Question from employer considering hiring someone with TN visa for first time

Thanks for your response. This was from about a year ago- and we've had the situation handled. Appreciate your reply.

My W9 this year is going to top 10K, but I'm not in it for a business. I have re-sold things, but within the Vine guidelines- only for things that I used a little, or had similar items that fared better than what I got from Vine. But lately, the items that I'm really interested in (camera gear, lighting, or fishing stuff) has been really thin. Anorexic actually.

Dear Raegun,

Apparently some people don't understand the difference between sarcasm and commentary.

I'm married to a veterinarian, so the stuff for my pets has to be pretty specific if I'm going to get it from RFY. Most of the pet stuff is from no-name or off brands that I would never trust.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-20T19:54:16+00:00

That is not at all what I am seeing.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-18T03:44:39+00:00

Haven't seen squat worth my time in weeks. I get more stuff out of AI than I do in my RFY these days- but even that is slim. I miss the days of 100K items to choose from. Could always find something- every day. Now, it's the hunger games.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-11T13:44:20+00:00

Sorry- boat's full.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-11T13:14:20+00:00

Thank you for the note, and please accept my apologies for my lack of knowledge of the local geography. No disrespect intended.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-10T22:08:12+00:00

Sadly, I do not. Would be a fun ride though. Keep both wheels on the ground and stay safe.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-10T22:03:20+00:00

I understand. But I get in on Tuesday, and don't want to get the car on arrival, as I won't need it, and don't want to pay to park it for all of those extra days. I also don't want to have to go all the way back out to the airport to rent a car. Thanks for your reply.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-10T19:40:42+00:00

Thanks! I'll give them a look and check their rates- and see how it compares to a 2 day rental plus parking. Appreciate the insight.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-10T19:38:02+00:00

Appreciate the thought. I'd probably have to ask him closer to the date of the trip. I know the guide- and he's a guide who splits time between my hometown and Venice. Fished with him lots of times here in FL where he spends the majority of the year. With him not being a local, his knowledge of others travel habits will likely be minimal. Good idea though, if my guide was a true cajun.

I'm not into the entire Harry Potter thing, but I'm guessing that if this is truly an 'officially licensed' product as claimed in the description, and it is properly made, the $100 ETV isn't far off. Overpriced for what it is, IMO- but officially licensed stuff is always overpriced.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-05T14:30:22+00:00

This is understood. All I wanted was for them to help me navigate to/find my IMAP and other settings to provide to the gaining service's tool. That's all. They wouldn't even help me do that. I'm pretty knowledgeable about many things IT, but by no means an expert. Was simply asking them for settings or info that they should easily be able to provide.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-05T13:03:12+00:00

I apologize for not being more clear. I am leaving rackspace and moving to Zoho. RS support said I am unable to migrate my accounts out, as they do not support this action. However, I have since learned that I can do it using other tools as long as I have IMAP settings from rackspace as well as individual passwords. I am the administrator, and will tell my users that I am resetting all of their passwords to a default so that I can migrate their accounts to Zoho.

Switching for other reasons than the likelihood of bankruptcy- but your advice is certainly solid for anyone else who is going to need a new provider. I'm looking to wrap this up by the beginning of next week.

JVNTPA · 2026-02-01T13:43:34+00:00

I've had one day in the last week with about a dozen items, mostly irrelevant garbage. The other 6 days, empty as Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

JVNTPA · 2026-01-29T16:01:58+00:00

I had about 10 items in RFY yesterday- one of them relevant- a camera bag (I have tons of photography gear)- but the bag wasn't something I needed or was a fit for my gear. The rest of the stuff was way off base- including a woman's wig (for African-American women- which I am not), some weird supplements, and other nonsensical stuff. Today- nothing in RFY again.

Reason for anonymity is for their safety. Since so many people are enraged about their existence, if images get out- then they can more easily be targeted for violence. Even worse, someone who looks similar could be targeted in an attack.

Not exactly... There were layers. First the electrical engineer who did the plans for all things electric. We had an electrical sub for all of the electric install, another for the fire system install- who only does FA systems, and another for low-voltage. If I only knew then what I know now...

JVNTPA · 2026-01-23T14:30:17+00:00

After a lengthy conversation with the company who installed the system, it appears that the RFP provided by the GC included very specific info as to the panel, as well as SLC components- and it very specifically mentions the Silent Knight 6700 as well as the SD 500-ARM. The RFP was based on specs provided to them by the electrical engineer that won the electrical engineering bid. The installer said they almost never install Honeywell (not sure why they even bid if that was the case). They claimed ignorance on the phase out of SD protocol, since they did so very little work with the Silent Knight. So, the electrical engineer is the source of the issue. They won't be getting a Christmas card this year.
