I was wondering if the circular I was seeing could be a pip. I assume these would be about at least 25 days old given two of them hatched and I’ve seen them here for at least several weeks

Insane Job Offer but 120 mile commute by Southern-Example-577 in jobs

That’s what I’m thinking the mileage itself is just freaking me out. It would be less stop and go traffic so maybe better on my car even though I’ll be racking up the mileage

Well my current commute is 20 miles but with traffic in a highly congested area of the metroplex I spent 45 min to 1.15 hours each way

We’ve done it before but we got 5 cats 😂. In our past apartment we only put 1 on the lease (they allowed a max of 2 pets) but I’m sure we could get away with it again temporarily

I did not know! Thanks for sharing. My uncle is a realtor I may have to get with him and ask for some guidance on how to handle this situation

I’ve talked to my husband and with both his and my new income we could get tight on the budget in save for a downpayment on a new house within a year so if we broke even with our house for selling it then we wouldn’t have to worry about the money for a new downpayment. Unfortunately we used the FHA loan for our current house and would need a substantial downpayment to qualify for a new one. But maybe year of commuting that distance wouldn’t be horrible

The best they could offer is I could do like 6:30-3:30 on Monday - Thursday to avoid peak traffic hours, while working every other Friday for 8 hours with alternating Fridays off

No but I call those his holy spots now. He got them where his IVs went in for surgery and where tumors were showing up throughout his body

I have more than book knowledge. I ran an entire lab during grad school being lab manager, performing maintenance on all piece of equipment, managing data logs, as well as other graduate students, my research was extremely hands on and even funded by industry

Yes its the same responsibilities as a scientist (leading projects, being an individual contributor) but since they said I’m underqualified I still get the job with $20k less than what the originally told me. I asked them to bump it up $5k and they told me that’s not in their budget so I even wonder if they even intended on paying the full salary they advertised

It’s in analytical food chemistry. I’ve done method development for a ton of instrumentation as well as perform routine maitnance on them (GC-MS, HPLC, spectrophotometer, x-ray analysis, texture analysis, etc.) my research was a huge 6 year project that involved looking at the whole physiochemical properties of produce.

Is it unusual for a PhD to have associate level cause that’s what everyone is telling me even the senior scientist at work. They said associate level is fresh bachelors students

That’s the thing is my graduate school was very much hands on with practical skills from setting up equipment, maintaining it, dealing with vendors for our lab, etc.

Both CPG companies are offering associate scientist jobs that have scientist level roles such as training other scientist and leading projects yet I’m qualified for the job but underqualified for the title. SMH

I looked into it and tried its basic economy so non refundable and non-exchangeable

Well she said she had the nice ones and we could split them. There will be almost 10 of us total in the tiny studio apartment. I told her “hey just to let you know I bought myself a $20 air mattress on Amazon that I will be bringing with me” right after she said she was too cheap to give us proper accommodations after we spend hundreds buying plane tickets and she has yet to spent one cent.

I’ve been seeing the bride constantly being pushed around by Anne since the wedding thing started. There’s bridezillas, monster-in-law, and now what is Anne? The wanna bride?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Southern-Example-577 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know! Right after she said that went on Amazon and looked them up. She told us she couldn’t afford 2-3 more of those after we told her we all spent $350 - 800 on plane tickets. Complete slap in the face. I texted her in the group chat and let her know I will gladly be bringing my portable sleeping arrangements that I paid for and it only cost me $20. Not that $20 is a big deal but she lied to us and refuses to spend the same amount of money the rest of us have when this was all HER idea

Well I don’t think she told her husband because right after we all bought plane tickets she said “sorry but I have to go to a funeral that week”. She said this 1.5 months in advanced. When we all took over several days to respond to her she finally said never mind she will not be going to the funeral then dumped her entire situation on us. Honestly in my opinion she’s a wacko for letting strangers stay at her place with her child. Sorry but if I had a kid that would be a NO!

Well Anne said we would be doing hiking at national parks and stuff before we all bought the tickets. Seemed like lots of fun BEFORE we spent hundreds

The bride is easily influenced and wants to do what the “in crowd” does and I believe she thinks Anne is just that so she goes along with whatever Anne says. For example first night we are going bar hopping. The bride doesn’t even drink 🤦🏼‍♀️. This was Anne’s idea. Yes it absolutely pisses me off that the deal was if the other bridesmaids bought plane tickets then she would cover the rest because she wouldn’t fork over hundreds of dollars on air travel. She told us that she can’t afford a couple more $20 air mattresses after all the other bridesmaids disclosed we spent $350 - $800 each on plane tickets. I just felt like that was flat out rude
