I need to find a new daycare center.

Urg, I feel so bad.

Details?

The care taker is often sick(she can't shake a pneumonia for 2 months now) so she wants us to not bring the children when they are sick. I have 2 small children, sick is a constant state of being in fall/winter. I can not afford to miss that many work days, especially in a row.

2 weeks ago daycare was close to a whole week & now Ariel's going to miss all this week too.

It sucks to take Ariel out, she seems to like it there & the lady really loves her. Plus it already had a place for Cédric all lined up without me having to pay for it.

That indeed sucks. Thankfully I never used a day-care, but it strikes me that one that won't take kids if they have a sniffle is about as much use as an umbrella that only works when it isn't raining.

Yes but that doesn't reduce the fact that I feel bad. She's going about doing her day to day life while My girlfriend & I are plotting to take away 2 of the 6 children she take care of & the revenu associated with it.

Fuck, I could never fire people.

Finally some piece of Jersey City news to be proud of.

State officials: Fugitive surrender program in Jersey City sets new record

Figures released Tuesday morning show a total of 4,587 fugitives turned themselves in to the Fugitive Safe Surrender program in Jersey City last week, making it the most successful program in the state and the third most successful program in the nation, New Jersey Acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman announced.

"This Fugitive Safe Surrender event was a tremendous, record-breaking success that will touch thousands of lives for the better - not just the nearly 5,000 individuals who surrendered, but the lives of their loved ones and fellow New Jerseyans," he said.

The event last week marked the fifth time the state has offered the program, with previous events having taken place in Camden, Newark, Somerset/New Brunswick and Atlantic City. The city of Newark had the second most successful program four years ago when 4,103 fugitives turned themselves in, officials said.

Nationally, Cleveland and Detroit are the only two cities who have had a higher turnout of fugitives than Jersey City, Hoffman said.

The event last week resolved an estimated total of 10,000 non-violent warrants and brought the total number of New Jersey fugitives who have turned themselves in to 17,863, he said.

The four-day program raked in $40,000 in municipal and Superior Court income thus far, with more than double that amount expected by the time overflow cases are resolved at the Jersey City Armory toward the end of this week, Hoffman said.

He estimated each fugitive who turned themselves in saved local governments $500 in police and jail costs, which would amount to savings totaling over $2.2 million.

According to a press release from the attorney general's office, only two participants were taken into custody. Sixty-three percent had traffic warrants, 33 percent had misdemeanor criminal warrants, 4 percent had child support, family court, or probation warrants and less than 1 percent had felony warrants.

When asked if plans were in the works to stop people from taking advantage of future fugitive surrender programs, Hoffman said "yes."

"If and when we were ever to do this again, we would take that into consideration," he said.

Hoffman said a fugitive safe surrender program will happen in New Jersey again but did not reveal a timetable.

"It'll be some time before we do this again," he said. "At some point in the future, it will happen again, but not in a couple of years."

Pretty misleading headline.

There is no secondary market for student debt.
