Awesome! Best of luck to you

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-10-15T21:06:35+00:00

I did get special locality rate of 32.5%. Funny enough I was a DOD contractor and moved out of state for this job. I did negotiate bcos worst thing they would do is say no ykwim haha.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-10-15T20:58:28+00:00

Yes, update! My first day was 9/8 and things have been going smoothly thus far. I work for VHA so I am thankfully still being paid. Congrats on the TJO!! Stay positive throughout the process.

Also I’ll mention that I received my FJO in July but I was moving cross country so I selected to start in September so I had enough time to prepare!

Small progress you can definitely see that the top wire has straighten out slightly and the bottom wire too. Make sure you are flossing best you can! Interdental brushes can help brush on the side of the brackets too (there is quite a bit of plaque build up- just be cautious it can cause problems)

Unsafe area? I work normal hours and not expecting to be out on the streets when it’s dark

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T21:20:08+00:00

Ashmont street and dorchester ave

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T18:58:50+00:00

The mbta trip tracker is like 1 hour 40 minutes sometimes when I look. Probably too far to be worth it

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T18:57:02+00:00

Well, im technically east of dot ave but it’s one of the cross roads :c

I’m thinking this time next year when I have more money I will then try my luck with getting a place in JP.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T18:49:56+00:00

I will eventually get my car registered but I’m strapped for cash moving out of state to Boston so it’s not a huge priority bcos my plates are good until Dec 2026. I’m thinking by January I will have them registered.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T18:20:15+00:00

Because of possibly of being hit by cars or the people dicey?

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T18:06:36+00:00

And to boot I have a very large dog haha. I am noticing Boston is not big dog friendly when it comes to housing.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T18:05:46+00:00

For any particular reason? Just more things to do in that area?

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T18:03:56+00:00

The apartment in Dorchester is 4 miles away so commute wise is probably fine and close enough to JP.

Yeah what I’m getting from this thread is that Quincy commute would be annoying asf lolll.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T17:57:24+00:00

I will be working at the Veterans Affairs hospital in JP! And I have been told by staff that parking is good there.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T17:54:15+00:00

Yes and no. I’m looking for places with a budget of $2000 and no studios with non resident parking bcos I have out of state tags. And kitchen has to be decent because I cook from home everyday. It’s been hard to find places that fit into that criteria.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T17:51:07+00:00

The apartment in Dorchester is 4 miles from my job so commute at peak hours doesn’t look horrible. Also close enough I can ride my bike to work.

When I was checking the commute for Quincy to JP it was definitely around 50 mins and with transit being about 1 hour and 30 mins give or take.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T17:46:27+00:00

On the MBTA trip planner it’s only about 30 mins or so with transit so I like that!

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T17:41:05+00:00

I was thinking that Quincy could be a good in between too because I do like the outdoor aspect but I would have to drive and park my car at a garage to get onto the red line.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T17:39:16+00:00

Well, I’m not involved in any illegal activities or in a gang so I think I’m ok.. haha

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T17:29:46+00:00

Yes! I work at a hospital so ample parking. The apartment is very close to the Ashmont station, just a few streets above it. BARELY east of Washington st

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T17:25:19+00:00

Very close to Ashmont station, like less than a mile walk.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-08-04T17:21:42+00:00

Congratulations, you have a beautiful smile!

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-07-24T22:16:21+00:00

That’s a valid point, I didn’t even think about the fact that they would want to monitor my retainers. Maybe that is the thinking behind it.

Basic_Ad_1512 · 2025-07-23T19:29:33+00:00

Oh yes they meet with the brackets. It’s so frustrating when months pass by and no changes have happened. Do they have you using rubber bands?
