Sparty 110 Posted July 20, 2016 Won't get to know until either Friday or Wednesday I'm assuming. Both positions haven't been filled yet so they're probably still making a decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparty 110 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) I didn't get either job, which makes me a sad cunt, but the supervisor told me he's gonna try to get me a raise anyway, so there's that. The job I applied for I had experience at (quality tech), but my fucking competition had a fucking engineering degree. Yeah, you read that right. A FUCKING ENGINEERING DEGREE. And still works here, lol. I know I had no shot at lead, but I just wanted to throw my name out there. Edited July 22, 2016 by Sparty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engineering degree people typically find jobs fast I know that, but she should be working somewhere else with THAT degree. The pay isn't much more (talking like 12 or 13 dollars an hour).

Thanatos 2,847 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I finally found a health insurance provider that I could afford. $32.50/mo after the tax credit, $650 max out of pocket spent on medicine and drugs per year, and $300 max on emergency room visits with zero co-pay as long as you go in network. I haven't been to a doctor in three years, I think its time for a checkup, lol. People can say what they like about the ACA and it certainly has its issues, but without it, I wouldn't be able to afford the $200+/mo for actual decent health insurance. Oh and it also has dental with virtually the same conditions. Edited July 23, 2016 by Thanatos 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CampinWithaMissingPerson 2,025 Posted July 23, 2016 God damn that's why better than what I got under the ACA. I'm a 62ish a month, 2.3k out of pocket max (already met it within 3 months), yep blew through that much money out of my savings because of my mental breakdown I'm thinking of having my right hand rebroken and set right after I broke it on some dudes face years back but didn't have health insurance so just let it heal as is and it aches in cold weather/rain sometimes and there's this huge calcification knot where it healed on it's own, makes my hand feel a lot less stable. Might as well, already met out of pocket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the thing man. When our economy is mostly service based now, people with these types of degrees gotta fight for a limited amount of jobs and the losers are left out here with the rest of us.

Bay 2,003 Posted August 24, 2016 Black Sabbath concert was great. The opening band Rival Sons was a good modern hard rock band who were entertaining enough. Once Sabbath came out, the crowd went wild as expected. Man, they still have it. Even at their age they kick the shit out of almost any other metal band going. The setlist was phenomenal. All in all a killer performance. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted September 19, 2016 My fiancee passed the Florida bar exam! So, about 3-6 months until she gets a job as a lawyer, which means about 2-4 years before I retire and become a stay-at-home dad. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Socal 524 Posted October 20, 2016 During the years I spent working with college athletes I particularly enjoyed helping injured athletes get back in the game. This led me to decide to pursue a career in physical therapy and im fortunate to have landed a volunteer position with a sports physical therapy facility. Just the beginning but hopefully it leads to more opportunities down the road. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
