[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief 13:21, not every single post is troll. YOU are the only troll on here. Just because you have not experienced a particular situation, doesn't mean no one has. Pull your head out of your ass and live a little and you'll experience a whole world of people and situations that are distinct from your own!

OP, I would let DB know you NEED to get paid on Jan 13 or you will not be available any longer. Personally, I'd blow the dust off my resume and start applying to jobs that interest me because the writing is on the wall...he can't afford a nanny anymore and is most likely working on other options. I would also let him know you need a partial payment sooner so you can at least pay rent (don't tell him you have savings to cover this.)

Good luck, I hope things work out for all of you, but if he's willing to go without paying you now (esp right at Christmas) then he'll do it again. I'd be looking elsewhere.[/quote]

You misunderstood 13:21, youngster.  When someone says they have a bridge to sell you, they are referring to the Brooklyn Bridge.

From Wikipedia: [quote]References to "selling the Brooklyn Bridge" abound in American culture, sometimes as examples of rural gullibility but more often in connection with an idea that strains credulity. For example, "If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you." George C. Parker and William McCloundy are two early 20th-century con-men who had (allegedly) successfully perpetrated this scam on unwitting tourists.[61][/quote]

Yes, one finds trolls under bridges also but that is not what this phrase refers to.   :) [/quote]
