Watsco Sets New Records For Sales, Operating Profit And EPS During Second Quarter
Watsco, Inc. (NYSE: WSO) (Paris: WSO) today reported results for the second quarter and for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Second Quarter Results
Revenues increased 15% to a record $1.0 billion, including $114 million of sales added by new locations. Same-store sales increased 2%, reflecting a 5% increase in air conditioning and heating (HVAC) equipment (63% of sales), a 4% decrease in other HVAC products (33% of sales) and a 16% increase in commercial refrigeration products (4% of sales).
Gross profit increased 12% to a record $238 million. Gross profit margin (on an overall and same-store basis) declined 50 basis-points to 23.6%, reflecting primarily a higher sales mix of HVAC equipment and growth in sales of commercial products, both of which generate lower gross margins than non-equipment products.Operating income increased 14% to a record $86 million with operating margins of 8.5%. Same-store operating income increased 4% to $79 million with a 20 basis-point increase in operating margin to 8.8%. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 11% to $153 million. SG&A excluding new locations decreased 4% for the quarter and was 14.8% as a percentage of sales. Earnings per share increased 6% to a record $1.15 per diluted share on record net income of $39 million, compared to $1.09 per diluted share on net income of $36 million in 2011. Albert Nahmad, Watsco's President & CEO, stated, "Watsco had a good quarter posting all-time records for sales and profits. Our commercial sales were up double digits, far outpacing the industry. The trend for sales of low efficiency residential equipment continued with market demand strongest in the Midwest and Northeast. Most importantly, we were able to build on market share gains from the first quarter." Mr. Nahmad added, "Our goal is to continue to improve our competitive posture and gain share with our expanded footprint and product offering. We are pleased with our expanded market coverage in Latin America and, recently, Canada. Our strong financial position enables us to continue to seek additional investments to further enhance our industry position."

I have the pro (registered) version of Malwarebytes installed, and it seems to be doing some odd things. First, I have been having some problems downloading videos with GetFLV of late, and while working with it last night, MBAM popped a window saying that it had blocked GetFLV from connecting with a particular IP address belonging to Hulu.
I exited MBAM from the system tray, and have left it off for the time being, yet moments ago, for no apparent reason, Windows signaled a disconnected device, and began searching for and loading drivers for my printer.
This has never happened before, so when I noticed the high CPU usage, I moused over Process Explorer, and the dominant process activity came from MBAM, which is curious, because it wasn't listed among the processes on the Task Manager.
I'm trying to figure out what is going on, but don't have a clue at the moment...does anyone else?
EDIT: I just checked in services to find that there is a malwarebytes service, which is started, but all of the buttons are grayed out, and regardless of whether I set it to auto, manual or disabled, it continues to run. It seems to have a mind of it's own.
|My System Specs
|14 May 2011
Windows 7 32 bit
Maybe it's just a quirk of mine but I never use an "on all the time, real time" shield, av program, etc.. I just find they interfere with the normal operation of the PC. I use malwarebytes for manual scans all the time. For protecting an app while it's running I use Sandboxie. But even then only on occasion. I rely more on multiple image backups.
There are free image backup programs out there. A couple of external USB drives or bare drives in USB docking stations are a good investment. At some point you have to let the machine work unless you're doing nothing but word processing and emails.

Hi seekermeister,
Have you posted to the Malwarebytes forum? I think some of the program developers post over there, and they might know what's going on :-)
Malwarebytes Forum
|My System Specs
|14 May 2011
No, I haven't posted anywhere except here, but at this point, it is no longer necessary, because I just uninstalled it. I shall reinstall it, but only as a freeware program, so that it no longer will create a service. It is a shame that after paying for a license, that I can't use it, I should have saved my money.
Uninstalling it didn't solve the problem with GetFLV, but it may have solved a problem I was having with the OS hanging at the logout screen, I will have to wait until I have restarted a few more times to know. In any case, I don't want any program that I can't control myself, and there is no excuse for it to have a service that can't be stopped or disabled.

