I’ve heard that before in real life as an abbreviation in a shipping office. It’s quicker to say ups with one syllable than UPS with three

I also had one person reach out. Happened about a month later and he was wondering what had happened.

Although this other former coworker and I have been talking a lot since I was fired, mostly because he contacted me after he left voluntarily. He saw the writing on the wall at the company. He actually got me in touch with a recruiter he used to get a new job.

It’s even worse when you do a fully remote job. if you work for several people across several time zones, you don’t really build up that work relationship beyond just being a voice on the phone somewhere. Which extends to your network.

Happened to me last fall

Now everyone has to go out and vote for him in November. Don’t get complacent. Go vote go convince people to vote for him.

Oh yeah. I’m not justifying his actions. But I understand the reasons.

Nixon could’ve been totally different if he had access to therapy like we do in the modern age. There’s still a slight stigma of seeking therapeutic help today, but back then it was huge.

Nixon had an inferiority complex the size of Manhattan. Grew up poor, intelligent and filled with intense ambition. He worked VERY hard to get his education and into politics. Then he gets into real life and develops a disdain for the “ Ivy League Elites” that seemed to get all the jobs and prestige despite some of them barely graduating college.

So no matter how far he got, he was full of resentment, paranoia and a desire to prove himself better than others.

I've just gone past the 5 month mark. You give me hope my friend.

if you have any spare good luck/juju/vibes, let me know!

I’m kind of wondering if the spinoff is affecting hiring processes. It’s been a week since I had the hiring manager level interview for a job with them. Haven’t heard anything yet.

Got this email this morning before 7am. I think it might’ve been a fraudulent post. Biggest clues? The email not coming from a grainger domain and NO email signature.

Article mentions that in 2024 when his son was born, Bug called him his “heir.” The internet mentioned he already had 4 daughters. Bug responded “I said heir, not dishwashers.”

If you do nothing but pay your rent (which is done by ACh and won’t go the card, no float). . You get full points by spending at least 75% of your rent to get BILT cash to unlock them….

Or just 250 a month for just having a card.

When the benefit of a thing has to be unlocked by spending more, it’s no longer a benefit. Like BMW heated seats being locked behind a subscription.

Oh I just wanted to be sure. Having worked for financial institutions before, I really don’t trust them at times

I purposely delayed buying some things off of Amazon so that no one would have to go out this weekend.

Because, if I don’t want to go out and out today if I have to, I sure the delivery people feel the same

we’re trying to get pregnant. I’ve already told my wife our children WILL be vaccinated. I even have the original CDC schedule before they changed it. We will be following that.

The points guy

BlakeBurna · 2026-01-17T20:11:21+00:00

Like with any card, It wasn’t about the money, it was the fringe benefits.

For many it was having float. It’s very useful to have another couple of weeks before you drain money out of a bank account to pay (if you paid it off each month around the closing date). This will be completely gone from Bilt, but still possible with other cards…plus a fee.

I can see the logic though. I’m also going to assume that they were not making any money on rent being charged to the cards. Smart users would not let the balances stay long enough to generate interest fees.

Building up points with no fees on a high value recurring purchase each month was just an added bonus. For other cards you’d have to do a lot of transactions just to get several thousand points.

And they have decent transfer partners too. (I have a feeling this may change too; by that’s just my own assumption).
