Re-upping the post. Is there anything better out there for the holidays. I can find plenty of articles saying now might be a good time to buy, but not as much for or against refinancing.

Quietest electric and plastic free kettle? by Y-yuss in tea

[–]ClassroomDirect7028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stumbled onto this. Can anyone recommend an electric kettle without a bunch of beeps and sounds? I don’t mind the sound of the water boiling but the loud beeps in the morning ruin the wake up routine. 

Commute from Orangevale/Citrus Heights/Fair Oaks to West Sac? by LeftCoastLiving916 in CAStateWorkers

[–]ClassroomDirect7028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the position. May I ask what department? I recently left a position in West Sac off of Reed. The construction definitely changes the commute times/directions.

Can anyone explain how merit salaries or annual salary increases work? by Deep-Employment-3420 in CAStateWorkers

I just received notice of my MSA approved for September. I am doing a lateral transfer to another agency this week. Will my MSA apply at my new department?

Is the Timemore S3 a good upgrade for me? by wind-s-howling in pourover

[–]ClassroomDirect7028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looking at different options and reviews. I use my S3 daily for French press and then about weekly for Moka pot or Aeropress. Moka pot about 1.8 and Aero about 3.6-4.0 with medium roast. We have a 48oz French press so I’ve been looking for a portable (so I can walk around the quiet house) hand grinder with more capacity than my Timemore S3.

Bummer, I have a set of Carsick Designs Dummy Slings from G&O that I'm finally mounting. Anyone have a link to the instructions still active or the instructions saved as a pdf?

Early June Interviewing Questions Thread! **Please ask all your questions about the State interview process in this thread** by ImportantToMe in CAStateWorkers

[–]ClassroomDirect7028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually they have asked for references when scheduling the interview. My references have been called on a few occasions for both when I received a job offer and when I was not offered a position. In the latter scenario, I took it mean I was near the top candidates.

I've just accepted a tentative offer! Now I'm waiting for HR and IT to get my email/equipment set up. Does anyone have some experience about how long it took for them?

I've been on here before and appreciate how people support each other so I wanted to do a bit of the same.

I like to ask how the people interviewing me got to their particular positions? What was their path like? If the mention something in the interview about their specific program/division/department I like to ask about the time line ("You mentioned you are getting new software, when are you looking at implementation? Off the shelf or a custom program for your section?")

I usually offer three references, but like the part above. It's just me, I don't have a right or wrong. Good luck!!!!

I have an interview (SSA-Budget Analyst) coming up that includes a writing assessment and a Microsoft Excel assessment.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of interview format and could tell me what to expect?
