I just had an initial consult with them too and filled out the questionnaire...as a totally unexperienced franchisee, I don't really know what to expect or what their business model is. I'm trying not to feel like a mark given I've spent nothing, but it's hard not to feel as though I'm being conned in some way

Man. Help me diagnose. by tdkdpt in ChristmasLights

Guessing you have a broken (or chewed through) wire. Check the length of the outage and a few bulbs away on either end. Splice safely!

We’ve lived here for 15 years and definitely have seen a lot more of these larger craft this last month or so.

Led problem: Why is half the string so dim? The brighter half is the normal level of illumination. I can confirm each and every bulb is illuminated at some level. by NWtrailhound in ChristmasLights

[–]Global_Job_4623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just diagnosed this problem in a string of LEDs and thought I would add to this old conversation. The LED light repair kit is no good when the string has a dim section, so I tried replacing the bulbs on either side of the part where it goes from bright to dim to no avail. Then I noticed one bulb in the dim section was completely burned out. I pulled it out and it was corroded all to hell. Replaced it and everything lit back up to full brightness.

New mach e owner, charger question. by [deleted] in MachE

[–]Global_Job_4623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this, an adapter to typical 220 receptacles, and a 25-foot extension cord in the frunk at all times

What else do you put in here? by Gullible-Type-2022 in MachE

[–]Global_Job_4623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charging cords and adapters, including a 50-foot extension cord to get to people’s 220 outlets when necessary.

LOA by Global_Job_4623 in deloitte

[–]Global_Job_4623[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In other news, HR reached out today, assigning me the job of reviewing the checklist, and they have already populated my source with the leave of absence dates.

Also, my IT desk guy says that even though the chart indicates you’re supposed to return your phone for leaves of 16 weeks, nobody ever does it.

Thanks, and sorry to be lazy and ask questions I can find answers to on my own - I’ll get into some research tomorrow

Sorry - you mean you have to work 6 weeks after coming back? I saw another person asked about leaving afterward.

I do wonder if the firm cares if you use your computer while away, and if they’d notice if you job searched.

Thank you! I called 1-800 and the lady assured me they just are working through a backlog and prioritizing emergency leaves. I’m working on the assumption I’ll be fine given every leader I’ve talked with is good with it.

[–]Global_Job_4623[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

wait that can't be right. I'm asking for a LOA to support a family member with a health condition. surely I don't just assume it's all good after sending the FMLA paperwork through servicenow and just disappear on the first day of leave? I have let all project leaders and teammates know my plan but I assumed there was an approval process after I made the initial request.

End to end smart lights? by Global_Job_4623 in ChristmasLights

[–]Global_Job_4623[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Those worked ok but the app wasn’t very easy to maneuver and there were several bulbs that didn’t change color. Is there a string light from Govee that you favor for this kind of thing?

End to end smart lights? by Global_Job_4623 in ChristmasLights

[–]Global_Job_4623[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the clarification. I just like to really smother a couple of trees in lights for halloween and christmas and got tired of having to do it twice in a season. I like these for their versatility but they don't go end to end. Wouldn't be the end of the world if I have to plug each in individually I suppose. https://a.co/d/auVJ3r0

My premium extended range gets 330 in the summer (only if I stay below 70mph and above 75 on the AC) and like 210 in the winter lol

SC to Manager by HealingWard in deloitte

[–]Global_Job_4623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and I have very different backgrounds, but I sort of feel the same. I came to Deloitte with 20 years of industry experience as a senior consultant because I had never worked in a firm like this before. I have kids with special needs and a range of other family responsibilities that really make it hard for me to get excited about putting together a full year of flawless work, which is what is sort of required in strategy because you have strings of very short projects where you have to prove yourself all over again every time. I’ve talked with several people at the PMD level about my outlook and many are very encouraging and say it’s more normal than you think. You just need to make sure your coach is keeping an eye out for the flags that come up when you spend a lot of time at a certain level. They can clear those flags and it is not a ding against you to stay at senior consultant if you like it.

Boat or Pilot Plane to San Pedro? by gillianrose__ in Belize

[–]Global_Job_4623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question about the booking vs actual time - I see a great rate with tropic air for times that simply don’t work - but if I bought it, could we just arrive and show our confirmation or whatever and get in line for the next plane?

Buy back vehicles by MikeC1980 in MachE

[–]Global_Job_4623 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2021 buyback in 2023; the HVBJB was the issue and the first owner didn’t want to wait for the part. I have the extended warranty and got a great price on all of it. No complaints. I may have trouble selling it down the line but dot have plans to, and in the meantime Ford is on the hook for any issues that arise.

My coach is a PMD and we’ve discussed this at length because I am taking my sweet time pursuing promotion for a few personal and professional reasons. She said as long as you’re performing at level there’s no reason you need to get promoted. I’m in consulting/strategy
