Dominic_ Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Went to go order the Silent Alarm repress and didn't realize it was limited.

Arrive and spend ten grand in 48 hours. Congrats on the move! I wanted this place to be my forever home but this state is not for me; future neighbor. When I got the check from selling ye olde house I shat myself. "Were putting into savings". Na. We bought all new furniture and other silly shit. Not one record tho. Stupid me. I think our dog has a winter coat and a hoodie for spring.

Thomas³ Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The city decided to close a major intersection to work on the sewer project, so traffic driving into work was insane. I'm a huge ball of anxiety today from sitting in traffic. How's everyone's morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually got today off because I have to work another Saturday but about to go get a dope ass breakfast. Give me the works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are boring tunnels underneath the city to fix our shitty sewer system. Only costs $1.8 billion! Guess who gets to pay for it, since the last mayor turned down federal grants for it forever.... Nice, but boo on a Saturday. I do kinda like having a random day off during the week sometimes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have the mentality of "oh it will be nice to be off during the week" but when Saturday morning hits I'm always like "fuck this Saturday shit" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, waking up early to go to work on a day that you're normally off is not fun. Edited February 8, 2017 by Thomas³ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Ugh, my stomach feels terrible all of a sudden. Probably because my anxiety calmed down. Stupid anxiety. Need to met with the guy I had an interview with 2 weeks ago on my lunch break, so hopefully it clears up. Edit: Chewable Pepto is the worst. It makes me nauseous every time I take it, but it's so much more convenient for work then the liquid.

Last year I was pushing for Colorado but a few things fell apart. My bro is up in Seattle and offered to take me on until we got settled. It all depends on if things I'm working on closing meet most of the criteria for uprooting. tarzioo_, radiatorhums and Thomas³ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Guess my stomach issue was not anxiety, it's all messed up now. Ate something bad I think. Suffered through 5 hours of work, with too many bathroom breaks so left. I'm sure they love me, but I'm not use running to the bathroom every so often. Time to do more fun job hunting.

Thomas³ Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Morning everyone. Sick again, but suffering through work... which is always fun. I'm sure the 60 degrees 2 days ago, and 20 degrees today did not help. Got another call from a contractor about a job not even a mile from my house. Pay is good, but it's pure contract, so no PTO or sick time, just unpaid days if I take any off (I can get benefits through the contracting agency if I want). 6 month to a year contract, so might be a good way to save money before I make any decisions about moving. More inline with what I want to do too. Going to attempt to replace my front sway bar links this weekend. Looks simple enough. Never done it though. Edit: Ghost, surviving the snow storm?

Better than no shot That's a pretty common thing that Amazon does here. Hires you for a X month contract and then hires you on as an employee if you do a good job or whatever. Guessing a lot of companies do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably easier then recruiting themselves, and messing with all the initial hiring process. I guess it depends on the contract/contractors though.

radiatorhums Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Tried to head to the office during a break in the rain. Got about 5 minutes from my house and was hit by a huge downpour, soaked me completely... Went right back home, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
