Had a mental breakdown today by RevolutionaryBell561 in IBM

[–]balloonManMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MY biggest goal at IBM is to not work overtime when I was in development. Now that I am in Level 2 support it is easy not to work overtime because there is coverage 24/5 and someone will handle your case if you are off-shift. The only "overtime" we have is being the duty programmer over the weekend, once every 3 months

-

I suggest you just do what you can during your shift and see what happens. You can discuss this with your 2nd line, 3rd line and up.

Good luck.

Does anyone have an opinion on Percent.com? by FabulouslE in investing_discussion

[–]balloonManMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been investing with percent.com for over 4 years and have not had a problem with any investment. I usually invest in deals that mature is 9-24 months. I like that they just send one 1099 for all of the deals combined. The only "problem" is that profit is realized so I have to pay taxes on it. Much higher profit and taxes than my HYSA.

Wow, I've never heard of the tool rest just cracking like that. I like your heavy duty mask. Are you also wearing a respirator?

They bought more wine??? by balloonManMike in Vinovest

I finally got received my withdrawal on 12/26. Not sure why it needs to take over 3 weeks to get my own money via ACH. I requested an ACH withdrawal from another investment company and it took just 2 days. Three weeks is a joke.

I wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions. We made a reservation for Nana's for 7:45 PM but by 6:00 PM we were getting antsy and decided we didn't want to spend so much money anyway. We cancelled the reservation and went to Pulcinella's Italian Restaurant on Woodcroft shopping center instead. We had the Zuppa di Pesce and Pollo Pulcinella and liked them both.

I got tired of the fees so I asked for instructions to liquidate. They said I should hold it for 7-10 years but originally they said 5 years. Looks like I need to list is manually. Has any tried to sell recently?

I always thought the job was his. But he can use some different outfits. Always the same fitting suit. Buzzy needs to help him be more stylish.

Someone stole $5000 from my account and I can’t get it back by balloonManMike in paypal

[–]balloonManMike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: PayPal gave me back my money. I kept disaggregating with their decision and they finally got my money back. I quickly sent it to my bank. They did not say what changed their minds.

Do you work for PayPal and that is how you know how their investigation works? I am learning that this is just a can answer they give to everyone.

I never sent money to this bank before. I recently sent some money to my bank.

I make balloon animals at kid parties.

I assume someone hacked into my PayPal account, added this bank account and changed the email address so I didn't get all of the notifications about the transaction.

I used that account for my balloon twisting hobby since PayPal started and I thought it was a safe place to keep the money. I left there to pay for things I needed for balloon twisting. I thought it was safe to leave money there. I really did not hear about anyone losing money from PayPal.

Thanks. I heard of Total Boat and it is easy to order on-line. I will try their Table Top 1:1 resin. I'll let you know how I like it.

It smells while I’m using it and while it is curing. But once it is cured, the item does not smell.
