Trouble Maker

Seriously, just call into the Auditors office. They are amazing there. I called about applying for Owner Occupied reduction, the woman I talked to filled out the paperwork for me and got it in on time for a 'special hearing' they do once a month since we just bought the place. I was also calling about adjusting the valuation since we bought our place, and it was appraised at, about $20k less than what's on their website. She did all of that for me too, just had to email her my appraisal. I haven't heard anything back yet though, it sounds like that may take a while. Will probably give it a few months and email or call her back.

I really want to take some classes there at some point, really anything, not just welding. I saw a lock picking class there once, that would be a lot of fun. Let me know if you are planning to do any classes, I may tag along.

We did a 4 night trip and did half at Niagara and half at Niagara on the lake. We rented a tandem bike and went to 10 or so different wineries. Went drove to a few of our favorites the next day and bought a case of wine. That's where I first learned about the Kir (cocktail), but the guy made it with straight cassis wine (not liqueur) and champagne. They taste absolutely amazing. That was the most fun part of the trip. I highly recommend to go up there if you have time.

+1/2 to Shims at High and Oakland park in Clintonville so far, they will get a full +1 upon seeing the finished product. I called Men's warehouse, Stitch Witch and Cindy's; and they were all 1 week to 10 days out. It's completely understandable if they can't get me in; it's my fault for needing a 3 day turn around. But Shims could do it quickly, for an up-charge of course, which is fine.

Because of it being an MS product or another reason?

Preferable the NW side of town, but anywhere is fine. Need a pair of dress pants hemed/taken in at the waist a little, and possible a jackets sleves shortened just a bit. I need to go in tonight after work and have them ready for Friday, so I don't need somewhere that's the best in town but will take 2 weeks.

Also in for light comparo. Claimed lumens mean shit really, so interested to see how my bike light compares. http://www.magicshine.hk/ShowProduct.aspx?id=38

I'd love to see these places, and I'm free most weekday evenings or I think any weekend past October 20th.

Great info Rich, I actually had to deal with this in my very first pre-screen HR phone interview. HR: What do you make now? Me: $xxk/year HR: What is the minimum you would need to make? Me: Kind of BS answer about it being negotiable and it's about the whole package and not just what I make. HR: What's the minimum you would need to make? :fuuuu::fuuuu::fuuuu: I really wanted to say 'I just told you what I make and you know this is low for my industry, experience and skillet so I know you should/better offer me more than what I make right now... if it even comes to that point'. I told them something around what I make now. Really I would like to make more but don't need to, and it really is about more than just pay. I assume at this point it was really just a question to throw me off, see how I could respond/communicate. There are so many more steps between now and an offer it's a pointless question at this time. I applied for 2 jobs so far. Job 1 I have a face to face interview next Friday. Job 2 I have a second phone interview with the hiring manager next Monday evening. This was the job with the HR pre-screen phone interview from above. :fuckyeah:

Well, I'm guessing the moderator is a woman... I'm not 100% sure, it's just my best guess. She's probably just mad they are trying to take away her right to an abortion that she will never get a chance to use anyways.

I really hope we have better options than those two by the time 2016 rolls around.

You didn't connect one of the connectors and it doesn't work...

I remember when they started this, and me and some friends went to IIRC the first game of the season. I think at the time they did 'require' student IDs and they had to match the person. Most of the gate attendants weren't checking, or weren't checking closely. We went into separate lines to be less obvious. One of my friends for some reason went to the oldest gate attendant, was questioned about an ID and the guy tried to confiscate his ticket for not having a Buckeye ID. He snatched it back out of the guys hand and ran away to another gate. :lolguy:

The statement said something about wind gust which I'm sure that little widget wouldn't pick up.

WTF, current wind speed is 0.8mph. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-85RtTyUMogE/ThnFHgPjx4I/AAAAAAAAAu8/Xc5_Z08suSg/s1600/8156.rage_face.jpg I sure hope it was something going on up at higher elevations and not at ground level.

I'm pretty sure my friends had almost the exact same thing happen to them.

My degree is in electrical engineering, and I've always been in and am targeting to remain in the engineering field. Phone interview tomorrow is for a design position for UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems.

Not only did I get my first phone interview for tomorrow morning, but I thought this would be a good thread for others in here. What are you general tips, tricks, or suggestions for interviews?

Vested at 5 years, 2.5 more, then retirement? :megusta:

I know you've been waiting on this, from a big picture standpoint. Congrats! :fuckyeah: How long have you been with them?

Applied to 2 jobs tonight, both through networking!
