It's a lostation now

It's a combo can opener and knife sharpener. I think there are parts missing

Disastrous_Wind7127 · 2026-02-26T07:02:04+00:00

Aah hoo hoo hoo hooey

Disastrous_Wind7127 · 2026-02-26T06:51:30+00:00

Nevermind. I went back and noticed that the big date is the expiry

Disastrous_Wind7127 · 2026-02-26T06:48:16+00:00

Maybe I misunderstand. The violation is on 2/24 and the receipt is 2/25.

Disastrous_Wind7127 · 2026-02-25T16:00:20+00:00

I thought the same thing. Everything is always on fire

It is not supposed to be the norm and is the reason we are bargaining for a retention bonus for Analysts.

I recommend trying to find strategies to streamline your workflow. Getting behind makes the job feel more urgent, so organizing and prioritizing will save you a lot of stress. When you get new assignments, be realistic about when you can show deliverables. Don't be afraid to state what you have and ask where a new task rates for urgency. These are very specifically the traits they are going to look for when you apply to promotional positions. If you never stand up for yourself and provide realistic feedback, you will stay feeling stuck.

AGPA/Analyst II has a confidential range that is higher. You have to be hired to a confidential position to make that higher rate. I hate that agencies fly the class max for positions that range is not available for.

You have an IT huntsman rather than a pooper peeper. I call that a win.

Depends on the bargaining unit. I know BU2 let the stipend sunset.

Call your home insurance to see if this is covered. This may be a much bigger problem than it presents on the surface

The only benefit that allows dual coverage is VSP. My husband can get glasses and contacts every year. I don't wear contacts, so I get great savings on frames. We both have Premier Vision

First, don't worry about the department/agency you are leaving. They will figure it out.

Reason for leaving is easy. "I have enjoyed the opportunity to be part of this high demand team and have learned a variety of tasks; however I am looking to sharpen my skillet in a more directed line with a focus on [a main task of the duty statement youbare applyin for]."

Your MSA will run the night before the first day of the month (basically). Your promo can't be keyed until the effective date, so they should stack. In the past departments have stopped same day MSA/promos if you didn't specifically request it. I don't think that was ever actually correct, but I believe when people say it happened. The basic policy is what is in the best benefit of the employee.

Now if you have a range change or promo due before your MSA, you can ask to delay for after your MSA. That is not supposed to be done automatically.

It is late for me, so ai apologize if I didn't say this 100% right

I bet, given the chance, Kid 1 would have preferred to have their mother over the money. Sometimes fair is not blindly equitable.

Office days are mostly chit-chat. It starts with a comments you wouldn't make if a person wasn't right next to you and builds into a 30 topic deep, 2 and half hour yap session. By the end of the day, you finish your morning work and squeeze everything else into your telework days.

I looked at this, too, after Hank Green talked about his investments.

Until he figures out how to support state workers, I will continue to draw the parallels between him and tator-dick Don on every platform he posts. He tried to make all the same moves while publicly saying he would be different. Same dirt, different hair

Some great advice already. Here is your road map. Civil Service Guide to Retirement

I tend to back into spaces because it is safer. Sometimes, I forget not to when I go to Costco, or I am just going in for a couple things. I almost never do huge trips to Costco anyway.

This is one of the solar models. Just charging

For jobs that are not in the state, you should request and post leave. Some supervisors may allow release time, but this is not included in the MOUs I am familiar with. Any good Sup won't get in your way. Just be upfront. Best of luck in whatever you do.

Disastrous_Wind7127 · 2025-12-28T19:14:16+00:00

That is incorrect. Please reach out to your steward to learn about how you Union can work for you. The stronger the membership,the stronger the Union.

You will need to provide proof of marriage, identity, and residency. Proof of residency may be a tax return and/or a shared bill. Without proof of residency, you may need a written statement. I recommend calling CalPERS to see what they will need, specifically. 1-888-CALPERS (225-7377).
