Last week in Durham, NC. Driver got all the kids off safely, thankfully. No, not electric ... it was a diesel bus. No time to waste. If you see smoke, evacuate!

Back to work folks ... https://apps.labor.ny.gov/IndividualReg//

If you have to open a new claim for Presidents Week do it on Monday, not this Sunday, (as I heard someone being told). Unemployment week is from Monday to Sunday so this Sunday you would be claiming for this week which you just worked, capeesh? Can't do that.

You can open a new claim Monday or any day during the coming week. You will be told to certify a week from this Wednesday but you can do it  Sunday the 25th.

Roads look pretty clear according to these traffic cameras ... https://www.weatherbug.com/traffic-cam/staten-island-ny-10306

So ... one of my oriental fathers handed me this little red envelope, (that color means "good luck" to them), with a 20 dollar bill inside! Helps offset the 15% loss in pay tomorrow ... LOL.

You go, dragon!!

Quote from: docjones on February 12, 2024, 08:15:50 PMDoes this include all jewish and catholic schools? Or just for public?

There will be NO SERVICE for ANY school tomorrow.

Public schools will go to remote learning tomorrow due to upcoming snow storm.

In case you didn't know  ...

A number of people use Dr. Weiner on Forest Hill Rd. as I did for about 10 years. Nice guy, friendly, usually accepts our coverage as full payment for most things. However I feel it was due to his negligence that I needed $12,000 worth of implants last year.

I believe Dr. Brenman on Bay St. also accepts our coverage as payment in full. Have not used him myself but a number of drivers do.

You can use this link to find a dentist that takes our coverage. Just put in "1181" as the union number and your zip code. If you need a specific type on dentist you can choose it from the the speciality list at the bottom. Being on this list does not necessarily mean they accept our coverage as FULL payment. >>>  https://ddsinc.net/find-provider.php

It came to my attention that the 2023-2024 School year calendar has been revised to add 3 days off this spring for PUBLIC schools. They are Monday, April 1 ... the day after Easter ... and Monday April 29 and Tuesday April 30 to extend Spring Recess (Passover) which is the previous week.

Here's the revised calendar. This link will be at the top of the "Reference Topics" board >>> https://cdn-blob-prd.azureedge.net/prd-pws/docs/default-source/default-document-library/school-year-2023-24-calendar-corrected.pdf?sfvrsn=a8e6eb7e_2
