My guess is that it wouldn't be allowed. All students have to download and use the Workday app to enter their start and stop times, every time they work. If they forgot a stop time, the system would send a message. The supervisor can edit their student employee's time. I always use the website.
That, at least, would have been a helluva lot easier to work with. I had to add up all the hours and input them every 2 weeks. When they filled out those little cards, there was just waaaaaay too much freedom to exaggerate hours.

Flipping channels came across Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis Jr. doing a tap off. They were 2 talented dudes. I always liked the movie White Nights with Hines and Baryshnikov haven't seen it yrs though don't know if it holds up or not, but I liked it at the time.

MrsWx's aunt brought over some bar height chairs that they weren't using anymore for use at our island. They are awesome other than the fact that I am pretty sure I am smelling smoke from her uncle now.

Looks like I am going to miss my 100 miles walkabout goal for February by a few miles. My old friend the right foot metatarsals stress fracture is back. Been bothering me some as it did when I used to run and been getting worse. When the first thing I notice upon waking in the morning is foot pain I usually shutdown and that happened this morning.

Did last night. $2.54.

Did one car this morning...a smidge of a wince when I saw the price per gallon.

SPEAKING of cars...

So ye olde car that needed spark plugs and wires actually sounded weirder when we got it back...kind of a hissing noise when you hit the accelerator, and it wasn't there before. Brought it back to the mechanic, and they say "Oh, x and y now need replacing..." (I'll spare the details) Needless to say, it was way too much money on top of the rest of the money we'd already thrown at it the past 30 days. The saying is something like throwing good money after bad?

Longer story short, after a few days of research by a friend, and a couple of test drives, we ended up buying this.

2008 GMC Acadia, 110k, and a very good price. We pulled the rug out from under a couple of people who wanted to test drive later today. Thing is quite tricked out, and we can't wait for road trips and tailgating with it.

@GTO and @BoxsterCy , we THINK the official color is white diamond tricoat. Unoffcial color? Vanilla. ;):cool:

Looks like a good tailgating vehicle to me, regardless of the flavor.
