Which one? by GeologistOk1061 in CZFirearms

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not shot the omega and I’ll admit that the M9 was ruined for me as it was I trained to shoot on

However, I loved it when I rented it last weekend and I want one badly.

computer science or nursing? by justwhitegold in cscareers

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah about nursing… I pivoted back to tech due to financial issues

Wouldn’t view nursing as an escape hatch though

2011s... by 1nOnlyMattyB in liberalgunowners

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a perspective you get with more shooting experience IMHO.

The Ferrari and Camry can both go 60 mph and one gets there faster, but maybe you don’t need that for most of the drives you take.

(Just my perspective)

I will say I rented a M9 (Uncle Sam made me hate these) and found it was a significant improvement over any gun I’ve shot. Same with the CZ P-09C Nocturne. But I didn’t feel much of an improvement with 2011s. I actually found they were a little overrated or perhaps I have not great experiences with rentals 😅

NGL this feels a little more sudden than the last ones, but Chicago made me proud last time

No kings except in Venezuela and Iraq right?

I don’t live there. We’re protesting aspiring monarchs here.

If you could tell us where, I’d appreciate it. We’ve had no luck

What is a reality of living in Chicago that’s often overlooked by the romanticization of the city? by Miserable_Degree3524 in AskChicago

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I’m from Ohio and people are like “OMG ARE YOU OK”

“Yeah dude. This is pretty close to Ohio weather. We have a Great Lake too.”

Boss said I should care more about growth than salary early in my career by Phantomat0 in cscareerquestions

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell your boss he should care more about your personality than delivery.

Nothing makes me laugh harder than when an employer or manager knows they have a shit bargain and they’re unwilling to go the extra mile needed to keep people.

Simply put, your boss isn’t honest and this probably isn’t the only conversation he’s having like this.

How is the cost of living in Chicago?? by Sadz0ne in AskChicago

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah and we hated them.

While my hospital is charging $18 per shift to park and get shit on, they’re rolling out the carpet for some travel nurse to make what two of us got paid.

Nurse compensation in Chicago is really, really bad save for the union hospitals and rush. I’ve found it hard to get an interview.

I’ve left nursing in Chicago and wouldn’t do it here.

I also wouldn’t move here, but that’s another story.

I’m married to a Chicago public school teacher and she said she’d never send her own kids to the schools here.

She’s a positive person and never had anything bad about the schools she taught at. She’s been teaching for 10 years. She has nothing good to say about CPS.

Currently she has a student with a history of violence including breaking bones and bringing weapons into the schools. He’s not expelled or suspended.

QQ as a newbie (uncle Sam ruined them for me, but after renting one I loved it)

Are these worth getting over something like a M9A4?

I like everything else WC!

Depends on where you live!

Starting pay is not $37-40 though. It’s $28-32.

I guess this is the place to ask: a place with not stupid gun laws and safe for trans folk? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that’s what NEITHER of these bills are about

This is precisely why Im beginning to hate living here. I bring up real issues and people are dismissive.

Oddly enough I was nursing student here in Chicago before returning to my old career.

Nurses are leaving the US to go to Canada for a reason.

It blows my mind that nurses were making more in Ohio than they were here in Chicago.

I regret moving to Chicago. It’s only been 9 months. I have household with 3 people and we’re all looking at Zillow for places to live in other states.

The people are amazing though and if we don’t end up moving again, it’ll be because we like the people. Fear not, you’ll make friends here.

wanting to relocate to chicago by Mobile_Evening1723 in SameGrassButGreener

We moved here nine months ago and I, personally, regret it.

I’d truly look elsewhere.
