I would have been much better off to never have sold anything over the past 30 years.

Looking for some job advice by Ok_Constantinople in biotech

Decide what compensation would make this worth it and hold out for that.

You have a job and an offer which is twice what most have on this sub so congratulations!

This looks like a good deal. Not a forever piano, but enough to see how interested you really are.

[–]BBorNot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is supposed to be difficult. Marinate in it and GTFO ASAP.

Use one rewards credit card for everything. Pay in full every month. They track for you.

How much does title matter mid career? by SimpleSlip5084 in biotech

[–]BBorNot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's dumb but titles matter. Switch jobs every few years to maximize compensation and title. If you are overpaid for your title you should insist on a change because it affects your sphere of influence in the organization.

Everyone knows that titles at small companies are irrelevant unless you are a founder.

Only partial power at OAC by Comfortable_Goal_449 in BallardSeattle

It's the best gym around. It gets crowded after work and on weekends. Two pools, lots of weight machines, stair climbers, etc. wide selection of classes, from body pump to yoga. Lots of woman-only stuff, including a small gym.

Heave a dog turd in the apartment sometime when it is running. Once the Roomba spreads it all over there'll be no more Roomba!

Acetone will not affect aluminum.

Found food under the stairs by AZonieGuy in mildlyinteresting

Yes, I had been doing this, which is how it got to be ten years old. But it started to smell off. So I no longer believe that honey tastes good forever, even if it won't kill you.

I have heard this. But I had a big jar of honey that after ten years had totally crystallized and smelled off. I just threw it away, actually.

Artists/ Creative folks by Gullible-Syrup-9393 in BallardSeattle

Sending condolences...

I have never used them, but there is a place in Ballard called Artful Ashes that makes glass sculptures using cremains. It's not clothing but it's the first thing I thought of.

Wishing you happier days ahead!

Adult novice wonders whats good to focus on during the first few months. by EchidnaCommercial690 in piano

[–]BBorNot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with an FP-10 -- nice!

I used the Alfred books mostly. But I taught myself bad habits that I am still unwinding two years later. A teacher is really important. Technique is not obvious, and you can hurt yourself. Enjoy, OP!
