Really? You get paid twice a week? Why?

Bi-weekly can mean every two weeks (bi=two), or it can mean twice a week, as you said. It's why most editors suggest saying "every two" or "twice a" instead. More letters, but greater clarity.

one fail swoop

Well, it's supposed to mean "every two", and "twice a" is supposed to be "semi". At least, that's my understanding of it. Personally, I give up on people choosing the right one, and ask what they mean when they use one of the other.

Bi-weekly has always meant "Every two weeks" at the places I've worked.

Who needs "help wanted" signs when I have CS? In all reality, I'm afraid of turning into a sucky boss though.

thast way you need to hire people who can pull you to the side and tell you where being a....'sucky boss'

[Chromatix]

For "every two weeks", I would say "fortnightly" to make it unambiguous.

Most Americans don't know what a fortnight is.

[Evil Queen]

That's true, a lot don't but it does sound awesome. I may use that if I ever do wind up with "Help Wanted" signs/ads/whatever.

I, also, humbly submit myself for employment in your establishment.

I did, in the way ago past, actually go to school for hosp. mgmt, but ended up *curses jack-ass ex who made me quit* switching to another employment area altogether!

However, prior to that, I did work in one of our fair city's oldest and most interesting hotel (haunted and everything!). I can even, if required, work one of those old switchboards where you had to pull out a cord, plug it into another hole and ring the caller through to the guest (although I fried that one out when I spilled coffee on the board )

I can also do your promotional materials, and I also have kitchen experience (I make great cookies - remind you to send me my vanilla pudding cookie recipe *tries to bribe shamelessly*), and with my current battle with insomnia, have no problems working nights.

I have organized events for between 20 and 150 - luncheons, dinners, weddings and receptions for many friends in the past (it would be nice to get paid for it, but heck, with such a great staff as you currently look like you'll be hiring, I'd do it for the fun as well).

S.O. is also very supportive of us moving anywhere that makes me happy. I also have no criminal record so I can move to the States!

Oh, oh, oh, and between my SO and myself we not only have an amazing collection of animation and anime, but also a very eclectic book collection we would be willing to share with my co-workers!

ok i love TOlady....

Most Americans don't know what a fortnight is.

I first heard of that word when I was a little girl . . . in fact it was when I read the classic novel "Little Women" for the first time.

I also had a dictionary so I looked it up . . . . but then I was a weird child.

[Broomjockey]

I was a weird child.

You know what they say about weird kids, right?


They grow up to be weird adults.

And the problem with that is???


(TOlady loves you too, sliceanddice! Hugs and kisses all-round! BTW - you were the very, very, very first person's post I read when I stumbled upon CS. Reading your posts when I found the site made me feel that I could be comfortable here.!)

Old day closer to retirement (unless EQ will hire me... BTW - did I mention I make an amazing buttermilk pound cake with chocolate swirl?)
