A: and people will just get, | 200 | switchboard |
A: I mean, I've, | 201 | switchboard |
A: my brother lives where I work, | 202 | switchboard |
A: and I have many a time called him to come get me, you know. | 203 | switchboard |
A: And, uh, uh, but, you know, they don't think twice about serving beer by the keg. You know, | 204 | switchboard |
B: Yeah | 205 | switchboard |
A: but, uh, I think drug testing, | 206 | switchboard |
A: and I, I don't know, | 207 | switchboard |
A: I guess I I think it's got some relevance, | 208 | switchboard |
A: but I think its relevance is pretty limited. | 209 | switchboard |
A: I mean, I think, you know, | 210 | switchboard |
A: in your case, I don't think that you should necessarily be subjected to drug testing. | 211 | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | 212 | switchboard |
A: I think that's an interesting policy your company has about testing immediately after an on the job accident. | 213 | switchboard |
B: Yeah, | 214 | switchboard |
B: it's really, it's really bizarre. | 215 | switchboard |
B: Uh, particularly, like where we are, you know. | 216 | switchboard |
B: I, I, | 217 | switchboard |
B: there was a story of a woman last year who, who actually did slip on the ice and, and like sprained her ankle | 218 | switchboard |
B: and she, she was a personnel secretary | 219 | switchboard |
B: and she had to get tested | 220 | switchboard |
B: and, I don't know | 221 | switchboard |
B: I'm ambivalent about the whole thing. | 222 | switchboard |
B: I, you know, I have a lot of mixed feelings about on the one hand, it's like if, you know, | 223 | switchboard |
B: they're, they should be able to make it as a continue of employment in some sense | 224 | switchboard |
B: and, you know, it's like you're, I mean, employments are contractual by nature anyway | 225 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 226 | switchboard |
B: but, uh, I had an experience when I was interviewing for a job that, where I had to, uh, uh, do a drug test | 227 | switchboard |
B: and, and it's, it was kind of a long story, | 228 | switchboard |
B: but it was, it was just an incredibly humiliating experience what I went through, | 229 | switchboard |
B: and it amounted to, uh, going in, uh, before any of these interviews, | 230 | switchboard |
B: I'm not even working for this company, | 231 | switchboard |
B: I'm going in for, like, interviews | 232 | switchboard |
B: and they flew me out to Chicago | 233 | switchboard |
B: and, and, uh, before I went into any of the interviews, uh, they took me to the doctor to give me a physical. | 234 | switchboard |
B: They said it was going to be a physical, you know, | 235 | switchboard |
B: and, uh, actually beforehand they told me they were going to, uh, do drug screening, | 236 | switchboard |
B: but I had forgotten about that, | 237 | switchboard |
B: and so, basically, I'd already peed off that morning | 238 | switchboard |
B: and, and when I got in there, I didn't, I wasn't, like, able to give a full sample, | 239 | switchboard |
B: and so they made me sit and wait for forty-five minutes, drink a whole ton of water before I went to any of the interviews and go in there again, | 240 | switchboard |
A: Oh. | 241 | switchboard |
A: Right. | 242 | switchboard |
B: and the, and the, the procedure is utterly humiliating. | 243 | switchboard |
B: You go in there with the doctor, | 244 | switchboard |
B: he makes you take off all your clothes | 245 | switchboard |
B: and then he examines you. | 246 | switchboard |
A: Uh, the question was kind of interesting to me because I was just trying to put together a, uh, long term financial plan and monthly budget. | 247 | switchboard |
A: The only thing I do now is, uh, put the data into Quicken. | 248 | switchboard |
A: I don't know if you are familiar with that. | 249 | switchboard |
B: Yeah, | 250 | switchboard |
B: I have some friends of mine who use Quicken | 251 | switchboard |
B: and, uh, I've considered using it once myself, | 252 | switchboard |
B: but I decided that the amount of information that would have to go in would be a lot of time keeping that up to date. | 253 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 254 | switchboard |
B: So I, I kind of gave up on the idea of using Quicken, at least for now. | 255 | switchboard |
A: Um. I've found it's the only reliable way to keep a check book balanced actually because what will happen is my wife will write a few checks and then, well, uh, uh, not bother to total it | 256 | switchboard |
B: Uh-huh. | 257 | switchboard |
A: and then it comes in to doing all the arithmetic. | 258 | switchboard |
A: So it really helps with that. | 259 | switchboard |
B: Yeah, | 260 | switchboard |
B: well, it's similar problems | 261 | switchboard |
B: but, uh, we just have the one check book | 262 | switchboard |
B: and we try to keep it up to date as much as possible | 263 | switchboard |
B: and occasionally we will get behind like you say | 264 | switchboard |
B: but, uh, it doesn't really seem to be too, too tight if we just remember to keep everything up, up to date and balanced. | 265 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 266 | switchboard |
B: Well, how to you handle that, the long range or medium range planning on finances? | 267 | switchboard |
A: Well, actually we haven't had to. Uh, until just recently. | 268 | switchboard |
A: I guess we've got a, a daughter who is eighteen months and another one on the way | 269 | switchboard |
A: so we needed to start doing more of that just for, uh, you know, saving for college and things like that. | 270 | switchboard |
B: Uh-huh. | 271 | switchboard |
A: We tried a way, try to put away two and four thousand a year just for that. | 272 | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | 273 | switchboard |
B: Well that's pretty good if you can do that. | 274 | switchboard |
B: I know. | 275 | switchboard |
B: I have a daughter who's ten | 276 | switchboard |
B: and we haven't really put much away for her college up to this point | 277 | switchboard |
B: but, uh, we're to the point now where our financial income is enough that we can consider putting some away for college, | 278 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 279 | switchboard |
B: so we are going to be starting a regular payroll deduction in the fall | 280 | switchboard |
A: Um. | 281 | switchboard |
B: and then the money that I will be making this summer we'll be putting away for the college fund. | 282 | switchboard |
A: Um. Sounds good. | 283 | switchboard |
A: Yeah, | 284 | switchboard |
A: I guess we're, we're just at the point, uh, | 285 | switchboard |
A: my wife worked until we had a family | 286 | switchboard |
A: and then, you know, now we're just going on the one income | 287 | switchboard |
A: so it's a lot more interesting trying to, uh, | 288 | switchboard |
B: Uh-huh. | 289 | switchboard |
A: find some extra payroll deductions is probably the only way we will be able to, uh, do it. | 290 | switchboard |
A: You know, kind of enforce the savings. | 291 | switchboard |
B: Uh-huh. | 292 | switchboard |
A: But, uh, it will be interesting to see | 293 | switchboard |
B: Well our situation is just a little bit, kind of the opposite of that cause my wife was not working for some time and was going to school and just recently, uh, took on a full time job, well almost full time. | 294 | switchboard |
A: Um. | 295 | switchboard |
B: So, it's only recently that we've had the money where we could start putting away large sums of it for, uh, long range goals like college and sickness and travel and that kind of thing. | 296 | switchboard |
A: Um. | 297 | switchboard |
A: That sounds good. | 298 | switchboard |
A: But, uh, uh, I was just curious, what, uh, part of the country. | 299 | switchboard |