Minit Now Right Here
- Words: Alexis Georgopoulos
- Label: Staubgold
As Minit, Australian expats in Berlin Jasmine Guffond and Torben Tilly have been making spectral drone music for some time. After a few years out of earshot, they have emerged with a gorgeous work in Now Right Here. The 20-minute title track opener is the album's centerpiece. Building slowly, it gains a steady momentum, transforming French-horn tones into an immense, infinite drone that can only be described as ecstatic. The remaining album continues its interest in sustained tones and effervescent textures. And despite what may on the surface seem like very little in the way of action, it in fact reveals itself to be an immensely rewarding work.

Budweiser's follow-up to last year's "Brotherhood" ad, which was voted No. 1 by USA TODAY's Ad Meter, features a persistent puppy who keeps escaping his animal shelter to visit his Clydesdale friends.
Looks like the Denver Broncos will win Super Bowl XLIII according to Madden NFL 25. The game has correctly predicted the last 8 out of 10 Super Bowls with freaky accuracy when it come down to the final scores and even players stats.
The big game is coming up next weekend and parties will be thrown throughout south Louisiana. (Even though our Saints aren't in it. :( )
Although most of us here know how to throw pretty sweet parties, I'll bet most of us don't know how to throw the mother of all parties, a St. Jude Game
Even though the lights went out in the Super Dome, the Baltimore Ravens took out a full page ad thanking the people of New Orleans, and the police of New Orleans for such a warm reception while they were in town for the Super Bowl
Thanks to everyone who entered the Big Game Pick-Em contest. We had a bunch of entries, but just like the Super Bowl, there can be only one winner. See what this lucky lady won with her pick!
Entergy fesses up
Super Bowl commercials are almost just as important as the actual game. While watching the big game, it is hard to decide when you should get up to grab another beer or use the restroom, because you do not want to miss the commercials. Yes, I know I am a day late, but I want to share with you the five, best Super Bowl commercials of 2013 in case you did not get to see any.

Gotham City Sirens was a monthly comic-book series published by DC Comics co-starring Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, three characters who had previously recurred throughout the DC universe, primarily as foes / allies / love-interests of Batman. Their portrayals have varied widely over the years, ranging from terrorists to just shy of The Hero, and their current portrayal is right on the Anti-Villain / Anti-Hero line. None of them have completely foresworn their extra-legal activities, but neither have they become a trio of Villain Protagonists, either. The series lasted 26 issues (August, 2009-September, 2011).Though not quite a Slice of Life (The series remains an Action/Adventure story about costumed stars battling other costumed individuals) the premise is that the characters have not united for any form Evil Scheme or plot, but rather have decided to be a team simply for the sake of being with people they are on friendly terms with. Previous events in other comics that are alluded to in the very beginning mean that the characters have no shortage of money, so they have no immediate impetus to commit crimes, and the first arc of the series revolves around when they themselves are attacked by other criminals, instigated when Harley is out shopping.Though easily understandable to the newcomer, the first issues of the series refer heavily to recent events in the history of the Bat-Family of comics, notably the Hush storylines and the Death Of Batman and Battle For The Cowl arcs. These events set up the premise for Gotham City Sirens, explaining the supposedly-legal funds the characters have, their motivations when interacting with each other, and the rationale for their cooperation.The series is light-hearted while remembering that it is also supposed to be dramatic, and does not forget who its three characters are and what they can do. They might be new roommates dealing with personality conflicts, but they are also experienced and competent supervillains, and since none of them have secret identities it frequently edges into Awesome Yet Practical territory as they bring that part of their lives into their "normal" lives, such as when they hire a member of villainous team specializing in heavy equipment to help repair their apartment. They will then go off to dramatically rescue their kidnapped teammate who is being held hostage by a psychotic villain with a clown motif... no, not that clown-themed villain, but it will take a few issues for you to realize it. So far it has managed to be both intense and funny, and even though it might not have completely revolutionized the entire world of comics in its first ten issues, it has introduced well-written (And beautifully drawn) stories about intriguing characters in amusing situations.And yes, since you are all thinking it, there is enough Fanservice, Most Common Superpower, and Distracted by the Sexy to go around. It is a series starring three of the hottest women in the DCU, so what did you expect?Written by Paul Dini, writer for many series in the DC Animated Universe and creator of Harley Quinn.The series, like every other in The DCU, was cancelled with the end of Flashpoint, with the three regulars going their separate ways. Catwoman will debut in a new solo book, Poison Ivy will join the Birds of Prey, and Harley Quinn will become a member of the new Suicide Squad.For what pretty much amounts to their heroic counterpart, see Birds of Prey.

