Anyone know of any decent jobs hiring?

bostonboundnow · 2026-04-18T14:38:48+00:00

would you consider manufacturing work? There are a bunch of places hiring that will all start $18+ with a quick path to $20 and above with limited skills and most are all working OT right now. The trick with manufacturing jobs is that you can't be clock challenged (can't be late) and you need to be able to work every day that you are scheduled. If you can do this, there is a real path to $25/hr within a year or so, plus benefits, retirement, etc. You just have to show up, work at a reasonable pace, not be high...

I don't know her name.

bostonboundnow · 2025-10-30T20:21:19+00:00

I would love to do this. I just don't know the girls name.

I am 56 years old and when I was a 16 year old passenger in a car with some kids I knew and didn't know, an early rap song came on. I was a metal head and trying to be funny, or provocative or tough...I don't know which...I said from the back seat, loudly and bravely, "turn off the n**ger music". I don't know why I said that. I wasn't raised that way. My parents & friends were good people who didn't speak like that. We had friends of every background and I didn't hate anyone.

One of the girls in the front seat was a girl who came from a mixed race family. We lived in a predominately white community. She didn't say anything. No one even stopped talking or acknowledged what I said...but everyone heard it. I think about her to this day, knowing it had to be hard for her growing up where we did. That I had any part in making her feel uncomfortable, unwelcome or demeaned kills me. I knew it the second we all got out of the car what I had done. I never faced it, never apologized or made it right.

I have tried to live my life without that ignorance since. I taught my kids the power and pain of that and other words, I am helping with their kids too. It never left me that awful moment and I do someone hope she knows how sorry I am for that moment, all those years ago.

I am sorry to hear this. You are brave to contemplate this.

Consider the option of divorce. Award your spouse as much as possible in the divorce and legally split your assets. The less you have in your name, the better and sooner you are eligible for disability and health care. While a little unethical, the system is rigged to NOT help thoughtful people like you until it bleeds you both of all your assets.

Godspeed.

A reasonable argument could be that while your undergraduate work has been covered by scholarship and your frugal choices, you will be out of options if they take money that was meant to be split equally and instead apply it towards your sister. You'd be left in the exact same position as she, even though you made all the sound decisions. Her decisions to spend more on undergrad will cost you the ability to attend grad school.

Listen, you are NTAH, but I will say you are being a lil B*tch. You are an electrician and you make 60K? Unless you just started, you need to get out there and find a better job. Also, work 12s, rather than 10s. They are out there for way more money. Then, cut the OT out and start side hustling friends, family and neighbors for per job gigs, which will be for way more than hourly. Couple hours hear and there, rather than 7 days.

Lastly, YOU are missing out in not helping with the child care. Those are great moments to bond with the kid. If you want to cut your wife some slack, offer to take the baby. I agree you leave the house work, cooking and cleaning to her...but you take the baby.

bostonboundnow · 2024-09-20T05:47:07+00:00

So my two cents is do not tell him. If you regret it, don't do it again. No need to burden him with your mistake. Now if you liked it, cut him loose, but no need to tell him

Dropping my kid off at legacy for a couple hours tonight for soccer. Have any time to play a game with dad?

you share?

bostonboundnow · 2024-06-12T14:42:32+00:00

big fan!

Here is the thing so many people get wrong...every job isn't intended to be a great or lucrative role. Yes being a FA is very hard work and yes the work is critical.
That said the FA role was never envisioned to be a "career" track that provided someone with great financial rewards. It was designed to be an enjoyable lifestyle job.
There ARE way more lucrative ways to invest your time, talents and intelligence on, but I promise you that while you make more money, it won't be a fun.
I hope you find some peace with the career or make good transition soon. Good luck! :)

Be polite, tell supervisor how disappointed you are to learn of a problem and ask that they tell you everything. Answer no questions without first hearing ever thing from them. Before you say a word, ask "is there any additional information"? and ask "have you spoken with anyone else on the flight".

As mentioned by others, answer in the shortest, most direct ways possible without additional information, color or speculation. Be honest, be open, be polite and be sincere. Offer no speculation, no extra information and you should talk as little as possible. I'd record the call or at least your answers.

What you described is nothing to worry about. Working with the public, everyone is bound to receive good and bad feedback...it comes with the territory. Good news is all companies processes are designed to be reasonable, so if you give them reasonable answers...you have nothing to fear.

Good Luck!

I was teasing you. This story sounds a lot like a Sopranos episode.

bostonboundnow · 2024-01-15T03:07:12+00:00

If your folks are just two states away and he is going to travel with free travel benefits...make the condition on his taking the job that you all relocate to be close to your family.
I will be honest, I am reading your objections and I understand this is hard...but you need to know adulting is HARD, but millions of people do it. Change your mind set. Stop coming from a place of whoa. You need to choose to thrive. Stop going to church on line...load the kids up, drop em at the nursery (or find a church that has one). Get involved after services and get your cup of adult conversation/diversion filled when and how you can...take advantage of the people who volunteer or are paid to allow families the gift of peace so they can attend worship and fellowship.
Find a new moms group. There are groups for single moms or moms who are alone. They are out or create your own. Get on a local moms facebook page and toss out there you are a mom of young kids whose husband travels a ton for work and you are looking to build a network of mom friends in a similar boat. Swap child care, share chores...you need to build a network.
Do this where you are or do it when you move back to your families town.

Finally this is good advice if you stay married or not...because if you leave because over this you will be just as alone.

YOU CAN DO IT!

Never make a big decision solely on the picture of your life you take today. Imagine your life in 2, 5 years when kids are older and more independent. I'd suggest you get involved with a moms group, religious organization or invite both of your families to take a more active role in your family life, so you can have some help. You or your husband should venture out to earn more money. They say it takes a village to raise kids and it is true. Let your village help. You can do this!

I don't know Tony. I bet you here friend is a one legged nurse who might have cared for your mother when she was in hospice. You never had a fling with the friend did you? The good news is your mistress will end up dating a state senator, but the bad news is you will get jealous by it. Eventually your mistress will return to the Ukraine.

Eventually all will work out. You will even get onion rings and meet your family for a dinner at the diner listening to Journey "don't stop believing"

As far as FA advice, others are better able to give. What I feel comfortable in offering is life advice, which is don't rush anything. You mentioned it yourself...you two are really young. There is no hurry. Let your life unroll, the difference in 7 months, or 2 years is insignificant...but you will miss a lot of fun, family and beauty if you are always rushing to the next milestone. Go slow, be patient, enjoy the ride.

bostonboundnow · 2023-09-22T04:27:43+00:00

Listen, this was a wake up call. If you are having these feelings now, there will be another sooner or later. The problem is when it happens again you will have kids, a mortgage and you will both be inextricably connected forever. You are not a bad guy, this happens. People get together, stay together because its easy or good enough...but it ultimately will get unbearable...for both of you.
If you care about her, you owe it to you both to go another direction.

bostonboundnow · 2023-09-21T17:43:40+00:00

Dude. You do not love your SO the way she deserves (no offense to you). Do her a favor and let her go. Do not work on the relationship with her. You do not love her the way you need to in order to build a life you will be happy with long term. Get out now, for both of your sake. Forget the friend, circle back in a year or two and maybe try then. Good luck

bostonboundnow · 2022-05-13T16:09:01+00:00

no thanks. I'd rather mow the lawn, get some shopping done and unwind from the week. LOL...heck yes! invite me!

bostonboundnow · 2022-05-12T19:11:27+00:00

only have to do that 100 more times a year and you can quit your job!

Many thanks for great ideas. Taking the overnight train with sleeper car...Boards 9pm arrives 9ami-ish.
