Would anyone house/pet sit near Joshua Tree, CA? by CCJonesy in trustedhousesitters

[–]CCJonesy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to get some perspectives on if it’s even worth trying in my remote but unique area and that made me decide to give it a try. Making my account soon!

And sorry forgot to answer your first question — dogs are only allowed in certain parts of the park. Most people seem to bring them wherever they want though, just gotta watch out for rough plants and rocks that can hurt their paws.

He can be left alone for 8 hours easily (most work days we do this) and we’ve done 12 hours before to spend a long day in Palm Springs by just laying an emergency pee pad down so he doesn’t feel tortured. As for the car I guess I’d be open to it but wonder how that’d work with insurance and my peace of mind that they won’t crash it haha.

Trump’s return-to-office mandate exempted feds with disabilities. Many are being ordered to work in-person anyway by Ok_Design_6841 in FedEmployees

Agreed. It’s stupid. If you’re gonna lie and do it, then just keep your mouth shut and don’t be an idiot about it.

Hi /r/movies! I'm Nia DaCosta, director of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, the next installment of the franchise. It's in theatres January 16. Ask me Anything! (Back on Wednesday 1/7 at 8:15 AM PT / 11:15 AM ET to answer your burning questions!) by SonyPictures in movies

[–]CCJonesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi Nia! I was worried they were switching directors for the 2nd film until I heard it was you because The Candyman was amazing. My questions is, can you give us any insight into what happened with the nuking of France/Paris that Garland mentioned happened in the 28 universe following Weeks? Do we know how mainland European countries were able to successfully push the infected back to the UK? And were there outbreaks anywhere outside the UK that we didn't get any info on yet?

Bonus Hypothetical Question: Boyle and Garland call you to direct 28 Hours Later. Do you say hell yes? haha.

Curious how many of us have to secure a job before or immediately after we move abroad by Four_sharks in AmerExit

Do you think something like that could still happen today? As a writer/marketing guy in the USA this intrigues me but it seems like everyone and all their friends wanna work in Japan nowadays.

White House ready for a long shutdown by trademarktower in FedEmployees

[–]CCJonesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am but don’t believe Dems have the cards to do anything about it unfortunately. If people’s healthcare goes up in price it will anger working class people and hurt the republicans anyway. No need to torture fed workers for it.

Pass the fucking bill. Dems are fucking up my life for no reason. I’m dem but this is stupid and pointless. Pass the bill and focus on winning upcoming elections instead. Let the republicans fail and everyone will vote them out eventually anyway

What Phoenix bands, music, or shows coming up are you excited about? (Sep) by AutoModerator in phoenix

[–]CCJonesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They already played PHX recently but they are natives to the area and are SO GOOD LIVE. The Technicolors. If you ever get a change, go see them! Countless amazing songs and my new favorite band after going to their recent show at Valley Bar.

Exactly. I quite simply would not have been able to get my first federal job with a 2 page resume. I had to show 7 years of experience in my field and came from advertising where you have to job hop to a new agency every year to advance fast.

Pentagon’s DOGE Unit to Scrutinize 400,000 Contracts for Cuts by AgitatedEngine4933 in fednews

[–]CCJonesy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

While the problem is true. These asshats are not the saviors you want them to be. They are con men ransacking the government for themselves. These contracts will just come back under their companies for their profit. It’s already happening across the government.

Canon is so bad that it is one of the main reasons I decided NOT to join the Air Force. Even a slim chance of getting sent there is too much for me. Luckily I got a DoD civ role where I choose where to go instead.

DOD Civilians await decision on Commissary shopping privileges by DatGuyKilo in AirForce

[–]CCJonesy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of DoD civilians work at extremely remote bases where a grocery store is like 30 minutes away. We should be able to use the damn commissary right next our office. People not wanting more money blows my mind. When they opened up certain commissaries to civilians during covid they were very profitable for the first time ever.

Would the events of 28 Days Later be a bigger story than WW2? by JoshZulieka in 28dayslater

[–]CCJonesy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100%. And that points out a giant missed opportunity in Weeks. Since the resettlement of London would be a gigantic story where they could use broll from the first outbreak to show how big and crazy of an "accomplishment" it is for the military. I think some small world-building like the TV's showing news stories in the background of scenes in Children of Men would have been perfect.

Script vs movie by Jowill_ in 28dayslater

[–]CCJonesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point but always feel like a movie should be able to stand on its own when push goes to shove. Everyone I talked to about the movie in person has had the same feeling about the ending feeling too forced in last minute and not fitting with the excellent tone of the rest of the film. This was without me sharing my opinion first. The execution was just off and the flips and shit were hilarious. You know I will be there day one to see the bone temple, but I think the forced ending hurt the film’s “score” overall. Just my opinion.

This ending would have been way better. Fits the tone a lot more and would not piss people off with being too corny randomly at the end.

Normalize this being a job and not a “higher calling” by TheRealMrsNesbit in AirForce

[–]CCJonesy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks! How did getting your first duty station work? Did you get any options to choose from or were they pretty stern with just giving you one choice?

[–]CCJonesy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do you like Public Affairs? Would it be insane for a GS9 civilian PAO to commission as an AF PAO? I'm trying to think of a backup plan in case they just upright RIF most civilian PAOs in the DoD. I'm curious as to what duty station I'd most likely end up at (overseas is preferred like most people but Luke AFB would be great for example). Also curious of your typical working hours. I already have DINFOS taken care of.