Weight Creeping Up -- Help!
Hi friends, After maintaining a 30+ weight loss for 3-1/2 years (since March 2009), my weight is starting to creep up, and I honestly have not changed my eating or exercise habits at all. Even though right now it's just 5 pounds, who's to say that it won't hit 10 or more before too long. I really liked the way I felt and looked since I lost this weight, and even though 5 pounds doesn't sound like a lot (and I know it isn't), it does show on a 5 foot tall, small-boned person. I've tried to go back on to the acute phase, but honestly I just can't do it without the appetite suppressants I used for the initial weight loss. I tried the Stay Slim, but it didn't help. I was tired, irritable, and hungry. So then I just cut back on all carbs except the allowed vegetables on the regular weight loss of the plan, and I didn't lose any weight at all. I went back to my Medi center, and the dietician told me I shouldn't be so hard on myself, which really wasn't what I wanted to hear. After so many years of being a happy and healthy THIN person, I want to deal with this now before it gets worse. By the way, even though this may be too much information, I'm almost 56, already had gone through menopause when I lost the initial weight, so I don't think this is a hormonal issue. Any suggestions or help you can provide would be MOST appreciated. -- Michele
Hi! Sorry you're having trouble. I'm no expert, but maybe I can help you brainstorm what the problem is. My first question would be have you seen a doctor? It would be good to rule out any medical issues that could be causing weight gain. My second question would be how many calories are you eating a day? Are you measuring and weighing everything and keeping track? My third question would be what kind of exercise do you get?
Hi, I had a physical exam in the spring, and all was normal. I hadn't been counting my calories because I've been following the same food plan as always, and I had never had a problem maintaining my weight loss over the past 3+ years. That's what is so puzzling. Even if there had been a special occasion occasionally, and I had indulged a little more than usual (not completely overboard, just maybe 500-800 calories), I would go right back to my regular eating habits the next day and it worked fine. Until recently. My current exercise plan (same as usual) is walking, and lifting weights twice a week.
Sorry -- forgot to mention that I have been weighing and measuring my foods since I started the plan in 2008, and continue to do so. -- Michele
hello there.... I have just had a similar problem. I have been maintaining for years mostly eating the same foods but in November I quit smoking and since then a few pounds crept up and no mater what I did I couldnt even loose one!
I think the nicotene helped my metabolisim and I am getting older too (37).
I was also extremly happy being skinny knowing some days I could eat 85% lindt choc most days of the week.
But once this creep started I felt horrible because I kept thing what happens if it keeps going up and up. I was ok with putting on a little bit but the thought that I wont get it back of was not good.
But amazingly something has worked............
Its pretty simple as its all over this site!!!
All I did was replace my 6 egg whites for breckie I'd been having for 5 years with FAT!
Yep it works, all I've been having is 2TB of Coconut Oil & cocoa powder & stevia and in a couple of days it just fell off!!!
I had been having too much protein and not enough fats.
I happy just to have lost those couple of pounds now I feel comfortable as I'm only 4"11
So my suggestion just try eating mostly fats for a few days and I hope this works for you. GOOD LUCK :)
My suggestion would be to start tracking your food in a food diary. That's the only way you'll know for sure how much you're consuming. Then I would go to one of the sites that has a tool to figure out how many calories you should be consuming to maintain your current weight, and make sure you don't go over that. It may be that your calorie consumption has slowly crept up over the years. I hope this helps!
5 pounds can be gained and lost throughout the day... if they did weigh you at the clinic did the Tanita scale tell you if it was water weight or fat? Are you always weighing same time same place etc... If you have added some foods in remove them for a couple weeks and see if that is what is causing the issue.. its always process of elimination...
I just want to mention that I dont think its bad to start seeing what is going on with 5 lbs and it does creep up! Its awsome you have come so far so just stay positive and work on it. :console:
Thanks for the positive words! I have been weighing at the same time, same place for years now, and I was never fazed by the "normal" 2-pound fluctuation that would occur over the course of a week or two. But these extra 5 pounds aren't budging! I'm going to stay strictly with 800 calories of low-fat protein and low-carb veggies for a week to see if I can make some progress. I've worked too hard to start backtracking. I've thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of waking up each day knowing that my clothes will fit, that they will look good, and not thinking about my weight. That's my incentive!
Metabolism slowed down?
Unfortunately our metabolism does change...so I think that's what it is if you are eating the same way. The best way to combat that would be to exercise more and/or find ways to boost up your metabolism. Remember on the Tanita strips there was the Basal metabolic rate (BMR) number? That is the amount of energy expended daily while at rest. There is a calorie number that coincides with what your BMR is. That is what you should be able to eat during the day without gaining. To lose, just consume less than that (total, in conjunction to consumption/calorie burn). That is what it is supposed to be scientifically. In real life, I like to pretend that it works. :)
I know there are a number of things that people suggest to increase metabolism...sleeping enough, but not too much; getting up earlier and eating small meals throughout the day (once every few hours); exercising; increasing B vitamins and magnesium (B6, B12, folate, thiamin, niacin); etc. You can try changing up the exercise routine--I love interval training and circuit training (try Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred or something similar)...just try whatever is more challenging for you to get your heart rate up and build muscle...remember as we start working out more or doing the same workout for a long time, our body gets used to certain programs and is not as challenged as before...so we need to find ways to constantly challenge ourselves physically. Drink lots of water; dehydration can slow down the metabolism.
This is a really good article that explains how our metabolism changes as we age, and ways to combat it: How to Increase Your Metabolism and Start Losing Fat
Hope this helps a little!

