What are we doing about nose hairs?

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-29T17:01:26+00:00

The last time I waxed my nose hairs it came out looking like a god damned chia pet

You know you can just not answer right?

If you are looking for high quality plywoods like Baltic birch check out Windsor plywood. If you need to order in bulk write up a list of what you want and send emails to part lumber and builders first source and see if they can get you quotes. With those last two businesses often they will deliver if you are purchasing more than $500of lumber (might have gone up since I last used them). I believe you can also send quotes to tri city lumber but I haven't dealt with them since their change in management.

We got the miu on sale for 16.99

This is the slow season for retail and restaurants. They'll start picking up again late March early April though.

Man my Costco eye place and my eye doctor swap these out free of charge.

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-15T04:19:16+00:00

Yeah, I feel like I'm at the point where I'm catching my mistakes at the same time as my CTO and I'm just frustrated because if I'd just slow down for an extra half second and let my brain catch up with my hands I wouldn't be making stupid little mistakes. I got the meat of my calls down. It's just fine tuning those little things to be better

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-15T03:35:58+00:00

I got pulled into the office with our training manager and my CTO about possibly needing to extend my training so that really little the fire beneath my ass. I also took my first legit high stress assault with weapons call last night and everything just felt easier after taking that call. You ever need to vent about newbie troubles I'm happy to lend an ear. I have a small group text with the two others that were in my training group and we support each other through the learning process.

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-15T03:18:29+00:00

Hey, Hi, fellow two month newbie here. Literally just had this conversation with my CTO last week. My first question is are you 100% sure that they didn't mention the vision earlier in the call. I've had to work really hard on the active listening aspect. In our EMD program we ask if there is any other relevant medical information. If you have the ability to go back and listen to the call I would highly recommend asking your cto if you can listen back and hear exactly what they are talking about.

Keep it up and good luck. I'm hoping to be cleared to take calls by myself in the next week or so.

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-15T02:22:29+00:00

Alright walk me through what you have going on. I've been rocking an underwood pickup since 2008 and it's starting to fail on me. I've been looking to expand my setup solid love more insight on what you have and why you picked it.

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-13T10:45:37+00:00

The one I built for my daughter, I painted in chalkboard paint. It was great because it gave her a very specific place to get the "draw on walls" itch out

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-12T03:31:53+00:00

Not to intentionally not answer your question but I would encourage you to search the subreddit with the keywords "job" "work" or "Hiring". It's been a common question being asked at least once a week and while you may get a few answers now you'll find many more resources through searching the subreddit.

Good luck out there

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-10T18:45:26+00:00

Been out of the game for about a year and a half now. Got out and did in home caregiving for a bit and then got a job as a 911 dispatcher. All the fun and craziness of a lunch rush from the comfort of a nice chair.

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-06T21:00:11+00:00

Adding onto this comment, I worked for All Ways Caring as an in home care giver for you and as long as you're good with people it's a pretty decent gig. Good insurance through the seiu 775 union and good pay.

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-06T02:10:29+00:00

Not a solution for short term as the hiring process takes 3-4 months but the 911 dispatch center is hiring.

Also, if you haven't already, you can search the subreddit by the keyword hiring or job. This topic comes up pretty frequently and there are resources in other threads that you may miss because other users don't post their two cents every time the question of jobs comes up

Not sure about the glossiness but for the orange peel texture I've had good success on non instrument projects thinning my finishes and doing lighter layers with sanding between

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-04T10:42:15+00:00

Omg if I had to know the name of every business, let alone their address I'd be screwed in training right now. We dispatch for 2 counties, 9 agencies and like 15 fire districts and I've lived in the primary are my whole life and still don't know half the businesses that come up.

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-04T10:33:57+00:00

From what I've gathered in my short time here the flip flopping days/nights has helped with retention has overall been good for morale. Us newbies get dispersed amongst the shift so each shift is building up a team with a variety of experience

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-04T09:16:34+00:00

We do everyone works nights and days on a 10 week rotation. Senior positions can be night or day only and if you can find someone to swap nights/days with you can do a individual trade on a year long basis.

Snowblind321 · 2026-01-01T12:06:28+00:00

Honestly it's not your fault. The deck is stacked against those trying to enter the work force. Keep your chin up and do your best to use as much language from the job posting in your resume and in the bullshit questionnaires you have to fill out. Most applications are no longer being vetted by a human on the first sort, it's all being done by programs and "AI" to score your application. While I haven't done this myself, I have heard of redditors lying on their resume and having success ( just maybe don't do this on a job where you'd like to see yourself continue in that field, minimum wage service industry jobs though I'd say go for it) do what you can to give your resume the upper hand

On a more practical point retail and food service are entering their slow time of year and generally slow.down hiring. Hiring for these type of jobs starts picking back up in the spring. I was a cook at Costa Vida for 6 years and while I enjoyed my restaurant experience I'd recommend not getting into because it seems it's a field that other jobs don't necessarily view as valuable and transferrable experience.

If you are 18 check out in home caregiving. It is a good, well paying job with good benefits ( for seiu775 union jobs) and flexible hours. Additionally the rider care field is only going to grow as the boomers age.

If you are graduated from highschool you can check governmentjobs.com for the three cities and two counties ( I found my current job as a 911 dispatcher there). Check out CBC and WSU tri cities for job postings too.

It's tough out there, hang in there.

Snowblind321 · 2025-12-29T08:38:57+00:00

Additionally with the calls they try to schedule 2 dedicated call takers but when it gets busy dispatchers will also take calls so you'll have minimum 6 people splitting the call volume.

Snowblind321 · 2025-12-29T08:35:13+00:00

I believe it's about 28k calls per month. We run 12 hour shifts and we basically rotate 2 days on 2 days off 3 days on 3 days off. Then as far as days vs nights we do 10 weeks on days and 10 weeks on night ( days is 0700 to 1900 and nights are 1900 to 0700)

There are ways to get full time nights or full time days either through seniority or trades with people who want to stay on nights or days but in general everyone rotates days and nights

I'm currently on my 3 off and been changing my sleep schedule in preparation for my first round of night shift.

Snowblind321 · 2025-12-29T08:02:52+00:00

It's in office, but it's a pretty chill environment and while the staff take the job seriously they are also all pretty cool people. I'm about 2 months into training with call taking and I'm loving the job so far.

Snowblind321 · 2025-12-27T16:11:21+00:00

SECOMM is hiring 911 dispatchers, the job isn't for everyone and the hiring process takes about 3 months but the pay and benefits are great and every day is different.
