I really didn't have much Cali-related to post about.

Anyways, quick run-down of the past 29 weeks:

Been having a great time occasionally hanging out with a fox and 'mute, been doing quite a bit of horticulture, been working a job and got promoted to supervisor position in 3 months.

That picture is of my current medical crop. Her name is 'Yo Momma.'

Perhaps I'll update more on this account as more fun California stuff happens!

Happy Halloween everyone!

So I've been experimenting with deep water culture hydroponics.

These sweet basil clones have been in the buckets for four days, as of tonight. They have grown a centimeter or so, and look like they are beginning to become established in their new Hydroton home.

I'm pleased with this. I think I might just try reviving my near-dead African Basil mother plant in one of these buckets.

Okay, so, anyways, moved into a new apartment in Redlands. Great place, about $550-600 cheaper rent per month. got my wonderful tiger, and all is well.

Except for the RAIN today which sent all kinds of pain through my knee.

To put it literally, the rocks in your head aren't in the right place and alignment.

I happen to be suffering from this, and have for the past week, now. The doctors were finally able to see me.

Treatment? Meclizine to mask dizziness and some head positional maneuvers to get the rocks in my head back in the right order.

The medical profession indeed has to deal with oddball stuff!

No lawyers, I just need someone that can find me California Labor Code laws and OSHA regulations.

To be a little more specific, here's how the work day goes, just to give you an idea of what I'm looking for:

7am-9am - work
9am-9:30am - 30 minute break
9:30a-2:30p - work
2:30-2:40 - 10 minute break
Now, from here, I'll either be told to work for 10 minutes and go on my last ten minute break (right before I get off the clock) or they'll have me take my second 10 minute break immediately after taking my first ten minute break. I don't think that's right, and I also believe that the lunch break is supposed to come in the middle of your shift, with the ten minute breaks on either side.

Also, I believe OSHA has interpreted part of it's sanitation regulations to address the need for bathroom breaks - my employer tends to only allow bathroom breaks while we're on our breaks and lunch break while OSHA mandates accessible bathroom facilities for employees to use at any time.

In addition, our employer has a policy of "No breaks of any kind between 11am-1:30pm" and I believe that comes in violation of California Labor Code.

Finally, California Labor code 226.7 requires employers to pay employees an extra hour for the workday if the employee missed any of their break periods due to management not giving the break. Guess what? My employer hasn't paid ANYONE their dues in this matter. No help needed there, as I know what to do about that.

My problem is my internet is ungodly spotty right now, and even as I type this the net is going up and down.

Can anyone help me or perhaps give me a relevant phone number in California (Redlands, if possible) so that I may address this?

Much thanks.

Gracias for the pizza and wings and cinnamon sticks and other essentials! The tiger and I had a wonderful time! Hope your Sunday was a great one!
