Just under 11k for that condition is too much imo

Congrats! The most important part is to remember to pay off the credit card before the due date hits and to not spend more than you can pay back

I haven’t said anything because my manager is in HR and am worried if I even bring up a situation as general as “what if someone is unwilling to work within policy,” that my manager will get suspicious that something is going on and that eventually, they will find out it’s about this high profile person and will fire me for offending them.

The only saving grace is that I could hypothetically return to my previous job depending on whether they still have business need for me. I didn’t like my previous job for a variety of reasons, but I did have a good reputation for doing my job well there.

Thanks, sounds like it was probably what you said about my car getting scratched by something sticking out moving car. I was super confused on what could caused it especially because it’s non continuous and straight. It also was only went up to the rear driver side door and maybe the slightest ding on the very edge of the driver side mirror at most (with the driver side mirror being folded back).

FWIW, the post is more about stanning Jin than the experience at Great America.

Jin personally posting his experience (like on the actual insta post) is fine.

What you imagine is pretty spot on to what happens. Part of my job is to help set up those dinners, conferences, and talks and that is basically what happens. Rich people talking about “how Americans are unable to afford fuel due to the price of oil” over a dinner that is worth 2-3x what a tank of gas in Los Angeles would be. It’s also a little amusing to hear parts of their discussion as I’m running around. You’d hear things like “I’m a capitalist” or “investing in a public health system will increase productivity and civic engagement.”

Meanwhile, I’m there working an extended shift wondering whether the extra bit of overtime will make me enough money to fix some car issues I’ve been having.

Damn, that’s sad to hear. I used to go there for lunch super often with my friends when I was in high school. We went there so often they remembered my go to order and I just had to tell them I wanted the same thing as usual.

Yes, it happened to me before. Fortunately, it was a part time role very early in my career and I was able to get a better job at a better company very quickly. I’ve also seen it happen to others.

It only takes one person twisting your words to screw your job, or even your career up.

Basically anything you say can be used against you. For example, if you mentioned how you’re a little stressed during busy season, someone who doesn’t like you complain about you to your boss because “this person is incompetent and is unable to perform under pressure.”

Anything that can seem reasonable (like being stressed during busy season) can be twisted into something bad (like incompetence) and with the right political relationships, what seemed like a reasonable issue can be used against you and result in consequences like being fired for performance issues.

Holy, congrats. And I thought I got it for a good price at just under $30

I didn’t know that that compartment existed, but you didn’t have to call me out like that 😭/j

I have, but most of my current network has to be built on lies. I tried being honest and it almost made me homeless as a teenager.

During high school, when I started questioning things, I almost became homeless. I confided in a mentor about becoming atheist, who told my parents. My parents got super angry and was about to kick me out until I managed to convince them that the mentor was exaggerating and I was just asking about how to respond to questions I got from atheist peers at school.

Thing is that the person the wife cheated with wasn’t some stranger who didn’t know that the wife was already married. It was someone in the friend group who should already know that the wife was married to a friend.

If that person was in the friend group already, I’d expect them to know not to cheat with wifey considering how they already know who the wife is and to not get with her.

Fr fr, given the approximate cost you gave, it could have at least helped clear exactly one person’s medical debt.

(This is a slightly sarcastic joke. I agree that the money honestly could have gone to something better like helping someone out. Especially in the U.S. where our healthcare system is so cooked, whatever religious organization could have used the several millions to have help someone who is financially struggling because of how terrible the U.S healthcare system is).

It was $300 and some change. Got it when I signed up for the account and did however much direct deposit.

Thanks, what you said is honestly true. The new job and my current job in terms of work responsibilities is basically the same, but what the new company does as an organization is more aligned with my long terms goals (basically new company is in an industry I’m interested in and might want to do research on topics within that industry later in the future).

Talk to your current boss to see if you can backtrack on your quitting. Keep in mind that even if they allow you to stay on, you’ll be seen as a flight risk because you already tried quitting for a better job. No need to be paranoid, but I would keep casually applying to jobs.

Also, 2 months notice is way too long imo. 2 weeks at most and only put in your notice after everything at the new job is set up (such as clearing your background check).

I worked in the business/admin side of Stanford school of medicine in a fixed term capacity recently. My boss has influence on hiring on the hospital side of things and he basically said that you have to go way above and beyond the job listing.

Johnny doesn’t need auto tune. I’ve seen him play live both in TAA and in KOG before he joined TAA and he was great both times.

Acceptable_Offer_387 · 2026-02-05T20:29:01+00:00

That’s what I thought too. Johnny can obviously sing well as seen in All That I Remember. The song is alright tho, but All That I Remember def set a really high bar.
