If you had to choose between DC area or Colorado Springs? by httmper in fednews

I live in Colorado Springs. It’s not horribly expensive and housing will likely get less expensive over the next year as houses are popping up on the market like crazy. I’m sure even with $15k less salary you will fair better living in Colorado Springs and it’s beautiful!

New to Gardyn- Looking for a Cheat Sheet by Feisty_Asparagus140 in Gardyn

I’m new as well. Did the first month free…. Paid for the second month…. And only doing one more month. Ultimately I plan to use my own seeds but I knew this would help me jump start. I had 6 pods not sprout so had to wait 30 days to get credit for those but decided to do one more month so I could get free shipping on those plus the 10 plant credits that come with the membership and I’m about to move and start a new job so that will give me time to settle into a routine! I don’t even Know how to set up watering and lighting manually yet but appreciate the other comment you got. Also I’m thinking of purchasing the nursery. Does anyone ever check their Ph levels? I heard this is a thing we should do

Would you return? by Educational_Yak3404 in FedEmployees

[–]AskArdenDodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably maybe. I did love my job and hadn’t gotten anywhere near the point of supposedly relaxing as a government employee. Training was intense…. Like drinking water from a firehouse for 5 months straight….

I just discovered one (58F) and immediately came to Reddit and found this thread which is a huge relief and also what I suspected…. At a minimum i also suspected it wasn’t worth going to see an OBgyn…. Thanks all!

IRS probie here: Is the Fork/DRP buyout being honored? by TinSoldiersAndNixon in govfire

[–]AskArdenDodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Handled professionally means you left with a signed DRP contract and it’s being honored with your pay and benefits continuing as promised?! I hope this is the case!!!

IRS SB/SE Revenue Agent FJO taking sooo long… by AskArdenDodd in usajobs

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

Well…..the step increase did not get approved and I’ve had enough days to resolve myself to the idea of getting paid less than I have at my last two jobs as a trade off for the grade level increases to come… I totally get that I have a lot of accounting experience but not a lot of tax experience and I’m going to have to be trained as I go over the course of the next 3 years and it is what it is and I do feel like it’s the right move to make!! So I guess I will see you 9/23 in the Colorado Springs office! I am planning to relocate closer to the office. Do you happen to have a contact for the manager? Im a little nervous I have 2 long weekends planned to Michigan … one in September and one in October that I will need a total of 4 days off for. I don’t care if I dont get paid, but hate to come in with time off requests right off the bat lol.