Unusually tolerant of direct seashore conditions and highly alkaline desert soils, saltbushes are grown for their gray or silvery foliage. Flowers and seeds attract birds. Need good drainage.

Didn't know I was only going to receive 2 weeks salary this month... need advice please!
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 5:27am
Hi all,
So I have another question regarding my current job, related to receiving salary. It seems the company's payroll works between the 21st and the 21st of next month, and since I've started working on the 11th, I'll only receive 2 weeks salary this month. Well, I've only been told this last Friday and was a bit shocked. Before I started working I came to the office one day to sign the contract and they didn't tell me this (I'm guessing they forgot to) and it's also not on the contract. The thing is, I'll only be receiving 2 weeks of work this month and that kinda puts me on the red line...
Before I started working here, one of my clients as a freelancer was a marketing agency and I stopped working for them when I started here. If I knew this about the salary beforehand, I would continue working for them on my free time at home until the end of the month, so I'll have more money this month.
Well, but the thing this, I've brought a client I had whilst freelancing into this new company I'm working now and I've asked the owner of the company if I could invoice this client myself this month and then next month it would be his company invoicing him. Well, it seems he was astonished by my question, he even replied to my email with the HR company as Cc, saying that he doesn't think that's fair since the work I've done was from his premises and that cannot be done. I guess so, but the client was mine before, and it's also not fair that they didn't mention to me before about the salary dates! This is something important that I needed to know when I started! Well, my boyfriend also works for one of his companies and he's even blaming him for not telling me that about the salary, when this was his responsibility, not my boyfriend's!
I'm a bit sad about all this to be honest, not because he said no when I asked to work from home one day per week, and now said no again to my request, but because of the way he now responded to my email, all shocked with my request! Well, if it wasn't me, there wouldn't be any client in the first place...
I'm starting to miss so much my freelance work, not having to go trough other's rules and being my own boss. Oh how I miss that now! Please give me some advice. Thank you in advance!
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 9:34am
I have read a few of your posts and honestly, by what I've read, it sounds to me like you need to find something else. You aren't happy and aren't likely to be happy where you are so why stay?
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 9:52am
Your behavior, and your complaints, display immaturity and a lack of common sense. It is YOUR responsibility, and no one elses, to make sure you know all aspects of a job, or ANY business agreement, before you accept it. The moment you became an employee, "your" clients became your employer's clients. The fact that they followed you to your new employer is immaterial. Your request to bill a customer directly, for work done by you the employee, while on your employer's time and dime, goes beyond foolish, to plain stupid.
(1) You are NOT entitled to payment for the job, you are only entitled to your wage.
(2) Your wage is payable by your employer, with all necessary taxes and deductions removed. It is NOT payable by your employer's customer.
(3) Even if for some magical reason none of the previous applied, sending out your own bill would NOT guarantee money in your hand tomorrow. 30 days would be the earliest expectation. Receiving a REGULAR PAYCHECK, instead of waiting on customers, is precisely the reason people work for others instead of themselves.
Now, let's discuss the fact that both you and your boyfriend work for the same guy, even if it is in different businesses. Your behavior has placed BOTH your jobs in jeopardy. You are living hand to mouth, which is the reason you became an employee, so behavior which threatens the likelihood of BOTH OF YOU continuing to be employees, once again indicates poor judgment.
And finally, your continuous fantasizing about the joys of being a freelancer, while neglecting the obvious fact that it did not support you, is more continuing proof that you need to wake up and grow up.
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 11:17am
The fact being a freelancer didn't support me was because I was only working 3 days per week and that was not enough for me to do the work and also do personal marketing and go find other clients. That was the reason. That doesn't mean that I cannot go back to freelancing in the future and dreaming about that, because that's what I like doing. If I needed to wake up and grow up I wouldn't even look for a full-time job now.
I don't agree when you say that "The moment you became an employee, "your" clients became your employer's clients.". I had no obligation to bring my freelance clients into his business, he asked me if I wanted to do it and I said yes. And I agree, it's my responsibility to know everything I need to know about a job, but I was supposed to have had an induction when I started to go trough all these things, and I didn't, it has been postponed forever. And he even realised they forgot to mention that to me, because it's not in the contract.
I don't think I did something to jeopardise my job or my boyfriend's job, I asked a simple question. Maybe I'm not really tailored for this and am better off working for myself. I have been working for myself for so long that I really don't know how to fit into "office rules" anymore.
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 12:22pm
Maybe I'm not really tailored for this and am better off working for myself. I have been working for myself for so long that I really don't know how to fit into "office rules" anymore.
