Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Nice weather yesterday and today here, but when your head is full of snot it's hard to enjoy anything. Job is still going well, I'm kinda in shock since my other job trials here didn't work out. It's been a month or so. Biggest issue is that the boss hates giving any time off and won't allow substitutes, so vets within the practice group (6 of us) have to cover each other. I am getting two days off for a wedding in Seattle in August because I asked for it before I signed my contract. And I get two days off around New Years so I am planning to go to LA to see all my family. Too short a trip for DL though! Dang it. Just to vent a little, our new 12-month rental contract has a clause in it that they can raise the rent whenever they want. I thought we signed a fixed-rate lease to avoid that. We're discussing before signing. But apparently under Michigan law they can raise it in the middle if they need to to cover a utility or tax increase. We'll at least make them put that in the contract, with the word "documentable". If things don't go well, we might start house-searching, but we really were hoping to spend another year in the apartment before deciding if we're sticking here for >5 years. Okay, I'll stop venting and rambling.

Originally Posted By smedley Dreamin, I hope you can figure out the rental thing, that really does sound like a pain in the a$$ glad to hear that the job is going well at least, even if the holiday situation is a bit more difficult!
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Dreamin - Glad to hear the job is going good still. I have never heard of a contract where they can just raise your rate whenever they want. I would think they were just trying to cover for themselves if they got hit with a rate change. I would hope that they wouldn't have any problems adding that it would have to be documentable. Boy Smeds, you sure do talk a lot. I wonder how many posts the plane had before it got its' license revoked. Smeds - Dallas had some crazy hail last night. Some of it baseball. I thankfully, only saw it on the news as it was further East than I am.
