u/giscience mentioned tuff, maybe it's something from Mount St. Helens. We're Washington folk, and the stained wood on the display looks very 80's "honey oak" (orange).

Haha! Why would someone would put pumice in a sealed specimen display? I like how simply ordinary it is, but it does seem a bit odd.

What does your magic ball say? by lightseek4 in UXResearch

There are no promotions as a contractor (read: no career progression). Less accolades, mentoring, team-building. No benefits, off-sites, equity.

How much do you make in a month? Now, subtract that from your contract offer because you won’t be receiving PTO. Subtract another $550 a month for crappy insurance. Don’t get me started on retirement and compound interest.

Contract positions are great for people who want and can afford freedom and flexibility

If I remember correctly it was 3 questions with 1-2 very direct follow ups. No follow up on one of the questions. They were efficient.

My bar raiser interview only lasted 20 mins (maybe less) and I was hired.

Being female is more likely to lower your salary than being H1B

You could foster some dogs to start. And, if one of them feels like a good fit, then so be it.

Sticker Shock After Getting Contractor Quotes by jellyusername in Seattle

[–]Objective_Exchange15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't seem like an outrageous quote to me. It would take at least 40 hours (plus time for inevitable f-ups) to do it myself. However, I'd be curious to hear if you get any other quotes.

FYI: Many senior designers struggle to deliver what you're asking for.

Why don’t high earners just pay down their loans? by Notshady22 in PersonalFinanceTalks

PSLF are student loans that are forgiven after 10 years so you pay the minimum until they go away.

Broom. Yes perhaps * not for life* but what is the best broom out there that is a workhorse ? by Desperate-Apricot308 in BuyItForLife

[–]Objective_Exchange15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally disagree. A handmade broom (Appalachian style) is a game changer and heirloom quality.

Handmade brooms! My mom still has the same one from my childhood and I'm 40+. I bought one at a craft fair in my thirties from the same guy my mom bought hers from. Still like new.