I think that's part of it. Offices are like politics. There is a way to do things and stepping on toes — which is what you essentially did by asking to bill a client outside of work — is going to put you on a list, and not a good one. IF your boss knows your boyfriend and you are dating, it can definitely put his job at risk. The owner of the company is not required to keep his feelings of you out of interactions, and if you tick him off enough, he can certainly take it out on your boyfriend. Ethical? No. But it (and much worse!) happens. Tread carefully.
I don't agree when you say that "The moment you became an employee, "your" clients became your employer's clients.". I had no obligation to bring my freelance clients into his business, he asked me if I wanted to do it and I said yes.
I know this isn't directed at me, but I can assure you, that it is true, only it's worded a bit funky. The moment you did a speck of work for them while being employed by the new company on company time, they are now the company's client, not yours. If you were freelancing from home, for example, then they would still be YOUR client, not the company's client. If you were to leave, you'd have to 'woo' them away. Think of the movie Jerry McGuire. When he said he was leaving the company he tried to get clients to go with him. You'd have to do the same. Of course it's more likely your client that you brought in would go with you, but that's just an example.
I do agree with others that asking to bill the client outside of the company was a bit naïve. Think of it this way, if you were a hairdresser and moved from one salon to another, and a client followed you and you did her hair while at the new salon, would you bill her separately from the salon? No, you wouldn't dream of doing so, and that's why your boss was so shocked in his reply. It was completely unprofessional to ask that.
I also agree that I think it's time you look for something else. This business doesn't seem to be a good fit for you. GL!!
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 1:11pm
Thanks for your reply Ubergeek!
Maybe I was a bit naive, but I was kinda desperated when I knew that I'll will only receive 2 weeks salary this month, since no one told me this before and I have to pay my daughter's nursery (besides the rent and all other bills).
I didn't mean I would work for client during working hours and bill them myself on a regular basis! I asked that question regarding this specific situation, nothing else! If he wasn't a client I brought, I wouldn't even ask it in the first place.
I didn't have a paycheck or office politics for a very long time and I'm so used to be very informal with my clients and ask things and that's what I just did (yeah, being naive). I hope this doesn't backlash on my boyfriend but if it does I guess I'll have to find a new job elsewhere.
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 1:19pm
I agree ith Sabr and this comes from someone who has been a contractor for over 30 years as well as an employee at the end of my career.
1- You were not able to fund yourself full time as a freelancer. That is understandable because it takes more than 9 to 5 hours to do that. Three days a week is not going to cut it. You have to constantly be on the hunt for more work, while you are working on current contract. It is not a 5 day a week job; more like a 7 day a week. You have to put yourself on a salary while putting aside a certain amount for marketing and to live off during the "guiet times". Your charge rate has to reflect that; that is why private contractors tend to be more expensive than companies. The sucessful freelancers/contractors tend to be people with a proven track record. These are people who customers do not mind paying top dollar for their services.
I would not record this approach to making a living for any young person unless they have a safety net (a partner who works fultime) or their expenses are very low.
When you closed your business effectively the day before you started your new job, did you send out final invoices for the work done TO DATE? Your new company has no obligation to reinburse you for work you did up to the 10th. They were not in control of th equality of the work; they did not have a contract with YOUR customers. You DID.
I am sure that your employer will be billing for your time to the customers from the 11th onwards; they will not bill for before the 10th unless they have "bought your company out" and taking over all liabilities and assets which I doubt that happened here.
If you haven't bill for work done prior to the 11th, do so. But make it very clear to your customers and to your employer that is what you are doing. Of course, you can only bill for work/hours your customer agreed to and it can get "messy" if that work was not to the customer's satisfaction or if it was for on-going, not completed work. You should have discussed ALL THAT before you signed your work contract. You might have "to swallow" the hours and chalk it up to a lesson learned.
2-ALL COMPANIES have set schedules to pay their employees. You worked from the 11 to the 21st; you will be paid for that time ON THE JOB. The company has no obligation to pay you for the 22nd to the 10th, you were not an employee. And then next payday, you will be paid from the 22nd to the 21st. I do not understand your complaining. Do you expect to be paid for work you did not do?
Whenever ANY ONE starts a new job, one question that employees always ask is when is payday and wheither the company issues paychecks every two weeks of 1 month, what the benefits are etc.. Typically here, support staff are paid every 2 weeks and professionals, every month. You SHOULD have known that before hand especially since you said your b/f works for the same company. It is NOT the employer's responsibility to hold the hands of their employees; to inform them on every little aspect of their employment. You did not ask the question so they would assume when you got paid was "no big deal".
