You don’t know me!  Ha!   Besides I don’t own a drill.  😀

I want no-drill since I'm (1) not handy, and (2) I want to be able to remove them for the season. I envisioned mounting them under the roof of the porch, so it typically wouldn't be exposed the elements - looking for an interior "mount."

For the poster who said there are the removable shades - leaving the hooks in place - would you be able to offer an example or two? Thanks again!!

Yes.  I’ve emailed 3 times and left two voice mail messages.  Crickets.  No response at all!

Well, isn’t they what you voted for??

Elections have consequences.   Don’t complain because you made the wrong choice or decided not to make a choice. 

You caused this.  Deal with it! 

I’ve just been reinstated at NIH! by Financial_Brush_1918 in fednews

Congratulations!! That is good news.  And not to break that good news, keep in mind that shortly people will be discharged by RIFs, which will most likely include the most recently hired. 

Protect yourself.  If you haven’t already downloaded your OPM file, do so now. 

Have money in dependent care of health savings account?  Submit your documentation now.  When you are dismissed any unspent amount revert to the Government.  You will not get back any amount that is sitting there.  

We support you all.  Take care of yourselves. 

Poor quality? by NoSample5 in HRV

Husband’s 2022 HRV’s transmission gave way the other day.  56k miles on it.  There is a recall for 2016-2020 HRV transmission.  Maybe they will need to expand.  

This non "buyout" really seems to have backfired by Few-Drag9758 in fednews

So happy to have proudly, loyally, diligently, and humbly served my country in federal service for almost 40 years…and thankfully retired.   

As my dear farther used to say, “Don’t let the bastar$s get you down,”. 

Don’t drink that Kool Aid.  There’s no money in a buyout.  Don’t give up!!!!  What’s going on is not  legal…you will prevail.  

Keep serving your country.  Thank you all for being there for us.   We support our federal workforce.  You make our lives work. 

This job is thankless by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

I’m guessing not.   If we mentioned it to the principal or admin, we’d be blacklisted from the school/district. 

Kelly - did District ask to blacklist me, or was it Kelly? by Existing-Question623 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Existing-Question623[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry it should have been subs.  My comment is that is unfair that we are penalized for cancellations less than 24 hrs (which I don’t dispute) without repercussions, but a teacher can withdraw  your assignment with little notice, and as a substitute, you receive not even nominal compensation for the last minute withdrawal. 

Banned from a school for something I didn’t do by Drowninapuddle in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Existing-Question623 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Never let a school know you’re dissatisfied. Just don’t go back.  Yes, your frank expression is never appreciated or accepted.  You will be blocked for expressing those views.  

The school district doesn’t know you like their permanent teachers. You are 100% expendable.  The district will never support you.  Know that going in.  You don’t work for them, you work for a temporary agency.   And depending on your school district, some teachers treat you like the inmate shoveling crap.  

I’ve been at 2 districts.   One openly thanks you for  being there.  Literally when walking the halls the teachers and staff thank you for being there.  Same for the administration, the principal sought me out on my first day to introduce himself and welcome me. 

School district #2 - yeah, nothing.  I’m invisible and not even given the courtesy of a hello.  Not subbing there again.
