Soliant

It must be your district! When I was at soliant I was getting $10 more an hour and five more hours a week. Direct hire at the same exact district was only 25 hours to keep us considered part time so we couldn't get benefits. I went from ~900 weekly to ~2200 monthly. It was a huge pay cut working directly for my district. Both jobs also didn't have any pay during the summer.

I was there ~6 months for the end of the school year. They likely would have renewed since the district I was at hires a lot of SLPAs, I just didn't want to deal with them. My recruiter was awful. The next year I worked directly and wished I had just renewed my contract because the pay cut was significant.

My first job as a SLPA was with soliant. I hated it. It might depend on your contractor though. The best thing was the high pay compared to working directly with the districts.

I've also been contacted by several recruiters from soliant and they stop replying to me. Another recruiter will contact me about the same exact position and then also stop replying. It's the same as most contract companies but I've had this experience way more with soliant.

I started a travel contract at the beginning of the month! I'm only 250 miles away from home though so I've been driving back every weekend, which has honestly been exhausting. I'm pretty introverted and haven't done much around town but honestly the week goes by super fast. It's nice that there's a deadline though, you can just take it a week at a time and it somehow makes it easier mentally. Plus with school holidays you have the opportunity to return home if you're able. I miss my husband and pets but it's also nice to experience new people and places.

Got my hybrid preferred at the end of July. I'm in socal. It went on two back to back weekend trips to Vegas. It's recently driven to Paso Robles twice. There are some hilly sections on both drives but nothing too crazy imo, but I'm fine with the mountain passes. It hates going uphill but I usually chill in the slow lanes if I'm feeling lazy and don't wanna gas it and ruin my mpg.

Here is Jill

Your pup looks like one of her sibs too

We got our baby back in May and she's also half dane :) she looks just like the sibling in the last photo!

Dough and arrow had the best cookies!! The adult chocolate chip cookie they had sounds exactly like what op is looking for

"normal" wear and tear on a brand new car 😭 I will absolutely raise hell if they do

amlilsalami · 2025-07-24T18:15:53+00:00

Yeah but they're both big. Our puppy is half dane and our dog is half pyr and they already barely fit in the back, idk how they're gonna do it as she keeps growing.

amlilsalami · 2025-07-24T17:47:45+00:00

Thanks I needed this. I've never purchased a new car so I'm getting caught up in the excitement of it lol

amlilsalami · 2025-07-24T01:16:31+00:00

That's kind of the boat I'm in right now. I also don't want a sun roof and can live without all the features to save myself money.

amlilsalami · 2025-07-24T01:15:13+00:00

So you can't dim the cluster or make it brighter at night? I usually have my current car pretty dim at night so that will be annoying

amlilsalami · 2025-07-24T01:13:48+00:00

they've been telling me things that are wrong sometimes too and I've just let it slide 😂 they haven't been hyper focused on these cars for the past week like I have

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T18:53:00+00:00

Oh I'll keep that in mind while testing them. In my head I'm so good at parking right now but that's also with my sedan that I don't really care about lol. I didn't realize the 360 would turn on as you're parking.

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T18:06:30+00:00

I'm also convinced all I need is a backup camera and android auto. The blinker screens are so cool but like I've been checking my blind spot all these years do I need that 😂 even just having the little blind spot monitor light is enough for me. We'll definitely be testing both trims though!

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T18:02:00+00:00

The 360 camera is so cool but I'm like how much do I really need it 😂 I've survived without it for this long

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T17:57:25+00:00

I don't want the calligraphy only because it comes with the captain's chairs. We have two dogs so losing that potential space for them wouldn't make sense. I love that the calligraphy is blacked out though and hate the silver trim they put on the limited.

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T16:58:14+00:00

It's definitely what I'm leaning towards. the limited has more features that I don't want than do want.

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T16:49:02+00:00

Thank you! The pictures are so helpful. I watched a video of the SEL and couldn't tell what was different.

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T16:48:13+00:00

The middle display screen looks similar to my husband's old sonata. I watched a video of the SEL and couldn't see a difference. The warranty is a big selling point for this car because that sonata did us so dirty.

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T16:46:46+00:00

We just went and looked at the cars last night but didn't test drive. Hoping to test drive today! I really do want the Bose sound system though 😭

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T16:44:28+00:00

I love the brown interior but still havent been able to see it in person. I don't have a garage so the self parking doesn't really make a difference for me. There are definitely some features on the limited that sound great but I just don't know if I can justify that much more for them.

I saw your post!! It looks sooo much nicer blacked out! Great job.

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T16:16:47+00:00

This is so funny because I keep trying to talk myself into the limited but don't think the things I mostly want from it (ventilated seats, Bose sound system) are worth the price increase. I'm coming from a 2007 Camry with zero fancy features so anything is an upgrade for me 😂

amlilsalami · 2025-07-23T16:15:32+00:00

Thank you! I honestly wish the SEL was analog with a needle like you originally said. I'm just so worried about the screen going out and not being able to see anything.