3- You do not own your customers. They are free to "follow you" or not. If they "followed" you to the new company, their "contract of service" is no longer with you but with the company. You are using the company's infrastructure-office, electricity, heat, support staff etc.. By billing customer's directly while you are employee and using the company's infrastructure is theft and grounds for dismissal.
4- It is not the company's responsibility to make sure you are "not short" at the end of the month because you DID NOT work the full month for them. That is your responsibility to manage your money better. Get yourself a part-time job at a coffee shop, cut down on expenses etc.. BUT DO NOT DO ANY WORK THAT IS COMPETITION WITH YOUR PRESENT EMPLOYER.
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 2:14pm
I think that it's understandable to be confused about the pay, and I would be upset as well, finding out last minute. When I started at my new compan I was given a welcome packet and it included a pay schedule for the year. What I'm not following is that this doesn't sound like a start up, so I'm really confused on that front. How was there an established pay schedule if this was a new business? If you're employed buy an umbrella company they REALLY dropped the ball in not supplying you with proper documents. Yes you could have/should have, yadda yadda, but they too need to get you the proper documents. I'm not sure I would have thought to have asked about the pay schedule at my new company if one wasn't supplied.
I didn't mean I would work for client during working hours and bill them myself on a regular basis! I asked that question regarding this specific situation, nothing else! If he wasn't a client I brought, I wouldn't even ask it in the first place.
Was this work you did PRIOR to the new business? If so, then absolutely you can bill the client. Is that what you meant?
What I would do now is:
1) Have a sit down with the boss and discuss job duties. This needs to be set in writing.
2) Find out about getting ahold of a human resource packet of sorts. Are you contract or employee? Some things you say make me think contract but then other things make me think employee.
3) Start looking elsewhere for another position. Even try building up some freelance work. At least it will boost your resume.
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 3:17pm
Mom_iteadrinker, first of all, thank you for your reply. I'll respond to your comments:
1- That's true, I wasn´t able to fund myself and that's true, 3 days per week it's not enough to build a freelance business. If I did have more time/days per week I would go and find more clients, not go back to a full-time job.
I was invoicing my clients at the end of each month, this particular client I brought with me I was going to invoice him myself at the end of this month for the work I still did from home up until the 10th of this month and then the rest of the month it would be the company invoicing him. That was what I was going to do before I knew about the company pay dates.
2. I appreciate that one question employees always ask is when is payday. I haven't been an employee for a long time and therefore I didn't remember to ask. Also, as I've said, I was supposed to have an induction and to know all company terms and rules on my first day/week at work and it has been postponed since. Actually, it was in a very informal way around the coffee machine that the owner of the company asked me if anyone told me about the payday...
3. Of course I don't own clients and cannot bill them directly, I know that! My request to him was about a VERY specific situation, not as a general thing that I'll be doing every month!
4. Of course it's not their responsibility if I'm short of money at the end of the month, but I guess it's their responsibility to give me a proper induction on my first week as stated on my contract of employment.
|Mon, 07-28-2014 - 3:35pm
Thank you Demecafe for your reply.
This is a start-up but because he has other businesses, he's basically maintaining all established terms and schedules for the start-up as it is for the other companies. To make things easier for him I guess.
Well, the thing is, when he proposed me to start this new company with him, I didn't think I was going to be an employee... because we talked about me not even having a salary and earn dividends (I just started with a salary but will go into a small salary plus dividends), we talked about me being the director, and he even asked me for me to do the business plan for the company. For all this I thought we were going to be more like partners (like a synergy between different resources) or that I would work more as a contractor rather than an employee.
I didn't know that I was going to be a simple employee with fixed working hours and etc, that's why I asked him about the possibility of working from home one day per week and now about the invoicing. I am now realising I'm just an employee and I don't get it why if I'm just an employee, why I am responsible for invoicing the clients? Or why do I have to do the business plan myself? Shouldn't he being doing the business plan since he's the owner and I'm just an employee!?
I guess I was confused about all this, I thought I was entering something and in reality I'm entering a different thing, and my requests were based on my first assumptions. That's why I've said before that I don't know if I want to be in this like this way and if I have to be in a full-time job, if I shouldn't be in a more well-paid one (I'm earning less than my last full-time job and less than I should for such a big responsibility and work). Basically I accepted this job because it seemed more than a job, it seemed starting a new venture in a different fashion than just being an employee.
So if I was an employee in a company where I would have a bigger salary, I would still be in an office 9-5 but at least the money would be good. And many companies offer more flexibility for positions like mine (graphic designer) like the possiblity to work from home a few days for example. Hope this clarifies a bit and you all don't think I'm crazy...

