Over time Pay for Staff

Gunslinger · November 8, 2000, 09:49 AM

As I was visiting the board last night I could see what an over load the election was creating for everyone and knew it would get worse before it got any better. Legal going down due to traffic, political topics posted in general, political topics double posted in both forums, multiple post on the same topic all over, political discussion breaking into nonrelated topics in Art of the Rifle and HG&PC, et. al..

I can imagine that a lot of midnight oil was burned in the staff lounge last night and it is still not over.

Thank you all.

Thank *you,* Gunslinger!

There was almost nothing going on in the lounge last night. We were all out on the boards, doin' our thang.

Legal was a mad house, seemed like there were five new posts every minute all night long. I was online from 8pm until 2am. Six straight hours of updates, reading and posting.

Loved every minute of it.

I just wish we had a winner...

Thanks, Bill. I'm the one who should have posted this thank you. The Staff really shined last night. I know there were a number of people tuned to TFL on the computer and CNN on the TV. Without the attention and quick work of Dave and others, we really would have gone down the tubes.

Thanks guys....all salaries are doubled for the month!

Yeah!
Now I can afford to gaze wistfully at the sunset!

And I can finally start paying attention! I think I'll use what's left over to chip in on a computer for the Florida Board of Elections, or at least an abacus.

I don'think tonight is going to be much easier.
Hey, maybe Rich will triple staff wages for the month.

It's not the computer that Florida needs.
They fell short in integrity and leadership.
How in the world could ANYone working on the election "loose" a box of ballots? Fraud is the only answer.

Doesn't "finding" a ballot box remind anyone of "finding" the "lost" FBI files on a White House coffee table - in plain sight? After *months* of being "lost"?

Fair and free elections?? Bah! Humbug! Now we're as bad as Colombia.

Yes, MANY THANKS to Rich and ALL of the staff! As always, you are doing a great job. I really appreciate your relaxed guidelines during the crisis. I think you have made a wise move, in not trying to lock every duplicate thread in L & P. People's nerves are on edge and they need to vent. When half of us are about to literally hurl because of what has been going on, it would be very hard to adhere to a rigid set of rules.

God bless you all and God save the Republic!
