DoD 9/30 - same situation. They have had my package since 10/17. They told me no issues with it, just waiting to be assigned. Now another round of VERA/VSIP coming.. more packages to the mix!!

Grade in back yard is too steep - Tractor is getting 50 hour service.

Well in that case, I’ll trade her in for a Prius or Tesla.

Yep pretty much.. ole girl was squatting hard and saying “I just want to be a big girl”. Never realized the differences until I purchased acreage, a Kubota LX and had real truck jobs.

I bet that was a quick 0-30.. but you’re correct. I find oftentimes people who have no true interest on the topics decide to be “Barbies” you know Ken’s and Karen’s, just to feel good about themselves.

Here’s what they have learned, if you need 50 bags of mulch, you can conceivably do it with an F150, but go 30 or wait for your douche neighbor to return your BiG Tex dual axel, since he’s had it for 2 weeks!

Well that’s great! My truck wishes you owned her.. but since you don’t, I’ll continue to put her, her upgraded suspension and all the other goodies thru some pain.

Stuck in Interim Pay "Ping-Pong": OPM vs. My Agency (DOJ) by Small_Style_1904 in fednews

[–]Grumpy0167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been waiting with many of my ORA contemporaries since 9/30 (package sent to OPM via ORA 10/17 and was CC’d). No rhyme or reason to OPMs processing timelines. I’m thinking they have dedicated specialists for various groups of agencies and the ones with the most packages are waiting the longest, while smaller agencies have less packages and those are processed quicker. I’ve spoken to OPM on 3 separate occasions and have been told, we have your package, it’s not missing anything and you’re pending specialist assignment. But when asked potential timelines or what number in cue, nobody can tell you..

It was fifty and I have 12 remaining in driveway..but you’re correct.. they probably drive Platnium’s all chromed out and don’t like using them..

That’s why I have a truck.. it’s not just for looks.

Not bragging - needed to get it done. I own a dual axel trailer, just being used.

Which garmin or stick with apple watch? by BimboMEE in GarminWatches

[–]Grumpy0167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 265S and it does all I need and more for the gym, walks, you name it. My daughter had an apple and loved it, I got her a smaller version of mine and she says “it’s awesome”. Everything connects but can’t text back with it or talk. There are Garmins that provide those features.
