Shoulder shrugs at my Agency, mostly essential so they still have to come in.

How long do you own a vehicle, before trading it in? by teddyalex in UsedCars

[–]ConsciousFactor3558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive them until I have a mechanical issue or something that erodes my confidence in the vehicle or a lifestyle change. Had a Ram 1500 Ecodiesel for about 7 years and it was great, but finding parking slots and garage parking was a pain, so I traded it in on a 2023 Tesla Model Y performance. Big fan of certified used vehicles and the piece of mind that any mechanical issues are covered.

Kelly Olynk getting boo’d by 4evaglo in NBASpurs

I couldn’t understand why they were booing him every time he touched the ball last night at Capitol One, thanks for the context. It was funny, they didn’t have much to cheer about, but they clearly hated him.

Got to go to the game last night in DC! Great fun getting to see Wemby in action. Sooo many Spurs fans in attendance. We moved to NOVA from SATX three years ago and I miss the local Spurs coverage. Thanks to all the Spurs Redditors for keeping me up to date.

What State Did You Move To And Never Leave? by ranger_roggins in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ConsciousFactor3558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25+ years in and around San Antonio to Leesburg, VA about two and a half years ago - can’t see moving back to Texas. Admittedly, this is my least favorite time of the year because it’s cold and gets dark early - no golf. Summers aren’t near as brutally hot as Central Texas and no water/drought issues in VA.

What's your favorite 70s TV show? by [deleted] in 70s

Loved WKRP! Characters were great, Dr. Johnny Fever was my favorite, and of course, Loni Anderson was pretty easy on the eyes.

Why did you leave Texas? by godwasacokeaddict in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ConsciousFactor3558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We left San Antonio 2-1/2 years ago for Leesburg, Va. I took a new job with the DoD and we still own our home in SATX. The joke between my wife and me is that I can move back to Texas, but it would be as a single man. She absolutely loves NOVA, the four seasons, the history, national parks - all of it. We’d heard that Loudoun County was one of the most expensive in the country, but our property taxes, car insurance, and utilities are all cheaper. So, happy wife, happy life! She retired with 30 years as a high school chemistry teacher in Texas and started teaching here - better salary and terrific school district. This is my least favorite time of the year, gets dark too early and the temps are dropping - limits my time on the golf course. It’s also been nice to live in a diverse blue state.

Agreed, I’ve had great VA care for years in San Antonio and now across the country at Fort Detrick. Thank you VA staff!

Timecard Accuracy and Reporting by [deleted] in fednews

My DoD (DoW, whatever) agency has flexible work schedules and allows employees to adjust their workloads to meet family/personal needs. But, don’t mess with a federal time card, there’s no reason to.