Do you think that school staff members should be allowed to carry concealed weapons?
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 12-17-2012 - 12:03pm
I was talking to my husband about the school shooting in CT and he remarked that schools should no longer be gun free zones and that school staff members should be allowed to carry a gun in order to prevent these tragedies from occurring. I don't agree with this logic, because I think it puts kids at a greater risk to have any guns in the school. I was interested to see what others think of this, what is your opinion?
|Mon, 12-17-2012 - 12:20pm
I think more safety measures need to be put in place, but more guns is not the solution. Ensuring that people who are not supposed to be in the building during school hours is the first step. You can't just make a blanket statement that teachers should be able to carry concealed weapons, I don't think a LOT of teachers would agree with that either. Unfortunately, we live in a world where no place is safe, your home, the schools, malls, movie theatres,etc. Unless you live in in a bunker completely off the grid and away from anyone who could potentially harm you, we are all at risk just living our regular lives. Again the toll from these shooting is far less than the lives of those taken in war. The violence has to stop at the highest level before it will trickle down to the smallest town.
|Mon, 12-17-2012 - 2:07pm
|Wed, 12-19-2012 - 3:18am
No place is ever going to be safe every time. Training you kids what to do is very important.
|Wed, 12-19-2012 - 11:17pm
I'm a teacher and I don't have a clear thought on this one. I do know that a concealed carry permit requires an extensive background check - an FBI level check that delves back into juvenile records as well as adult records. If a teacher was able to carry concealed, it would be someone who has been essentially checked out far more than your average hunter or citizen.
In general, just taking away the "gun free" zone would probably help. Station a cop or national guardsman at the curb and you're all set - everyone knows someone is paying attention and this would defer a lot of potential violence. Right now children are a very easy target sadly.

