polecat8, FIL in particularly used to rag on SIL's partner. The same complaints, every time. Eventually, I had enough and told them that G had never been anything BUT kind to me and that I refused to listen to him carry on. It took me walking out of the room/house/restaurant several times, but it stopped. I'm sure they still carried on like that when I wasn't around, but at least I didn't have to listen to it (or condone it by listening to it).
Hopefully having said your piece helps you, even if it doesn't help him.
Effing Tuesday...my new payroll client who said they weren't doing prevailing wage jobs anymore just sent me over payroll. Prevailing wage and 20 pages of timecards for 6 guys. Argh. I really hate prevailing wage and it is so complicated and time intensive. Its going to take me all day to do this one payroll.
It's also raining here but I'm really glad it is raining. For the fact we already have multiple forest fires going on in the state that have taken a couple houses we are in desperate need of rain. We've had a crazy weather year for 2019 so far. Record snow, record rain which lead to record flooding, and now a way too early fire season.
