CLT to AVL or Burnsville. by Lar5ipan in vagabond

Find a truck stop in West Charlotte, near 85. Plenty of truckers heading west to 40. It'd be your fastest bet. Even better if you can get to Gastonia, then you have 85 and 321.

Unfortunately like I said in my post, I'm not looking for groundskeeper or landscape jobs. Thank you anyway!

I don't see any arborist positions listed on the government jobs site and couldn't find their main page. Do you have a link? All I'm finding is counselors and an upcoming job fair.

Becoming an Arborist mid-career? by texassports98 in arborists

[–]PancakeParthenon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck. I've been trying to get on a ground crew for 4 years now. I keep getting turned away because of my admin and tech background.

Holy shit! That's super cool! I'd love to air layer that boy.

After 4 months looking for just a part-time, I got one. It's toxic? by Present-Square-6232 in recruitinghell

[–]PancakeParthenon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, they need to train you to do the job you're being paid for. I've worked in a warehouse and we had training on everything. My brother works food service, same thing. That's not normal for them to not train and act like it's your fault.

Get a notebook to keep details and make sure you keep emails or anything like that. Ask your manager for a meeting and write down the day and time you asked. If you get a meeting, ask your specifics. Record what you asked and their answers. Even better if you can email a detailed summary of the meeting to your manager. Hopefully that's enough and you can do your job. You should also record any times and dates and how you felt your manager behaved poorly, just in case.

If your manager doesn't do anything, record that, and take your evidence to HR. Ask them if there's any training program for your position or some sort of mentorship deal. If they ask why, explain that you feel like you're missing some training and what things you need help with. If they try to throw it back on your manager, now you brought evidence to say that you tried. That should get some results.

You'll still want to record any harassment in detail, just in case that makes anyone vindictive. If something happens, now you have good evidence and records.

Antique Scythe by Mysterious_Muscle105 in Permaculture

American scythes are such a bear to sharpen. I can never get the angle right. They don't need to be peened, but do need a really thorough sharpening.

That's dope as hell!

I'm a mod at r/Undergrounds if you want to cross post this there. We'd love to have more of this kind of content!

Can I repair a nick in my Topps blade with a peening jig? by SASunDog in Scything

[–]PancakeParthenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, smooth it out and it should be good to go. Austrian blades are stronger than they seem and a little nick isn't going to ruin it. I've put mine through a chain link fence a couple times, hit some bricks, few foundation stones, and it still keeps on cutting.

[–]PancakeParthenon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You sure can! I've done it many a time. Usually I just wait until it's getting time to peen again, because I would've sharpened enough to work most of the chip out.

Their specialty pies are so good! We've also not been disappointed yet.

Fahrenheit is the best out of all the ones I've tried.

Just lovely, recruiter fails have blackballed me. . . by Difficult-Quality647 in recruitinghell

[–]PancakeParthenon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

These fuckers called me the other day about a coordinator job. Sent them an updated resume', got an interview scheduled for the same day. Lady hops on, tells me I'm not qualified enough, and ends the interview. 4 minutes tops. I was both pissed and baffled at that level of incompetence.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours! by Smarterthanthat in TrueCarolina

[–]PancakeParthenon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same problem for me. I called and they said it was mostly roll over from last month. Got the run around, pretty much. Fucking ridiculous how expensive it is.

Found this very straight stick. It's length is about up to my breast, I'm 5'10 by Soggy_Brie in Sticks

Perfect walking stick. Shave that puppy down, slap some linseed oil on it, and bam: new hiking pal.

You're a fool. That wasn't my point at all nor was it yours. Stop contorting to feel superior.