Chris Mack gets 100th career victory with win over Wake Forest
Xavier men's basketball coach Chris Mack got his 100th career victory with a 68-53 win over Wake Forest Saturday night.
Matt Stainbrook scored a season-high 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Xavier Musketeers rolled to a 68-53 non-conference win over Wake Forest on Saturday.
James Farr added 13 points and Semaj Christon finished with 12 for the Musketeers, who led by as many as 22 points while holding the Demon Deacons to their lowest point total of the season. Wake Forest set the previous low in a 59-51 win over North Carolina-Greensboro in its last game on December 21.
Codi Miller-McIntyre led the Demon Deacons with 11 points and Coron Williams added 10 - all in the first half.
Stainbrook's double-double was his third of the season. Before a crowd of 10,064, the Musketeers finished their non-conference schedule with a 10-3 record, their best since going 11-2 in the 2008-2009 season.

I had the head gasket changed, as well as the thermostat. There has been no definitive test as to why I am losing coolant. The dealer had my car for a week, and they tell me "it must be a cracked head. We can't really determine for sure until we open up the head". I don't understand the answer, as they should have seen this when they changed the head gasket? Pressure tests show nothing. I am losing coolant still.

Thanks for the reply..when I first brought the car into the dealer- they used a scope to determine that the head gasket was cracked. I asked if the heads were ok, and they said yes. Now I am told it isn't. Does this sound like an irresponsible repair? I just want my car fixed.

This should have been checked before replacing the head gasket by either the repair shop or by sending the cylinder head to a machine shop. standard proceedure when replacing a head gasket.

Wow...I thought so. This is a major Mercedes Benz dealer in the area. Can you suggest what I should do?

Not very professional of them,I would try to go after them legally but first i would try calling mercedes benz usa corporate office, they might go after the dealership. good luck.
