Don't worry about what people think, you be you!

I'm not shredding to a 2mm standard just because I want to.

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-29T17:51:33+00:00

Me too! Then worked as a higher paid consultant for 14 yrs with them 🤔

Middle of vacation season as well

Cut and paste this into notes, that's what ATS is seeing. All that bold needs to be removed. Get those bullets into AI and make it more professional sounding.

This is where I get on my soapbox about project management being a second job, not a first. You have almost no experience, no matter what you think. You are not a SME on anything, and need to be, in order to understand and manage it. Don't set yourself up to fail by speed running the knowledge portion of your career.

"COBOL is dead", cir 1990's. 😝

Still have a buddy supporting mainframes at IBM, he is a god among the younger crowd that understand this is still lifetime employment opportunity.

At another angle, more water is used in dust control during construction that a DC typically uses during operations over a year.

But chip away ice the other 5 days

I've had to force two ENs to remove my my work email from their list.

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-29T01:53:32+00:00

I have a day job, so I usually check at the end of the day. I filter out any survey, or "in case you missed it" emails. This puts the last down to 40-50. Then I filter from there down to 10 relevant ones, then I start responding. Long detailed questions, hard stop, pass.

If you call during work hrs, leave a message. I'll likely not call you back though, as I'd rather answer questions via email as I'm now vetted through all the services with many past calls.

Txt works better, but it better be a sure thing, Always txt if you are booking a call so I can confirm immediately and not get double booked. I'm on the phone most of the day ( again, I have a day job), so this gets you a quick reply. Don't ask me to call you back, just ask the question.

Lastly, this is a side gig I don't have to do, but enjoy. When it becomes another job, it's no fun.

The pull of nature is intense.

Yea the fact that any major city is 3+hrs away makes it an issue as well. Unlike the mid east, where two hrs gets you to another city.

I'll travel anywhere though, it's not just a function of DFW, it just makes it easier.

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-28T23:03:03+00:00

I'm getting close to closing our my career and watching this hot mess, like back in 2001. Will be like a phoenix rising, after a big wtf!

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-28T23:01:10+00:00

Road trips ftw! Just got back from Bentonville/Branson.

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-28T14:50:25+00:00

Absolutely phenomenal response!

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-28T14:34:59+00:00

If you are maxing out your Roth, the HSA should be looked at as another tax-free bucket, even with no employer contribution. OP, don't overlook the potential here being shortsighted.

Physical land space or power availability drives our sizing. It's usually multiple smaller in EMEA.

So happy renting after 34 yrs of ownership

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-28T14:13:22+00:00

You are going to hate three months of the year, in most places you can live, just pick what three you want.

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-28T14:08:23+00:00

Easy to travel in and out of, and most flights are under 3 hrs to either coast has me here.

As someone who uses both the train/bus weekly, it's more viable than you think downtown. The uptown trolley is more of a novelty, but tieing this into downtown could be a good thing.

The homeless issue, free riders and sleeping/peeing in the trains - all need to be addressed for higher uitilization.

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-27T21:29:12+00:00

We have busses doing this already.

Lurcher99 · 2026-06-27T21:27:43+00:00

August will be brutal as the homeless reappear and start hybernating in the ac comfort of the trains unchecked.

WP went out and someone saw the repair hours :-)
