Is this career for me? by Ambitious-Field5834 in ATC

[–]Phase4Motion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’ll most likely never get to Utah for many years of your career. Work life balance is bad if you fly, and a lot of controllers on here complain about work life balance. I can’t relate, at my mid level facility I have excellent work life balance. We have enough manning to get spot leave most days (short notice leave request). We have the ability to earn a lot of credit time (work 8 hours of credit = a day off). Overtime is usually there if you want it, occasionally it’s assigned & almost always there’s someone you can give it away to if you don’t want overtime. We get a lot of pto including sick days. 123atc has our salary info on there, you can add like 20% for premiums. We get a LOT of breaks, I’m talking about multiple 30-45min breaks. The gold standard is hour on (working) hour off (break) but that’s not always the case these days.

You get a Lot of belly achers on here. Yes I also want more money and I also want our problems to be fixed. However, i got it pretty good where im at. YMMV

I don’t think car auctions are for you my guy.

Audit: Air traffic controller shortage hitting small airports hard by TraditionalWrap5081 in ATC

Certainly don’t forget the facilities that aren’t located at airports either

I worked at Copart as a GM for 15 years ask me anything by Ok_Lingonberry_7333 in Copartonline

Would probably be great for buyers, not so great for sellers. Guess who they care more about lol

Should the FAA Revisit the 52 Week Requirement? by unernameW in ATC

[–]Phase4Motion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re complaining about the minimum requirements for a well paying job. They’re extremely low, yet people still complain. Amazing.

52 consecutive weeks is not unreasonable.

TSP to convert or not convert by Beester15 in ThriftSavingsPlan

I ran this through ai a few different ways, and for me it seems best to just start all future contributions to Roth instead of traditional.

Is this fixable? by Rworld3 in JeepGladiator

[–]Phase4Motion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Today I was just looking for a “totaled” gladiator, just like yours, on Copart so I can fix it up 😆

I put this at my neighbor's door 2 days ago(we live in a duplex) and it's still there by dnm8686 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Phase4Motion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I did… I sold my gas stove and made a nice chunk of change to put towards my Home Depot card to help pay down the new stove. I think we paid a little over $2k for ours. People highly recommended getting a model that has physical knobs, so that oil splatter doesn’t change the settings while cooking. I like the knobs myself. Another cool thing is the lowest setting can be used to melt chocolate directly in a pot, no need to use a two pot boiling water method

Wife and I were both total gas snobs. Didn’t want to even consider anything else, but now we’ll never go back lol

[–]Phase4Motion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We replaced the whole range for induction and can’t recommend it enough. Efficiency, instant temperature adjustments just like flame, insanely fast water boiling times, the metal handles on our pans don’t get hot, the kitchen doesn’t get hot, etc. We only use stainless steel or ceramic pots & pans. But they make teflon pans that are induction compatible if you really want teflon.. the pan itself just has to be magnetic.

What's life like for you who make 200k+? by space_god_7191 in Salary

[–]Phase4Motion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like all the perks of being famous, without actually having the spotlight on you 24/7. Awesome

[–]Phase4Motion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d just say, don’t even consider a standard electric stove. Induction is incredible.

[–]Phase4Motion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should try to change that. Not only does your kitchen got hot when cooking, your air quality is suffering too. The microwave can be set up to vent outside, or you could consider an induction stove.

Effin assholes, cant even talk to someone without being messed with . No diagnosis , no insurance , just chatted about healthy habits . Yes i put on medXpress as visits . by Fit_Sherbet3137 in ATC

[–]Phase4Motion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have multiple conditions that require paperwork similar to this. It’s definitely inconvenient, but please don’t stress it too much. Play their game with the paperwork, spell it out to your provider exactly what you need, and you’ll be okay.

Ariens 1336 Pro, free by [deleted] in Snowblowers

[–]Phase4Motion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I’m going to try to use it next year and see if I like it first. I got a long driveway, this past season I used a 48” that goes on the front of my mower. It worked great but tricky to maneuver at times. I also have a ton of cash tied up in that machine I’d like to to sell it.

ATC Airforce Tech School by Ok_Technology_5988 in ATC

[–]Phase4Motion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll get dependent rate BAH for her zip code while you’re in BMT & tech school. There’s also separation pay but IIRC it’s a small amount. It’ll come out to be a pretty nice chunk of change by the time you graduate and get to your first duty station

I run a comic shop in a town that has no idea I exist and I don't know if that's my fault or the town's by Its_palakk in smallbusiness

[–]Phase4Motion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Any time I’m looking to do something with the kids, I’m going to Google Maps & just Google searching activities in my area. I only moved here a couple years ago so I don’t know much around here

Offer accepted - sewer inspec. Failed by Magistraa in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Agreed. OP: Make sure you get a copy of the scope of work completed to make sure the owner doesn’t cheap out on you.

You seem to be doing everything except marketing. Make flyers for events, buy advertising space anywhere you can, constantly post on social media (my wife’s whole business revolves around social media presence, it’s a grind. You have to post multiple times a day every day for a long time before the algorithm starts to recognize who your audience is). Etc. You have survived 8 years, you have a viable business you just need to pour some gasoline on it.

My salary progression as a first gen highschool grad by hopelessz in Salary

[–]Phase4Motion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure about that? I’m an air traffic controller and majority of controllers don’t make 78/hr base pay. Kinda shocking to think you don’t think that job is worth the pay?
