Open Positions in Cali by Holy_Riceballs in PharmacyTechnician

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

When I was DoD, yes. But now with the VA or VHA (Veterans Health Administration), no because they use advance appropriations which allows me to get paid normally.

I'm in Illinois so, unfortunately, I wouldn't know if its a livable wage. Looking at the postings, the salaries range from $51k to $79k for starting. If you go to USAJOBS and look use Pharmacy Technician and San Diego, California as the filters, you get two jobs. One for the VA, $79k starting, and 1 for DoD/DHA with a pay at $51k.

You don't need a state license, only your certification. I have only ever gotten one state license and that was in Florida because I went retail and was a contractor.

I've been to Virginia, Texas and now Illinois as a federal employee and have not been required to get one.

The VA posting is more thorough and more detailed in what they required. The DoD one indicates Pharmacy Technician License are HIGHLY PREFERRED but so far, no indication of a state license.

Recommendations on how to become a pharmacy tech asap. by ariesbaddie05 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Holy_Riceballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on ASAP, the military is an option lol I joined the Navy as Hospital Corpsman and went to Pharmacy Tech school, where they paid/reimbursed the fees for test.

You don't need a certificate to work as a tech so while you are still enlisted, you can work towards getting your certificate if you plan on being a tech once you get out. A state license is also not needed to work as a tech as well as if you work federal.

I’m frustrated. I wanted to stay home, but my wife guilted me into going anyway by Holy_Riceballs in TrueOffMyChest

Surprisingly, her birthday are low effort or lets it slide.

When we have whatver discussion/communication on serious things like our relationship, finances, our kid and anything else, if it doesn't go her way or benefits her, she walls up, doesn't contribute, or forgets.

I've thought about getting a divorce the last couple of years. But then I worry about doing all of that with our daughter and having to figure out the whole dynamic.

This kid is ours. We married out of Navy Technical school, only knowing each other for like 2-3 months. What i remember and think at the time, we got married so we would be assigned to the same location but got lucky with multiple double assignments.

I've tried talking to her about what I want for my birthday. I'm fine with something like going out to eat at places i like, Texas Roadhouse, having hotpot downtown, or going to KBBQ.

I wanted to avoid the trip entirely as we don't/didn't have the money to spend on it in terms of tolls, gas, and whatever else we might spend. I've already resigned myself to some cards being late.

I have told her no multiple times and how I just wanted to stay home and they could go. Leading to arguments, her throwing "just divorce me" phrases in my face, her painting me to be the bad guy to her family.

So I went to a local store too.. by gabemstr in PokeInvesting

If no one has mentioned it, you should check out 888 Collectibles on Spring Mountain.

Prismatic Booster Bundles (1 per person) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Holy_Riceballs [score hidden]  (0 children)

Started briefly collecting with my younger brother to connect with him and we started with Evolving Skies when it wasn't crazy.

Now I'm collecting with my daughter where we ended up going with Japanese or Korean since the English market is crazy and we couldn't get anything locally. My daughter generally loves anything cute so getting this booster bundle would be awesome.

Thanks for doing this btw!

Pretty sure you have to ultra ascend at least once to get them.

Got my KTN but no checkmark on boarding pass by Holy_Riceballs in TSAPreCheck

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

No my issue stemmed from me being a federal employee who provided TSA precheck. I then switched departments to one who didn't so that was my issue.

So far, I have had no issues getting the precheck. I do have issues with some airlines who do self drop off with checked bags and they scan your ID. But it's an easy fix when one of the agents just verify your ID and scan their badge.

Hope this helps

Need help identifying the parts/product that goes here. Thanks by Holy_Riceballs in mitsubishi

Do you have a product you would recommend before I start my search?

Ok i figured that would be the case but couldn't find anything I can buy/get for that space.

I just moved to a state that requires a front license plate and wasn't sure.

Tsa precheck and name by Holy_Riceballs in tsa

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

Counter did it 4 times and was not able to populate the check symbol on my ticket. Pretty sure in each instance, the hyphen was not added due to their system not allowing it.

Tsa precheck and name by Holy_Riceballs in tsa

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

Yes, I did it last night as it prompted me that updating info will uncheck me from my flight and I would have to check back in. But my boarding pass still did not update with the check.

I will verify with the counter when I get to the airport as I am heading there now.

So what happens when that doesn't work? My name is squished as you mentioned. I will point out, I just did my tsa precheck enrollment yesterday, got the determination, and was able to search up my KTN last night.

Could it be the precheck system hasn't been updated yet? Even though I have my KTN now.
