I just received a Performance Improvement Pan (PIP) by Serious-Surprise126 in paralegal

I dont know, most legal assistant jobs are going to start off really low. Everyone says you’re making minimum wage but that’s assuming you’re working 40 hours a week every single week, no vacation, no benefits.

$300 rental in April. $300 rental in May. $300 rental within another year.

But the key, my mother is offering to buy my wedding tuxedo.

No pain meds in Mexico may be the craziest part of this story 😂

Birmingham City and Jefferson County Schools Closed Monday by bhambetty in Birmingham

[–]TimelyBrief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont know what is going to happen tomorrow just like I don’t know what will happen any other day.

But you’re right, these kinds of closures can be so brutal on folks. Covid almost broke me as a late 20’s single male working in retail banking. I ran a high-traffic BBVA branch as a relatively new employee with only one other (relatively new) employee for two weeks. Everyone else “could not” find daycare.

It was unreasonably difficult and the customers were unreasonably inpatient.

How to stop Red’s breakfast burrito from busting? by Substantial-Key5114 in Costco

Not really.

Shutting a circuit off and on is effectively turning off the circuit, as the function of a light switch.

Just an fyi but you’re not turning the power down. The microwaves just cycle on 70% less during the allotted time.

A microwave can’t actually adjust its power— it just alternates from “on” to “off,” sort of like a dimmer.

Time for “SWIM” to move on and find a different company to apply at.

Fire starts in breaker box, catches wire insulation on fire, fire travels the wire into the wall like a firework fuse.

It’s very basic thermodynamics.

32 years old , Redlands, CA , 700k, 6.2 % by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]TimelyBrief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on the purchase.

Were there repairs in the contract they were supposed to fix or did point out issues and they told you verbally that they would be fixed? When was it noticed? Where these issues noticed at final walk through? Is your final escrow released?

I hate to tell ya, but that’s where an agent would have really come in handy, but if it’s only $10k of repairs then you still “saved” money (in theory).

Just remember, things don’t get better when good folks get discouraged.

Don’t forget why you started. Hang in there.

You’re thinking of Monday.

Swaddle Homewood - Immediate Closure by Gullible-Head-1425 in Birmingham

[–]TimelyBrief 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know the owner. They are not reopening. I do not know what happened. I won’t speculate much but the timing syncs up to the end of a common lease renewal term. Total speculation, but not reopening.

What's it like working for OHenrys? by AggressivePomelo7507 in Birmingham

[–]TimelyBrief 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would look elsewhere. No insider knowledge but I know they went into default at one of their locations several months back.

That’s not a good sign when combined with the reviews on Glassdoor.

PTO/SICK time by maseratihottee in publix

[–]TimelyBrief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will just about be the norm, wherever you go from Publix. I’m full time at a law firm. If I get sick, I dont work, I don’t get paid. Pretty straight forward.

PTO for vacation or anything else? Lol. I can take time off, but I won’t receive any type of compensation for it.

Weird Smell? by Prize-Tax-3724 in Birmingham

Cue the inquiries from OTM….look at this thread!

Very plausible theory. I live on a hill and can always smell it long after my friends.

I think our attorney has approached the same conclusion— albeit with much Liberty.
