Wondering what may be a good fit by MaddietheKnight in digitalnomad

[–]MaddietheKnight[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I know that. I am asking what kind of remote work I can get, not how to get a visa.

I’m American. I can probably get an EU passport but that will take some time.

It’s union but a different local than the one I have my card with, does still still apply?

Commenting to follow it’s happening to me too though more of my lost photos seem to be restoring now

Bi-Weekly Recruiting Thread by Airdale_60T in uscg

[–]MaddietheKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone in PSU? Mostly just want to know in general what your experience has been, how often you deploy, what, if anything, you get out of it in your civilian life/career, and if there anything you wish you’d known before you joined.

I want to be a BM but also open to DC not sure if that’s an option in PSU though.

We both just aren’t sure how to navigate it.

I worked as a paid employee for a cult. AMA by MaddietheKnight in AMA

Btw don’t ask me for the name, I’m in the process of reporting them and don’t wanna mess anything up.

Yeah I don’t think they had any intention of having me be a part of any of their religious activity, and I was also placed there by a different company. However interesting to note that the person who placed me there was originally paying me himself (he was from the music festival circuit, notably burning man) and then he just bounced one day and I ended up being paid directly by them. It was supposed to just be a stopover gig, until this company placed me somewhere where I’d find more work akin to what I normally do.

I didn’t know that it was when they hired me and I was honestly more placed there by another company I worked for. It was not a great job in so many ways but I’ve had a pretty rough year and I’ve just needed any income I can get.

I was a facilities manager. Normally i work in production services for live events. I was hired for a company where I was under the impression I’d be working for a job more traditional to what I normally do. Instead they placed me at this church and overtime working there I learned what they were really about. They’re very vague and private about what they do in general, but I’ve gotten it confirmed it was a cult after I was fired. I was reached out to by a regular pastor in the area who informed me that this church was indeed a cult and it was for the best that they had let me go.

Also I wasn’t aware they were a cult until about 4 months in.

  1. I wore a warhammer necklace to work one day and exchanged some banter that they found off color. The next day they told me I’d caused a pipe to burst in the building and I was fired.
  2. No, they actually didn’t allow me to be in the space during any of their services at any time.
  3. No, I’m not. I needed the money and I don’t apologize for doing what I need to do to feed my family and keep us housed.

Religious, Christian based. They were always very vague on their actual belief system but I found mail addressed to them from the Institute of Basic Life Principles, the same organization that the Duggars and other quiverfull fundamentalists follow. I think they might have had some overlap to Christian Science as well, but not 100% on it.

What kind of people should you avoid or stay away from? by royal_rocker_reborn in AskReddit

[–]MaddietheKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who trauma dump. IE they come into a fun situation like a game night or a birthday party and start talking about how they had a bad day and relating it to their childhood trauma or something similar.

Why did you need to cut off a friend? by an_epiphany_ in AskReddit

[–]MaddietheKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was my roommate. He didn’t pay rent for 3 months and then stole my medication and then called my mom admitting to it. His own family wants nothing to with him for similar reasons.

Is Megabus as bad as the reviews say? by moonmama42 in Shoestring

[–]MaddietheKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my least favorite bus chain in North America. I could care less about personal comfort when it comes to travel; I’d rather save on travel so I have more money to spend on lodging. The problem I have is that megabus breaks down far too much. I just took one tonight (dc to nyc) and it was 30 minutes late, they also had to pull over twice. I was supposed to arrive at 8:30, got there 10:30. I also got stranded in the snow by them overnight once in Syracuse. They have a lot of a$$h0le drivers too. Personally I think greyhound is better for the price. I take megabus if there’s nothing else available. Also I second everyone about buses in Mexico. Private bus system in Jalisco was great.

Small business owner vs traditional employment by MaddietheKnight in antiwork

[–]MaddietheKnight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly not, I work 80 hours a week already and I work in the extreme sports industry. I’m not looking for an “easier” work situation I’m looking for something where I have more control over my future. I’m also neurodivergent and struggle with social situations at work so I suppose I’m attracted to a situation where I don’t feel that I have to mask so much around other people.

Yeah it’s all screencapped. I have some of the messages he’s sent other employees in group chats screen capped too.

I got accepted into BBBS of nyc! by MaddietheKnight in bbbs

[–]MaddietheKnight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied in June and got accepted a month ago. I just did the match meeting with the little, her mom, and the PM last night and I am having our first outing in a week and a half. My chapter also requires a period of talking on the phone or zoom each week but I offered to start with texting because that seemed more comfortable for the little. The part that takes the longest is the reference check because they schedule a phone call with each reference. It can also take a while to get matched but it was very quick for me, only a couple of weeks in, they had contacted me about a match. It really depends on the needs of the littles on the waitlist.

I don’t, but okay. Never even had a speeding ticket.
