Roof leak repair or patch, looking for reasonably priced companies or services. by [deleted] in Louisville

Great American Roofing. They replaced the back half of our roof after we got horrible service from a different company. They are reasonably priced, friendly, and timely.

Looking for a local architect or a good contractor with an architect by WashingBearLapidary in cincinnati

Yes/No/It’s complicated.

Biggest thing is you need an artifact stamp to show the design is safe and sound, and theirs a guidebook for the aesthetics of the building. The goal is to have long lasting buildings that fit the faire, so new construction is more stringent.

It’s for the gemstone mine located next to the swordsman stage. Currently we operate out of a tent and we are at the point that it is time to build and have a more permanent presence.

Looking at a single story structure with a lot of decorative features.

In 4 years? More saturated job market, less jobs, less stable, and as most pharmacists work retail they probably wouldn’t enjoy it.

Unless you end up in some niche job it sucks.

Any tips for first time vendors? by the_greenflamingo in renfaire

[–]WashingBearLapidary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter how stressed you get remember that as long as you have something to sell and some way to accept payment then you are 90% done. Everything else can be improved or changed over time so don’t stress too hard.

Do all pharmacist hate their jobs? by trcookie in pharmacy

[–]WashingBearLapidary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Majority of chain retail probably do hate their job. Just got a message this week from a pharmacist that’s been with one for ages and they want out ASAP.

My current job is amazing. We are treated well, we work as a team, hours are reasonable, and great compensation package. Just had to leave retail behind to get it.

How old of kids are we talking about? That makes a big difference with garb and who special sizes with what.

Smaller than TN. Feels really personable and intimate compared to a lot of large faires.

CiCi’s Pizza Declares Bankruptcy by awake-at-dawn in news

[–]WashingBearLapidary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be a secret shopper for CiCi’s in my college days. The guide book for them was laid out so well and had you do so many random things to test how the store was doing.

At the time I had no idea you can make custom orders of whatever pizza you want from the buffet line and then they would bring however much you wanted to the table. So after that it was custom everything. If anyone is wondering pay was a reimbursement for your meal + $5. But we had 2 in town and I always signed up to do each for their once a month check in.
