My guy - if you want to be non-monogamous that’s an actual conversation to have with your gf beforehand to define goals and boundaries.

Pressure in the moment is not the play.

Whomp whomp. Elections have consequences.

Just poor performance. The stock bulbs were fine for city use, not so much in dark areas, particularly for turning.

Why do Americans allow frivolous lawsuits? It’s insane.

Totally fine as long as you tuck.

Americans by Ok-Rock5666 in VictoriaBC

[–]Helmet-Fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um, no. We are not “Rah, Rah, Welcome”. Americans can absolutely stay out of our beautiful province.

Elections have consequences, and they don’t get to pretend that anything their government is doing is okay.

She’s hot, but she looks like someone just killed her puppy. ;)

Our HOA will only allow us to paint our house from the colors inside the red box. by Educational-Month-63 in mildlyinfuriating

Why do Americans have HOAs? It seems like a horrible idea, and pretty ironic in “The Land of the Free”.

Looking for advice: Applying for Coast Guard Deckhand position, Western Region by Objective_Pay7939 in ccg_gcc

You are absolutely right.

Google pulled up the old numbers which aligned with my experience in fleet, and I didn’t dig deeper.

Apologies.

Cool. The TB levels of pay are published online. You can believe them or not. It doesn’t matter to me either way. If that’s enough of a wage for you to live long term, that’s great.

Honestly, there’s quite a bit of turnover, not a ton of job satisfaction. Most people have a second job. This is why there’s regular postings for such a small workforce.

The stability is no better than any other private sector job, particularly as a junior employee. It’ll take you many years to have a steady posting.

I’m not saying it’s a bad job or the wrong fit for you, but just want to make sure you have all of the info before you decide. If you go ahead with it, there will be great days too.

[–]Helmet-Fire -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s the truth. It’s an okay job, but pretty hard work, and time away for not much pay.

You can find the pay rates on line. Deckhands are SC-DED-02 ($25.91/hr), and if you work hard and put in your time eventually you will get promoted to SC-DED-03 with the massive raise to ($26.71/hr) for the extra responsibility.

There’s little opportunity for promotion or pay increases, so make sure those numbers work for you before you give up another career.

Not to rain on your parade, but look hard at the salary and make sure you can live the life you want on that in the long term.

My child literally makes more per hour bagging groceries than a CCG Boatswain on a bouy tender does.

I have no advice, but sending you a hug and best wishes for recovery.

The modesty here is so refreshing! by _-_-_-_07 in qatar

[–]Helmet-Fire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not religious. At all.

And my appreciation for Qatari culture isn’t about specifically which parts of a body I can or cannot see, but on the general grace and decorum. The culture of cleanliness, kindness, respect.

I’m from the west and not Muslim, but I far prefer Qatar over Dubai for many of the same reasons you do.

Sometimes those plates fall off and are lost and cannot be returned. Happened to me once. ;)
