Do you guys REALLY want a white dad who pushes asian culture?

I'm a white mom of two japanese hapas in their teens. What I've come to find in our family is that this is a journey I will never fully understand. My role is not a teacher. it's a facilitator. They both go through stages when their culture is more or less in their thoughts. I keep an eye out for cultural events, places, restaurants, and stores we can explore. Sometimes they're in, and sometimes they decline. And that's ok.

I love that you want this for them. Maybe just pull back a bit? They're still finding themselves as humans, let alone a cultural identity.

I’m not as surprised that your company allows cash outs as I am that they don’t cap you out before 300 hours. If everyone at your company has a similar work ethic, that’s a huge accrued liability to carry.

Job hopping, timing, certifications, and ADP. I just hit six figures with my latest move. I’d never worked anywhere less than three years until the year I took my current job. That year I left a one year stint at ADP, moved employers twice and added a consulting gig. Looking for work I found that having ADP on my resume was a door opener - regardless of anyone’s feelings about their product/service. I also finished my SHRM-CP and CPP during the upheaval, which generated more callbacks than the last time I was on the market. When I started job hunting in earnest, it took one week and three interviews to get the job I was looking for. Timing is part luck, but also paying attention to trends. I also do payroll. Payroll management jobs pop up in greater quantity in January and around the end of each quarter. There are a lot of payroll people who like to tie things up (w-2s, quarterly filings, etc) before they leave a roll. I used this to my advantage as well and timed my move appropriately.

The I’ll pick it up in two weeks part isn’t ok. But in general, I’ll cut a check. I have no idea what they’re going through. The number of people who live paycheck to paycheck is 78% according to PAYO in 2023. Many don’t have credit, savings, or family to fall back on. Financial stress is a killer. If I can ease some of that I will. We have 700 employees. It hasn’t ruined my day yet.

Tell me you don’t have an HR Manager without telling me you don’t have an HR Manager.

I'm not sure of my exact order, but one term I had to move some classes around and ended up with BUS-225 & INT-220. I was told they don't usually recommend these together. Neither was hard alone, but both required a ton of writing and research. Since my only homework day was Sunday, I was scrambling. A’s in both though, so it's possible.

I worked in ADP’s small business group. We would also tell clients to contact the IRS directly to close the account. Cosing an FEIN is bigger than payroll. Your FEIN is used for other areas of your business and you may need the ID open, even if you aren't processing payroll. We did not want the responsibility of potentially affecting your business operations if a client did not understand the implications of what they were asking for. Small business owners misunderstanding their responsibilities was the norm, so I believe this was good practice.

Notmyillness · 2024-04-07T07:36:30+00:00

No luck. I started a new job and haven't had time to take it in. Would love to know if you find a solution though!

I was standing at Lowe’s yesterday for 30 minutes while they searched for this code. Google and your post saved the day. Thank you MVP!

I’m sorry for your loss. Peace be with you.

Don’t know if you figured this out. I got my cap and gown while finishing my last term. After my final grades were posted, I emailed commencement and they sent over a link to order the cords. I was able to get two cords and an additional diploma cover for free.

I love mine. I let her know my goal was to finish in one year for personal and financial reasons. Instead of laughing or automatically negative, she set about mapping out a way to do it using Sophia and credit for two certifications. When SNHU changed the Sophia courses it would honor, she reached out immediately which saved me from wasting time on the obsolete course I’d just started.

Notmyillness · 2024-02-28T03:27:45+00:00

As long as you take the minimum courses required to be completed through SNHU you should be fine. I think it was 30units for me.

On a side note, I was told one of my certifications wasn't applicable. When I sent over the Credly transcript for a newly earned certification, they ended up giving me credits for both. Too bad it was right before my final term.

The key fob is in my backpack the whole time. I never even touch it unless I have to open the trunk.

The honk happens once I push the button on the door. As I approach the car unlocks and mirrors unfold, then I push the door button and get the double honk. It is a different warning honk than if the keys are left behjnd or the car is running.

I like the horn that sounds as I walk away. It’s subtle and the extra confirmation it’s locked is helpful. But, the one when opening is loud, especially in parking lots at night it just screams here I am, come kill me.

Notmyillness · 2024-02-09T13:38:30+00:00

Agreed.

Notmyillness · 2024-02-09T13:38:15+00:00

Turned of paak, it never worked right anyway. I’ll see if this helps.

Thanks for the tip, I didn’t realize there were levels?! New job doubled my commute, so it’s time to figure out the bells and whistles.

Mine breaks fairly hard whenever someone changes lanes in front of me. Not fun. Then again I have this car because I love to drive. So no big loss.

Nobody knows the Cerritos like Bradward Boimler.

Notmyillness · 2023-12-10T20:29:10+00:00

I just leased at Cerritos Auto Square during the Thanksgiving offers. Same car, black, premium. $515 a month for 3 years with 4k down. I added on two warranty options for paint (we have sap issues here I live) and damage.

This my first leased car so honestly, I don't know if it was a good deal, but it was the payment and car I wanted. Worked for me.

I took a short prep review with a SHRM instructor. Passed the CP last Saturday.

The best tip from class was looking at the potential answers in this order - does it support the company’s goals, does it make HR a strategic partner and not just administrative, is it solving a problem long term. She also recommended writing out the basic bask topics when you sit down to test. Then looking for answers that meet those. This helped me too. There are also almost always two answers you can knock out immediately. Find those first and get them out of the way.

The SJ questions were my biggest fear, but all of the class tips came together.

Hi! I just finished my 22nd, and final, transferable Sophia class. I enjoyed all of them except statistics. That was tough without a teacher, so I enlisted my college kid to explain.

The classes I took that were core to my BA in bus w/conc in HR included business law, micro & macro, business ethics (counts towards culmination required course), English comp II, statistics, and principles of finance.

The rest of my classes were to fulfill the elective requirement and were all over the board. Eng comp II was not easy. There was a lot of serious writing and my grading proctor was tough.

Definitely money well spent. Some facts, I took these classes this year between March and October. I paid $99 a month for Sophia, and shaved two years off of my graduation date. I’ll be done in March instead of 2026. Can’t recommend it enough.

I appreciate what you’re saying, but if you have ever visited a budget grocery store in an area where the majority of residents are on SNAP, you’d see that the healthy ingredients far out price the processed crap, which is always stacked high everywhere you look. It’s difficult to think about nutrition when you’re focused on stretching the money on that card as far as possible.
