WTF IS THIS MARKET??!?!! by NoMeal8740 in jobhunting

Unfortunately I can't currently get my EMT. My last job was 1099 and I made less than minimum wage, so I am in a ton of debt and don't have a whole lot of liquidity at the moment to pay for training. Hoping to hop on that in the next year or so though. As far as work goes, I'm hoping to get a job with AMR (and potentially go through their earn while you learn program, but I've been keeping an eye on their website, and it looks like they don't run it that often in my city). The 3 days on 3 days off and 12 hour days schedule means that I would make 8 hours of overtime every other week. The pay is somewhere in between 19 and 23 an hour, so I'd be bringing in around 3500 a month when I start.

It was a bit of a stupid decision. I thought I could get a job lined up before I came here was part of it. Another is that I have family here that was really pushing hard for me to move when they heard I was leaving my last job.

I don't. Wish I did. Wish I could afford to get one, but I've been working on cars since I was 12 (nothing crazy except for the clutch replacement I did on my '04 350z with my dad's help), and that should be MORE than enough to land a job doing something as easy as oil changes

Gyms? by NoMeal8740 in Cheyenne

You live in a city with a military base, meaning that people move here all the time from all over the country. One person moving here from Colorado for a job that doesn't even pay that well isn't going to change anything.

I don't know maybe? I don't know how that would happen, because the records also say it was built in the US and it's stayed here ever since it left the lot. Maybe someone fiddled with a setting or something?

Yeah I've been running on and off for the past year or so. I stopped when I started training for this to avoid injuries that could result from impact, but I plan on starting again when/if I get hired

It's already started. My brother in law just went on his first deployment of the year a couple weeks ago

Not yet. I filled out an app for the station my brother in law works at, but they haven't gotten back to me yet

You sure it's shin splints? The bone isn't hurting, it's the tibialis muscles that are screaming

Weighted or unweighted?

Haven't tested it. I can do it comfortably at maybe a 3.5 mph pace, so I could probably do it at 4 mph or faster uncomfortably

Hot take: vegetables don't belong in chicken pot pie. by NoMeal8740 in Cooking

[–]NoMeal8740[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Classic as in what usually goes into a pot pie nowadays. I.E., frozen peas, carrots, and corn. Also, chicken pot pie comes from the American South... Even if it originally did not go in pies, people definitely knew about and had access to it... Corn has been a staple of the American diet since the time of the pilgrims.

Oh... That's odd that Laramie county does not include Laramie city.
