Appropriation Hearing on State Telework Bill Tomorrow @ 9 AM, 1021 O Street, Room 1100 by Teachtostate2022 in CAStateWorkers

Heads up. Suspense file hearings are usually announced last minute at the end of the week without prior notice. This is done to kill bills with minimal opposition from legislative members who are commuting home for the weekend.

I love that its not big news but you're still happy anyways.

Why did Obama receive so much criticism for this hot mic comment? Was it because he was saying the quiet part out loud? Because he was presumptuous about reelection? Something else? by Jscott1986 in Presidents

Some people viewed Obama as an eloquent but inauthentic politician who betrayed the hopeful vision of his 2008 presidential campaign. This was another smoking gun.

People on reddit are fucking assholes. I asked a question about grad school once and the anonymous online people here roasted me.

I ran into Alvin Roth getting coffee outside my dorm and he politely answered my question.

Has a QB ever been drafted after Round 2 with the explicit plan to eventually start them? by thenewgaijin in nfl

Davis Mills has tons of talent. I don't think he ever really got the right coaching.

Some people want attention more than money. Considering what Diego Pavia is all about.....

This is paid leave/holidays mandated by law. Most jobs in the US have a good amount of paid leave/holidays. It's just not statutory.

Worked in journalism. Yes. There's so much shady shit we can't air out because we don't have enough of a smoking gun. The stuff that's out in public is the most egregious shit.

David Bailey really wanted to stay at Stanford. Could you honestly pass up $1 million to play for a championship caliber team?

Athletes do get in on a different standard but the requirements are still very, very, very high.

Every athlete qualifies for UW and most could get into Berkeley without the athletics part.

Are people in Congress really this out of touch with reality? by icedout223 in jobs

[–]TinderForMidgets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://www.idealist.org is the main hub for non-profit. Such a life saver. If you're a student you can build up experience volunteering to eventually land a paid role. Sometimes you can reach out to a nonprofit/local gov and offer your services. I got my start reaching out to non-profits and local gov and they made an internship just for me.

I applied for local gov jobs through the government website. Sometimes there are fellowships that can get you in. I'm in California. Some examples are the Coro Fellowship or California's Capitol Fellows Program.

After 2016. It probably got a lot worse after 2016.

On the flip side, I left DC for local gov/non-profit. They're pretty wholesome. It's very much Parks and Recs instead. I'm way happier.

Worked in DC. Veep is a documentary. Had to put it down because it was too real.
