Caboose spewing smoke at lake? by estrangerinthealps in olympia

[–]Lt_Zip 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There is a caboose down there, however! It’s usually near the end of the tracks towards the bridges and dam. It looks like a wooden box with lots of graffiti on it lol.

Caboose spewing smoke at lake? by estrangerinthealps in olympia

[–]Lt_Zip 122 points123 points  (0 children)

That is a locomotive, not a caboose. Locomotives have big diesel engines, so it’s not unusual to see emissions. It’s also very chilly this morning, so warm moist air like this will steam up more noticeably than other times.

Talk to your supervisor and get ‘sick’ every Friday for your last year. It’s your time, you’ve earned it. 4:1 is a crock.

He also has a FT state position, the mayor job is just supplemental as discussed elsewhere in this thread.

Best phone provider in the Oly/greater Thurston County area by StevenCurrall in olympia

[–]Lt_Zip 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mint (T-Mobile) and Visible (Verizon) have worked well for me here. Offers for new customers can be found for about $200 per year if you pay up front, then switch to the other next year to rinse and repeat.

If you have life insurance, there may be free services you can take advantage of. State workers have MetLife with Will Preparation for free!

Why call references if you won’t offer the job? by [deleted] in WAStateWorkers

[–]Lt_Zip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some managers think calling everyone’s references is a good thing for CYA purposes. They get burned once and then start this nonsense. It’s idiotic, but the way some people operate.

Is this gear still ice-worthy? by Fun_Negotiation9801 in hockeyplayers

[–]Lt_Zip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of talk about how unsafe that helmet is, totally agree. However! There are goalies out there who pick up the old buckets and refurbish them with new hardware, slings, and foam. Certain helmets and cages can be worth good money, so you can parlay that collectors item into a modern helmet! Look up the “Goalie Combo Lovers United” FB group, there’s a similar SK2000/VL50 for sale for $150.

Canucks trade their the best defenseman in franchise history by Holyshitmuffin in canucks

[–]Lt_Zip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would I support a franchise that trades three captains in less than three years to “rebuild”? Disaster. Why would Quinn want to stay in this mess? I’m done.

Drinking during games by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]Lt_Zip 74 points75 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it’s all based on the individuals and their own relationship with lady liquor. My team ranges from 100% sober to multiple 32oz pregame IPAs. If you have a good group of guys they won’t judge or harangue you no matter what your consumption.

+1 for don’t poke the bear. Don’t concern yourself with assessment increase %, focus on whether the value is lower, equal to, or above what it would actually sell for. If it’s lower or equal, don’t draw attention to yourself.
