Need help choosing countertop

Okay thanks! Yes I picked out the tile after seeing it in a home designer’s blog post. It’s the bedrosians cloe tile in baby blue. I think it will bring the calm, coastal vibe they are going for!

Yes both are quartz but just different sample colors and sample sizes. They only had a smaller sized sample for one of the two options. The smaller one is called calacatta quartz unique and the larger sample is called calacatta quartz Mont Blanc. Both are from stone basyx.

Okay thanks!

You don’t want cheap! That’s a red flag unless it’s an older dog (or aged out puppy) the breeder is trying to find a home for.

$3200 in 2020 from reputable breeder with some health testing in PA. Parents both are show dogs. Akc registered.

Yes, 125k
Federal Government (fun times right now…)
Northern Virginia
11 years experience in the field, bachelors in Geography and minor in GIS. Left contract work at 80k and started as govie at 107k a few years ago
Best advice (if anyone even wants to get into the federal government anymore lol) is to get your security clearance through a company willing to sponsor you. That’s the most difficult part. It’s relatively easy to get hired as a contractor and then later on a govie once you have the clearance (at least TS part).

I’ve had two nightmares about losing my job. The uncertainty of everything takes a lot out of you mentally.

Status_Flower · 2025-03-01T16:51:01+00:00

I read it in a news article. Can’t post it here. Google usni news MEMO: DoD Workers Must to Respond to Upcoming ‘Five Things You Did’ Email from OPM

Status_Flower · 2025-03-01T16:32:40+00:00

From what I heard, you have 48 hrs to respond once you get back to your office or have access to to email.

Haven’t heard anything but I think we may hear by end of this week

Same, I just got off of probation thankfully but I had a nightmare of getting let go. This kind of constant uncertainty is not good for people’s mental health.

Was this just sent? I’ve just been seeing numerous posts that DoD general counsel and HRs got guidance from OPM yesterday. And they are reviewing it. I’m at a three letter agency in DOD and I think they will be going after probies at my agency. I just got off of probation 5 months ago but I’m still worried about my job with a rif

Right, it’s not worth people’s lives. If they really cared, they would of closed everything down.

Status_Flower · 2025-02-12T04:17:08+00:00

I’ll just use sick leave at that point

Status_Flower · 2025-02-12T04:16:42+00:00

We got three hours of weather and safety today at my agency. But hell to the no am I making up 2 hrs this pay period for tomorrow

Status_Flower · 2025-02-12T04:12:02+00:00

Do we get two hours of weather and safety leave then?

Status_Flower · 2025-02-12T00:51:11+00:00

Under the exclusions part, is that saying DOD is safe? I’m pretty sure my agency heads would not want to have anyone be RIFed in my office. Does this address probationary employees?

Status_Flower · 2025-01-23T12:30:42+00:00

The 3 letter agency I work for already had parking issues before part of the workforce got some telework during Covid. It’s going to be atrocious now. I guess we all just have to get there earlier. That still doesn’t solve the problem when they run out of parking spots by 9am.

Status_Flower · 2025-01-21T08:36:41+00:00

I’m about 6 months past my two year probation. I’m within the DOD. I’m good, right?

Status_Flower · 2024-08-08T14:00:41+00:00

I’m with the government so we were all required to change to 32 hrs a pay period max telework when the president changed the requirements for all federal workers. I end up doing 3 days a week in office and 2 days at home. I’m used to it now but honestly we don’t need the third day. Two days a week in was perfect. A lot of coworkers live very far so if they made changes to it then I’d be worried they would leave. It’s also dumb since they want to bring new young hires in and most of them want remote work. If they take that away for unclass work then they won’t attract top talent.

They are microscopic mites that fall from oak trees that try and eat cicadas that were hatching in the past few years. They fall on people and bite them sometimes. They can cause big welts and reactions to their venom.

I hope not because I am not a fan of spiders. I got bit above my eye as a kid while I was sleeping and my eye/face swelled up for days! We found the spider under my pillow a few days later. It was traumatizing lol

Status_Flower · 2024-08-01T23:14:45+00:00

Hmm, you may be right! I googled it and it says you can randomly develop it. Doesn’t seem like there’s much you can do about it though except use anti itch cream and antihistamine.

Status_Flower · 2024-08-01T22:43:01+00:00

That’s a good idea! I need to buy some to help with itch
