For those who were kind enough to express interest, my decision came in the mail this afternoon. Here's the conclusion:

"Without any hard evidence that the expense report in question was fraudulently prepared, the only evidence appears to be violations of form and violations of general company policy. It would seem that after 27 years of apparently good and conscientous employment with the employer, that the violations complained of do not rise to the level such that benefits should be denied under the Employment Security Act.

"The claimant is not disqualified for benefits under Section --- of the Employment Security Act."

That makes 3 wins out of 4 cases thusfar!!!

MsNo, downtown Fort Worth has that same problem. They have tried everything, including shotguns loaded with blanks. One man wrote to the paper that they should be viewed as rats and treated accordingly. He made the point that no one would stand for an influx of that many rats in the downtown area and wouldn't hesitate to eradicate them.

Won, with all due respect, bigote means mustache in Spanish--barba is beard.

I hate it when stuff you like is discontinued, it's anoying in and of itself and, like Ms. No, it makes you wonder if you've been making the wrong choices all along.

That post was motivated by my favourte curry paste being sudddenly discontinued, now all my recipes have to be rejigged.

Back to your regular programming.

Hello, Halo!

13637. judithathome - 2/3/2005 1:49:43 AM

Congrats, Wonk!!!

13638. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 1:51:07 AM

Curry paste? Never heard that existed, I know curry powder, though.

13639. robertjayb - 2/3/2005 1:51:30 AM

All hail the bringer of justice. Well done, wonkers2.

Halo, when something I love and have been using for a long time is discontinued, I feel they just don't know a good thing when they see it. It pisses me off that are so short sighted. I usually write a long letter, predicting doom for their company if they continue to make such bad decisions.

13641. arkymalarky - 2/3/2005 1:53:55 AM

I felt that way when they quit making green Pixy Stix. After a couple of years I seem to have finally adjusted. And no, I'm not kidding.

Congrats Wonk!

Hi Magoseph

Curry paste is the proper base for curries, tradionally it is made and stored in one's own kitchen from old family recipes.

I look on the supermarket shelvss at things in jars that haven't changed since the war, in fact I suspect they're the same jars - I'm in London after all. BUT, my nice curry paste has the dreaded label "discontinued". I bought the last 4 jars which will last me 6 months but it's the principle!

13643. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 2:05:33 AM

Are you English, Halo?

13644. Halo - 2/3/2005 2:43:02 AM

No, I am Australian born.

13645. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 3:04:59 AM

Good night, Halo--please, come back soon!

13646. wonkers2 - 2/3/2005 7:30:07 AM

Thanks, all. W2

13647. Macnas - 2/3/2005 11:46:29 AM

Wonk, good on you.

13648. alistairconnor - 2/3/2005 1:13:06 PM

Ah, a fellow euro-antipodean.

Welcome Halo.

Four jars of curry paste in six months? You've really gone native, haven't you.

13649. wonkers2 - 2/3/2005 3:53:42 PM

Thanks, all. W2
