About Want to pick my son up by myself after summer visitation

Want to pick my son up by myself after summer visitation.
My youngest son has been at hsi mothers all summer for visitation. I am suppossed to pick him up at the half-way point between Fort Wayne, IN and Alexandria, VA (about a 5 hour drive). To make a long story short, I want to make the trip alone without my fiance' or my oldest son. I want to have some time alone with my youngest, who is 13 years old, to talk about summer and bond a bit with him, Alone. I am not trying to be mean to anyone, I have just not seen him at all this summer. This is on Sunday and I then have to go back to my hectic work schedule on Monday. My fiance' is mad ant me and is telling me she is going. I just want to be alone and spend some time with him all to myself. Any input would be great.

Answer 1 :
Explain to her that you just want some father-son time alone with him since you haven't seen him all summer. Promise her you'll take her out on a date that night (or the following weekend). If you have the money, maybe you could buy her a pampering day at the spa so she's not feeling quite so left out

Answer 1 :
It sounds like you are working for a small company, that offers a lot of work flexibility, and very little bureaucracy. Not too bad, but you are now wondering if the grass is greener on the other side. Other jobs require business casual, 8:00 am to 5:00 PM, and 15 days off a year including holidays. And no sick leave either. Not very relaxed. We all have unpaid overtime, except when I worked for the Government. You need to find something to energize you. Have you thought of getting better credentials? Joining and becoming active in professional societies ( great source of contacts) Have you thought about going back to school part time. I went back after 20 years, what a trip through the spin cycle that was. But it got me out of my rut.
Answer 2 :
Anything over $43,000 and you are doing pretty good with no prior experience. Your work load is actually pretty light overall

About How do these new full body scans work

How do these new full body scans work?
Last time I was in an airport was September of '10 and since then I know they have installed many full body scanners. I was wondering, how do they work? Do you just walk in, stand still, and then move along? Also, do kids or teens (12 & 14) have to go through? Or do they just go through a normal metal detector? I'm very confused, and I am flying tomorrow, so JW. Idc if I do have to go through a detector, but I'm just wondering. Sorry if I sound very ignorant. I'll be in these airports throughout the following week, which ones do have the full-body scanners? Do they all? -Cleveland Hopkins -John Wayne -Denver International -Dallas Fort Worth Thanks!

Answer 1 :
Idk what airports will have them but I heard that all airports are getting them. At the airport I had applied for if you look suspicious or if you go off in the metal detector you then go through that scanner. You just stand still with hands in the air and get scanned. It is the same for adults and kids alike. Also the scanner does not show porno-grade images as the news stated. The face isn't even shown and you can barely even make out the body. Images also are not saved. Have a fun and safe plane ride
Answer 2 :
Ignorance simply means you don't know - so you take steps to find out more - as you are doing, which I take to be a sign of intelligence. This is a list, from the TSA, that indicates which airports have those scanners. There is a whole section in the TSA site about them - and this only one of the links: http://www.tsa.gov/approach/tech/ait/faqs.shtm Denver and Dallas do have those scanners. The other 2 do not - at least according to the list. Also: Q. Is imaging technology optional? A. Yes, imaging technology screening is optional for all passengers. Passengers who do not wish to receive imagining technology screening will receive alternative screening, including a physical pat-down.
Answer 3 :
You walk in, stand with your legs and arms apart, wait a second, and then exit. If anything is found the machine will buzz and you will then be given a pat down in the area that had something suspicious set off the alarm. It is entirely optional to go through these. If you do not want to go through it just state, "I would prefer a pat down" and they will call an officer of the same sex over to pat you down, and you may be asked to walk through a traditional metal detector first. The images of the scans are no where visible down on the floor where the scans are taken place so no one but the officers working up in a different room will see the scan.
Answer 4 :
everyone has to through the body scan and yes u hav to stand still n move on

About Removed from Position by Company without Documentation

Removed from Position by Company without Documentation?
I was an operations manager with a company and was removed from the position with the reason that I lack inter-personal skills, as well as that I had been at the same location for too long. I had good annual reviews up until this point. There was no documentation stating that I was not performing to expectations, nor was I given an opportunity to perform at the expectation level. My pay was decreased to the level it was at prior to my promotion to Operations Manager. I was then assigned to work with the current weekend shift supervisor, which I did. I was then assigned to go to Fort Wayne, IN to help with another account. I have done this for 8 weeks. I am now being told that if I do not accept a supervisor position at another of our sites, then my employment will be ended with the company. I would receive 9 weeks of severance pay (one week for every year of service). Do I have a case for wrongful termination in the state of IL or should I just take the severance and run?
