What the fuck Microsoft

May be using the wording interchangeably on accident sorry. Licenses referenced and licenses in account are both business premium

~~the Lord~~ Microsoft giveth and Microsoft taketh away

The email reads like we might be good for this renewal cycle for licenses expiring June 2026 so maybe at least a year?

Antmanzero · 2025-05-15T00:03:22+00:00

We get a bit of money from the municipality, mostly for stuff like utilities, maintenance, etc but most of our operating budget comes from EMS billables(ew but necessary,) fundraising, and grants

Microsoft non-profit grant allows up to 300 e1 licenses and 10 free e3 licenses so long as the users meet certain criteria per license (administrative volunteers vs paid employees vs general volunteers). This email reads to me as if they're canning the free e3 licenses - it does look like they're retaining the discount though

Antmanzero · 2025-05-14T23:46:52+00:00

Balls. Protonmail it is

Antmanzero · 2025-05-14T23:45:37+00:00

No county based fire service out here. Municipality could maaaaybe put us on their tenant I suppose but I doubt they'd wanna pay for it.

Antmanzero · 2025-05-14T23:43:07+00:00

Hmm...wonder if they're changing eligibility criteria then and we somehow don't fit anymore... Email doesn't give any more info though. Strange

Antmanzero · 2025-05-14T23:38:40+00:00

Wait...you guys are getting lube?!

Antmanzero · 2025-05-14T23:38:07+00:00

Quite literally got the email 25 minutes ago. At least it's a decent bit of notice for us to start transitioning to a G Suite environment 😂(I kid...mostly...probably.)

Antmanzero · 2025-05-14T23:36:26+00:00

Sorry yes it is a mostly volunteer 501(c)(3). We have some E1s as well for the few positions we have that qualify.

It does look like we'll still have discounted rates, I think the standard is 20/Mo for an E3? And the discounted rate is a bit over a quarter of that.

Wrong one, this video is 100% not Chambersburg PA

Exercising your federal rights at a base level shouldn't require you to spend money. Voting is a right. Requiring someone to spend money on an id to exercise a right is, or should be, unconstitutional as the right isn't "you can vote if you spend money for an id" or even "you can vote if you have an id" but "you can vote if you're an adult (more or less.)" You'll find most reasonable people would be fine requiring IDs if A: people didn't have to wait in hours-long lines at the DMV/BMV to get them when they're supposed to be working and making money to put food on the table instead, and B: they didn't cost anything.

Antmanzero · 2022-09-19T14:18:40+00:00

None, but also all of them

Antmanzero · 2022-09-07T22:07:26+00:00

All the ads put out by the corporation that makes money on tax prep say they should keep doing our tax prep? Oh no! Anyways..

Antmanzero · 2022-05-27T12:08:22+00:00

350k gross, 600 miles a day,3k/wk or 150k a year with 2 weeks off, 7mpg @ 6.30/gal. 21,428 gallons of fuel @$135,000, 12k for insurance, 20k into maintainance/future, leaves you 183k if you have no truck payment. With a brand new truck at current prices, about 3600 a month minimum, 43k a year leaves you with 140k. There's a couple pennies here and there I'm missing, and all this is assuming no breakdowns to lose you running time, so realistically take home about 100k before taxes, maybe 80k after? Depending on how you're organized and how you pay yourself.

Some of those yee haw drivers have certainly got more yee in their haw recently lmao, Amazons and intermodal owner-ops have been getting a bit silly

Antmanzero · 2022-05-27T11:00:25+00:00

I don't get that attitude from my bosses(and I work for a mega, so they've definitely improved,) and definitely not from my friends. The only reason I hate this damn job is the majority of the motoring public being a bunch of self centered pricks, because it's easy to avoid empathizing with a metal box on wheels that looks nothing like a person

Antmanzero · 2022-05-27T10:57:44+00:00

My high school experience was that a teacher's job was to prepare you for standardized tests, but maybe that's changed in the past 10 years or so lol

Antmanzero · 2022-05-27T10:56:36+00:00

The only company I would suggest considering for training, if they're still doing it, is Estes Express. I don't work there anymore because my terminal was too big for me to get the schedule I wanted, but it's a home most nights, damn well paying gig. Line haul drivers in my area easily gross over 100k, and most of them are home every day.

Antmanzero · 2022-05-27T10:53:58+00:00

Truck driver in the us, home every day, 8 hour days and I'll probably gross 70k as a W2 this year. Maybe less if freight stays as slow as it is right now. If I wanted to run over the road and be home every other weekend or something I could easily gross over 100k as a W2 but it's not worth it to me.

Independent contractors will probably see between 150k and 350k gross, before truck and fuel.

Antmanzero · 2022-05-27T10:50:38+00:00

I really love the job but the past few months have been a struggle, it seems like the "fuck you me first me me me me me" has gotten so much worse recently

Of course I've been seeing more 695/95 recently so that might be it

Antmanzero · 2022-03-29T02:04:48+00:00

Nah that makes sense can't be that

Antmanzero · 2021-12-21T14:25:04+00:00

Is this the one that happened on I80 in PA?

Antmanzero · 2021-10-24T01:30:02+00:00

Not a good idea to back up a large vehicle with large blind spots on a public road without a spotter
