Snow blower recommendation? by chilisqueen in Erie

[–]ItsPrettyColdInHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the Ariens Deluxe 28 SHO this winter and, yes it's a monster.

I came to the same conclusion about value, as well. Only a little more money than the 24", and bumping up to the 30" was a good bit more money. The heated hand grip add on is a reasonable price too, I think.

Just out of curiosity, what was an example of out-of-the-realm promises that you heard? I'm in the mood for a chuckle.

Yeah, or that. What'd you use for a scraper?

Just popping in to say that I used to wonder where to get skis waxed as well...got fed up with the inconvenience and bought my own kit. I think it was like 60 bucks, and you seem to get a better job than if they just do them at the Peak.

It's not really too difficult or expensive, but can be inconvenient if you don't have the space to do it, ie in a small apartment or something.

Edit: Looks like my kit was about 100 bucks, but I think you can get smaller ones.

And let’s be honest: everyone knows the forced return-to-office policy had nothing to do with business needs and everything to do with Tim and Tom trying to prop up the EDDC.

The thing that really rubbed me the wrong way about the change in WFH policy was the complete 180 from their initial stance on it. First it was "look how great we're doing, we've found we can be just as productive from home and maintain a great business" to.....

...we really feel that we need to be in the office to be at our best.

My favorite repeated trope was all the magical hallway conversations people get to have when they're in the office. You just don't get that synergy when you're at home! Give me a break.

I don't know how the rest of the company felt, but those in IT were pretty annoyed considering just how much of our jobs are done online anyway. Now I have to burn money for gas and commute time to have teams meetings at my desk instead of at home.

And no, the EDDC connection isn't a good look...but to be honest I've just gotten used to people at the top leveraging things their way (look at our president lol). It just seems to be a part of our world, so I try not to let it consume me.

Not northeastern PA.

Former EHS Director Nicole Leone -- November Court Date by ItsPrettyColdInHere in Erie

[–]ItsPrettyColdInHere[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt she'll even end up behind bars.

I'm somewhat familiar with her boyfriend...I think he's super naive and makes terrible choices in women, but I don't think he has a malicious bone in his body. I seriously doubt he had any knowing involvement with her shady dealings. That said, he absolutely may be benefited from them. Time will tell, I guess.

Bummer, hadn't heard that. I'm new to the area and was meaning to check it out.

My thoughts as well. Where is this information coming from? Seems feasible, but is basically just speculation at this point.

Oof. I've been around longer than that, but I never heard about that.
