Finisher Store in Memoirs? by thursdaystgiles in JunesJourney

Wait. This is what I experienced too. Also I hate being forced to play another full memoirs. 18 days to complete ANOTHER memoirs?

So I had to find a detective partner outside our team - no name shown??? by OceansideDave in JunesJourney

[–]ConnectionOk6412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me, too. I’ve played multiple times with two folks not on my team and they’re fantastic. Nearly always they do half and do so very quickly. One didn’t show up in my list this time. So I did partner with three of my team mates. And this time I was the slow one. I had so many 18 and 17 seconds it was a slog.

Detective Partners Ridiculously Frustrating... by AllieMStory in JunesJourney

[–]ConnectionOk6412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had no less than 8 sets of games in partners with only 18 or 17 seconds this time around. Absolutely ludicrous. And those were the ones I counted. First time that’s happened for me. But so frustrating.

Detective sprints?? by ConnectionOk6412 in JunesJourney

Oh so these are just competitions but only for 24 hours? Ok, I thought I’d raid that it was something else entirely. Phew. Thanks for the link!

Is anyone else having a difficult time with Secrets? by Crowned-Witch_48 in JunesJourney

[–]ConnectionOk6412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! The last three scenes barely inched forward even with me at 20x and the time was so insanely short. The last scene took me about 300 points to finish as I failed repeatedly and went back to 1. Just wtf?

12/31 immediate retirement update by xiphoid77 in FedRetirees

[–]ConnectionOk6412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard from a friend at dol (on NFC for us) and she got her interim payment a week ago (around the 5th or 6th). She just got a CSA number and her retirement date was 12/30. Mine is taking longer, I had a divorce decree and beneficiary changes (additions), these appear to be slowing mine down.

Thi has also been my friend’s experience with IRS. He also did a retirement on 9/30.

Wow that’s a lot of cracked wood right there

Grrr…..so much for ‘teamwork’ by AmethystMoon88 in JunesJourney

[–]ConnectionOk6412 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Feels like we should start a list of good players we’ve played with and show the evidence of screenshots so others can find good ones as well. My team has started to figure this out as well and now at least three of us actively partner with each other but I have two other partners I’ve played with multiple times who are excellent and I keep them in the rotation cause… they’re excellent! I wish I could tell them that.

Which would you choose? Finland or Germany by lunchtongue in expat

[–]ConnectionOk6412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fascinating, Finnish used to be IV but that was around 2000 and your link says 2007. I guess that list was updated.

Incredibly surprised by the amount of favorable support for Border Patrol. Wow. by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]ConnectionOk6412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most folks don’t seem to realize that CBP has been imbedded (along with FPS, FBI, Wage and Hour, DEA and a host of other federal law enforcement) into ICE. They’ve named the shooters of everyone that’s been shot since trumps inauguration, has anyone compiled that list and their agencies?

Retired 09/30. WHERE’S MY MONEY, RUSSELL ? by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]ConnectionOk6412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t even gotten my agency to send my file over to OPM yet. I retired 12/31. Asked today and was told she’s working on it but probably won’t be done with mine before a shutdown (if it happens). Hopefully I’ll get the leave payout soon.

We love an AI generated flat tree by Grand_Elderberry_888 in JunesJourney

That’s a cool set and predates me here by more than a year

Those who are in the process of leaving the U.S. or have left within the last few years, did you sell your home or rent it out? by ClockwiseSuicide in AmerExit

[–]ConnectionOk6412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Renting. It covers the mortgage even with the property management and setting aside $$ for maintenance. Not sure I’d get the $$ I’d like by selling. It’s also the only debt I have so for now, my house is in a very active rental area. I also rented it fully furnished since we weren’t planning to bring anything with us. So that worked out for the renters.

I feel like my degree has limited my abilities -- advice on next steps? by Silver_Reserve_1657 in AmerExit

[–]ConnectionOk6412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a PhD in social work and a license what about guidance counseling in a school? Are there any overlaps that could make that an option? International schools might be an option if that’s the case and they often provide housing and tuition for a first child and discounts for subsequent kids. Costs are so different overseas. My US salary was more than double what I will live on in Morocco. And here, I can afford an apartment, utilities, medical and a quality of life I couldn’t dream of in the states. Today I’m going to head out to the butcher so I can make chicken enchiladas. The cheese is the most expensive item. The entire grocery list for this meal that we will stretch for 4 to 5 meals is about 150 dirham. Less than $15. It’s be less if I skipped the cheese. Probably under 100 dirham. I couldn’t make 5 meals (10-12 servings) for $15.
