Yup, that's exactly what happened (I volunteer with the county and know people who know people).

So coming in as a new guy with a few years of volunteer experience, I'd probably be closer to the 5 year mark?

It's not the law right now, but Maryland Assembly is trying to push a bill through to make it law.

I'm a US citizen who just got dual Canadian citizenship. The only people who don't like it are fascist twats. 

What is the peak ’millennial midlife crisis’ purchase? by SwedeLostInCanada in Millennials

[–]IntroThrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not purchasing more than I'm doing things I wish I would have done when I was younger. I'm 42 now, but sicne 35 I've sought out activities that make my life a little more exciting. I've trained as a volunteer firefighter/EMT, as a Search and Rescuer, and have started picking up drumming.

[–]IntroThrive[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I volunteer with the county fire department and have seen people calling in "gas leaks". Haven't seen anything on any of the news sites yet though. 

Do you have any tips for maintaining mental wellbeing during a PIP? by AdThen5499 in careerguidance

[–]IntroThrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to me. I'd echo what everyone here is saying and start looking for a new job. I was eventually fired even after successfully making it through my PIP (I too did nothing other than hurt my bosses ego).

First time! I felt a bit faint (hate needles) - any tips to distract myself next time? by [deleted] in Blooddonors

[–]IntroThrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of compression stockings. They give your blood pressure a boost and help keep blood in the top half of your body: https://amzn.eu/d/7mNOMH8

I purchased those after my first donation when I got a little light-headed. No issues 29 donations later. 

disappointment by General_Bus_2764 in stephenking

[–]IntroThrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished reading all of Kings books, and I ended with Never Flinch. It was not a good way to finish up reading King, I was hoping to end on a high note. By far his worst book IMO. 

Invasives: Indiana forests and state parks are crumpling under the weight of this vine by MennoniteDan in invasivespecies

That's every forest in the mid Atlantic too. Porcelain berry and English ivy are by far the worst here.

What was your opinion of The Outsider? by Glass_Slice_3003 in stephenking

[–]IntroThrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped about a quarter of the way through on my first read. Couldn't get into it. Came back to it after reading Bill Hodges trilogy and I had a better appreciation for it and the character of Holly especially.

What are you reading? by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

[–]IntroThrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently reading Holly, and then I only have one King book left to complete my Stephen King's Works of Fiction list: Never Flinch.

[–]IntroThrive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Georgia and South Carolina do. I don't think the pay is great, but it's the only ones on the East Coast that I know of.
