's part and that yes, he should have been entering time since he was there, so moving forward, he needs to because it's a Sarbanes Oxley compliance issue. He also didn't understand why he was the only member of his team that had to enter time, and I explained it's because he's the only member of his team who is acting as IT staff augmentation, so therefore, he's the only one. Two month later, he brings it up again, except with my boss and doesn't bother to loop me in. Then he has to go bother finance again, only for finance to tell him the exact same thing I told him two months before. I'm like, we're bringing this up again now because??? Oh, and the kicker was he kept emailing me to ask me how to enter time. A valid request, but I asked him several times to look at documentation and ask his team to show him because I had been out sick. He kept emailing me while I was out sick asking when I would meet with him (in person, because apparently Skype wasn't good enough for him). I finally told him I had bronchitis and was working part time from home until I was over it, so if he didn't want to use Skype, he would have to wait. He FINALLY got it at that point. I also told him if he wanted to meet in person, he had to come to me; I won't go traipsing around the building (I'd never get any work done otherwise). And he did.

Now he's been really demanding of my one coworker. He did the same thing to me once, where he called me and emailed me, and then got irritated because I didn't return the call within 45 minutes (I was in a meeting, which he could have seen from my Skype status). He's pushing on her more than he would have with me, though, because she's newer than me, so I would have very nicely explained how things work and that he is not my only assignment for the day. He thinks he can push her around. She's not taking any of his nonsense, although she's not being as firm with him as I would be. She had to loop me into an email today for me to explain exactly what she had been trying to tell him again. Which just wastes my time.

Oh, and then today, she was watching a training video, and he came by her desk and said, "Watching Netflix, are you?" :mad: Why would you even say that to someone? Coworker didn't understand what I was talking about when we first had to work with him and I warned her, but the other day she said to me, "Uh, yeah, I get it now."

This guy's a real tool. And my impression of his not wanting to enter his time, is more that he feels it's beneath him. I wonder if your boss and/or other management are aware of how he interacts (I'm being polite with my choice of word there) with other employees. Sometimes a gentle heads up to a supervisor may be helpful, as some background experiences of coworkers with this guy, could be useful information down the road. The more he gets away with, the worse he'll become. Sometimes, that type of behavior catches up with the person, and I hope that's the case here.

Think the last time I went through there was maybe 6 years ago, and I had no complaints. Maybe I just got lucky,

I think Charlotte is generally okay.... but if there's even an inkling of bad weather, AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

But, almost all the flights to Fayetville/ Fort Bragg connected through Charlotte, so I've been in that airport a ton. The connections are never long enough to make it through the horrible airport layout without you pulling a Home Alone and running through the airport. And there are very few things I dislike more than running through an airport.

There's a place called Sweet and sassy where my daughter gets her hair cut and they always put glitter in her hair. I don't mind it in the summer because we're at the pool so much, but i hate it in the winter. Bath water doesn't get it out, lol

There was one where I used to live and took my kids to it. My son got his haircut there too. :hilarious: No pixie dust though. They liked the free pretty lollipops they used to get after the cuts were done.
