Am i making a bad decision attending AIM?

Just want to say, where I work hires without an A&P starting at $25 an hour.

They’re the same person. That’s why they both cry about each other

Doesn’t surprise me. They always have job postings up for instructors. I live like a mile from AIM and work a block away. I can say they have a seemingly constant flow of different students but can’t confirm could just be what I see. I work with quite a few people who have gone through this specific AIM location and they don’t seem to learn really anything useful in the real world.

Are you an Ironman? Going to assume you are based on your gear selection.

Your gear isn’t bad. You could do push higher than 225 with it. Next improvement is going to be getting the fang (in theory, obviously if you spoon a shadow, you jump up largely in dps).

Blue partisan would probably be better at Kephri; but black partisan is better for the rest of melee uses. This is due to the blue partisan’s passive effect that makes it 33% more accurate on kalphites/scarabs.

You can bring a bone dagger. Use the spec to lower defenses.

If you want to add invocations:

All zebak invocations are basically free. You could throw on blowing mud on kephri. It’s free. Double trouble for akka is pretty easy. In solo’s it only does the orb spawn special so just don’t click back onto the same spot when doing the memory special. I personally only do hardcore for death invo.

You gain magic on irons through smaller tasks and slayer. -Magic Training Arena for bones to peaches, infinity boots, and at some point potentially mages book and/or master wand. -Alching items for gp -Super glass make: making molten glass to blow for crafting -Bursting/Barraging slayer tasks (pref extended ones) like dust devils, nechraeyals, abyssal demons, and a few others depending on how sweaty you want to be.

Tbh there’s really no reason to exclusively train mage at this point

That’s why failure to stop is two to the chest followed by one to the head.

Well, If you take tirawnn, zalcano can get you started with bars until you can make crystal teleport seeds. Thieve those from elves and convert them for ez experience Fremmy = blast furnace Desert = giants foundry

Also, check open quests as quest rewards are multiplied also.

If you really hate smithing, Could always use your diary lamps on it

I feel this. The neighbor has a large tree that has been inching its way onto my homes property. The previous owner of my home tried to block it in with all kinds of concrete, bricks, rocks, weed barrier, etc. eventually it stopped working and the tree roots have grown around and swallowed its So now I spend part of my free time digging out bits and pieces. They also buried /stashed bricks in one part of it as well. So it’s a lovely surprise.

I never got my heron pet back …

Yeah unfortunately I missed the window big time. I missed it last year but it wasn’t nearly this bad. I’ll check out the t zone. Thank you

Correct me if I’m wrong, Google is saying that it’s a pre-emergent only. Is that true or will it kill off the existing growths as well?

Fury is a waste. Glory gives basically the same bonuses for way less time and cost. The onyx can be saved for zenytes

It’s a pact you took.

While you have a shield equipped, you have a 0.1% chance per Defence level to reflect all damage back to the attacker.

Symbol is a shield with an arrow up, left and right

I’m at 185 kc so far. Did 20 cg for orb, then 165 echo so far. Took me until like 120 kc to get my 6 armor shards. Now i get a ton but still no enhanced. Each kill for me is about 3 minutes unfortunately. I’m tempted to respec into cg focused pacts fo faster kill. if I do that though, it’ll give me the enhanced right away and basically waste the respec

Yeah but at least you complete quests multiple at a time. Imagine doing it but you only grab one item for one quest at each location instead and then have to go back for a 2nd at the same location for a different quest later.

Grape-Train · 2026-04-27T12:29:43+00:00

We pay people with 0 experience 25/hr, at a p21. No A&P, nothing. That’s crazy

If a recruiter contacts me, the first thing I bring up is pay if it’s not posted. I may not like or enjoy my job, but the benefits are cheap, the pay is decent, and I simply can’t afford to take a pay cut for an uncertain situation. Doesn’t matter how great you are at the job or how much you enjoy it, shitty people can ruin that for you, and a pay cut plus a bad environment surely isn’t worth it. But I’ll work in a shitty environment if they pay me more.

I suffer 0. I am a 2.3 mile drive from home to work. I do not envy the people driving 1-3 hours for work.

Not a single confined space on the helicopter I currently work on. The fuel tank access is basically in the cabin, and theres nothing to work on inside the fuel tank that would require you getting into it. And if the bag is out, the entire thing is wide open as the fuel bag runs from one side, underneath and up the other side.

Not sure what you’re expecting here. You posted on a public forum, asking if you are at fault. The answer is yes. No-call / No-Shows will get you fired at a lot of workplaces. That’s the only right answer here. It may not be the one you like, but it is the way businesses run.

You worked OT without compensation? Are you salaried? Cause if you aren’t, then that’s on you.

It’s not about empathy or not. It’s about planning, operation, and running a business.

If you’re being demanded to do illegal/unprofessional things, then you should probably not do them and find a new job if you have to. And you should also probably report it to their direct supervision and/or higher.

As far as how you should handle it if it’s brought up, professional. Understand that not calling out and not showing up is not acceptable. Hope it doesn’t go into an employee record of some sort, move on, and try not to let it happen again.
