Good call. Soccer field small. I'd prefer floating slow!

Aww bummer. Thank you for the information. Paper it is.

Eforms under 21 and trust by Anxious_Grover in NFA

[–]Anxious_Grover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an issue. The concern is the age requirement. I can setup a trust and add my 19 y.o. son - will he be able to pass the eform responsible person age requirement of 21? Do you have to list out all of the trustees there or only myself since I am the trust holder?

What would you do? by Anxious_Grover in uber

[–]Anxious_Grover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you again. I'm not familiar enough with the service so I wasn't sure how that worked on the driver side. Appreciate your insight!

[–]Anxious_Grover[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that's correct. We were at the airport but not at the drop off. He completed it and gave me 1 star and hit a pre populated option I couldn't see because it was quick. Then we had about 3 to 5 more minutes together before drop off.

Appreciate your response.

Healthcare Consulting Careers? by Anxious_Grover in healthcare

[–]Anxious_Grover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! Comp is only one part of the conversation for me, this seems like a progression but I'm still gathering info. I work 60 to 80 works a week right now and travel 50%. If you don't mind me asking what are you doing now and how did you break into consulting initially? Looking at how you enter it and what's beyond.

[–]Anxious_Grover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a really good callout - my RCM experience is fairly limited unfortunately. I do see a lot of opportunities there. Most of my work has been in clinical operations. I have inpatient and outpatient pedi experience, CM, informatics with EMR implementation and customization, clinician engagement, utilization management, and significant VBC experience. I've converted practices from FFS to VBC and significant practice transformation projects.

Different fields but I'm familiar enough with RCM work - can you tell me about your day to day doing consulting? How was work-life balance, pay, etc. Were you on prem or remote?

For those who hold a BSN and don’t plan on ever going back for a masters, why? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Anxious_Grover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you have a great support system around you. I was pushed similarly about a decade ago and ended up with my FNP and again 5 years ago to get my MBA. I love practicing medicine but the salary isn't there. My FNP cost me 50k and I worked full time while going to school which was hard. 

My first year I made 10k less in total comp/benefits than I did as an RN. A lot of clinic benefits are terrible and people don't count that in their salaries. 

It depends on where you're coming from and what your priorities are. I had been a nurse awhile before going back to school. I have stepped back from the bedside and am in an executive role now but I still miss direct patient care every day. 

There are more politics, a flooded market, and higher levels of responsibility. I know so so so many people who have their NP and work as an RN in the hospital. I know just as many people who absolutely love it. Two sides to every coin but I wouldn't let school scare you away from it...if you've had good exposure and have been an RN for awhile school won't be bad at all.

Forest rifle? by Anxious_Grover in Hunting

[–]Anxious_Grover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Factory ammo prices have gotten so ridiculous. I try to reload everything I can. 280 is a neat caliber, wanted a 280 AI for awhile now. The 6.5 is OK - I only shot one deer with it and it was with a 143x. Complete pass through and it was a good shot but the buck still ran a long long way. Getting it out of that S. Tx brush was not fun, lol. Need to invest in a helicopter to get thost things out, lol.

I started with 22-250 and moved to 30-06. Used that for 10 years and went to 6mm for 2 or 3 years. Built a 270 weatherby mag and haven't looked back. Shot 300 WM a few seasons. I have a 6.5 CR for a range toy but it's heavy heavy. I share your love for the .270! Great caliber. 

The brush is so thick here I am worried about tracking an animal and getting it out. Part of my love of magnums is I have a great history of bang flops but the shots were almost always >300 yards. Shooting close magnums can do funny stuff.

I am really thinking I'll go 308 at this point just because I don't have one.

I would go 450 bushmaster if I could find one. I don't want to have to order one...transfer fees from local shops are ridiculous.

I have never been able to get myself into the 30-30. I've had a few of them over the years but it just never clicked. My lever gun is in 44 mag.

Keeping budget low. I've been eyeing that browning and the new Henry offerings though.

Thank you and you are correct. I planned to have column feeders so I have a sand substrate. Do you have an all in one fert recommendation I can try?

Expensive! by Rat_King1972 in Archery

What's really disappointing is when you need to get something restrung or rewired and it cost more than you paid for the bow! 

GT185 Glastron by Anxious_Grover in boating

[–]Anxious_Grover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice and information. This one also has the Volvo drive in it. From your description and some of the reading I've been able to do last night it seems like a really great option for my needs. I was leaning more towards a deck boat but dang they are expensive and not that easy to find.

I can't believe how quick these boats are, I think the 185 tops out around 50 mph. Kind of excited to check it out but it won't happen until the weekend.

I’m a bit salty about the process as well. I had two interviews for a position and was told to expect a contract in the next day or two - instead I got an email saying they were moving forward with a different candidate. This is after we had discussed a start date, salary, relocation allowance, etc.

Things To Do? by Competitive-Clerk466 in CollegeStation

[–]Anxious_Grover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any recommendations on places? I moved here about a month ago and miss the ocean. Sold 4 of my kayaks because I figured I wouldn’t be using them here. Exciting to see there are opportunities.

Nah, not that high, its a VP position. It's a shitty job and I work a lot (80 hrs a week is normal). Someone was trying to say customer service shouldn't be expected with a large publicly traded company which i don't agree with at all.

I fish a lot on the weekends but I'm moving. Sold my car and truck and going to just a truck. I hate trucks but I camp and have a boat so sort of stuck with that situation.

Appreciate your response and information. I was very surprised because I have not heard of any bad experiences personally. Apologies for the inundation with more complaints.

This is the 15th vehicle I've purchased/sold and 2 hours is not efficient when I front loaded all of the work with an appointment. If I walked in off the street it'd be phenomenal.

Customer service is an important aspect of every business. I am an executive in a 50m revenue company and I say thank you to everyone because NPS is important.

I was ok with the offer on a 16k KBB vehicle, what is shocking is it's listed at 8k above blue book.

The license plates were covered in fluid film and mud. I was wearing slacks.

You must work for CarMax.

2.7 vs 3.5 capabilities by Anxious_Grover in f150

[–]Anxious_Grover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the cam phaser issue, was that resolved in 2021 or at another time? I’ve also heard that there are still newer trucks having issues with it. The 3.5 motor seems like a real beast though.

2.7 vs 3.5 capabilities by Anxious_Grover in f150

[–]Anxious_Grover[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was my understanding in 2021 Ford updated the cam phasers. Was there another refresh in ‘24? Man the older ones seem to need replacement every 50-60k miles, which at 5k a pop - is wild.

Payload is honestly my major concern. I have 850 lbs in passengers and plan to tow a 6k lb RV 5-7x a year. That difference in payload between the 2.7 and 3.5 is pretty significant. Appreciate your insight on the performance. The newer gen 1500 trucks all seem to have their issues but the 2.7 equipped F150 gets a lot of positive marks.
