From the way you describe what happened, it certainly seems like you are in the right. I know that some people take an exorbitant amount of time (30+ seconds) when checking a spot, and in some cases it can mess the spot up for a load. But taking several seconds to stick your head out the door, check for air-traffic and locate the LZ is perfectly reasonable. I would try to speak with this guy and ask him why it bothered him so much. If he is not willing to talk to you or be reasonable, talk to his boss and get his or her opinion on the matter.

I'm still waiting for my Christmas bonus from last year. I was promised a nice, staff, fleece jacket, gave them my size and all... still, nothing. This year I obviously don't get anything since I got hurt and had to stop packing. My boyfriend has gotten several holiday gifts from his boss this year that I think are nice. A costco giftcard, a nice new carhart jacket, a pretty pink poinsettia and his boss took all the guys out to a nice pizza place and bought them lunch and beers.

I'm wearing socks and tevas right now, with jeans and a black turtleneck sweater. Quite lovely outfit, I think. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I could use a wife too. Someone needs to clean our house. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Very good point Dave. It is not only very comfortable, but also out of consideration of the noses of others that us non-fashionable types wear sandals with socks. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Or to be seen on people who don't care about strange social expectations of not mixing very comfortable shoes with very cozy socks. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I can't see his face.. But it could be this guy named Richard... "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

On an everything bagel, smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, red onions, tomato, sprouts and some lemon zest. But then I would eat it. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I am so jealous!!!! But I am finishing my application to grad school at UC Boulder this week... "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I reported them as a fraudulent business! I've never done something like that. But these guys earned my anger. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Because Jeff has a full time job and keeps real busy packing reserves. He wants some free time.. My buddies are busy with their jobs too, and the decision is ultimately up to my landlord as to who to hire. And we're wary about doing work for a landlord. It seems like whenever that has happened in the past, we get the short end of the stick and it really complicates the relationship.

Man.. I'm going nuts here. 3 days so far and they haven't finished removing drywall from two walls that are 8x8 and a ceiling that is 8x8. That probably should have taken about 2-4 hours. At least with their presence I'm pretty much forced to retreat to our office and work on grad school applications.

I'm glad to hear he came through surgery alright. Poor little guy. I hope they are giving him really good drugs! That is a tough choice for the dog. Maybe there is a rescue society that can take him and place him in an appropriate home. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

My boyfriend, who hangs drywall for a living and takes pride in his work, came home and wrote instructions for them all over the walls. I'm a bit pissed that they didn't even sweep the area when they left for the day. I'm so non-confrontational, but I need to tell them before they leave that not cleaning up their job site in unacceptable.

We've got power! (Obviously.) We only lost power from Thursday night till Friday at noon. I was actually hoping it would stay out a bit longer. It was fun. But our home and the water heater is heated by natural gas. So it wasn't cold, just dark.... and romantic. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I'm sure he'll be fine. Little kids heal up sooo well! Hopefully when he's older he won't remember this and won't be scared of dogs, but maybe just respect their boundaries. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

ARrrhhh. It's been about 3 weeks since the house flooded and work still won't be done for a while. We've got two incompetent guys working on tearing out all the drywall in one room, covering venting holes that were drilled in the walls, replacing baseboards, painting, texturizing.... Every one of my construction buddies that has come over says the work should take about 2, maximum 3 days for one person. These two guys are telling me more than a week! They didn't even sweep up after themselves yesterday and drywall dust and debris got all over everything. They were shocked when I came home halfway through the day and put in a special request for drop cloths to cover our stuff. And to top it off.. I've been working on writing essays and personal statements for grad school and one guy is going around singing everytime he gets close to our little office. I hope it's not for my benefit. Just need to vent. It is frustrating living in a construction zone. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I think that you're probably right about the BS part. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I would buy a used copy online (on amazon.com or something) of the previous edition of the book. Often, very little is changed and you could probably talk to your professor to look at the current edition to see what is different, and perhaps make copies where changes are important. I've done this before and a book that would have cost near $100 ended up costing about $15 for an earlier edition. It is a little bit more work this way, but it has always worked out for me and instructors have been willing to work with me. They appreciate the financial struggles of college students.
