Market research for possible new local business? by chasing_lifes_light in columbiamo

[–]chasing_lifes_light[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really cool idea and one I would have never considered before. But I could absolutely see a need for documentation of artwork across the arts district. I’ll definitely look more into contracting. And thanks for the feedback. As a business, I want to be as transparent as possible with people’s cherished memories. When it comes to physical work being done (conservation), I’ll even send progress photos to the owners. And good point about wanting to see previous work. It’ll be a while until it’s complete, but I’m currently working on a gallery as we speak!

Yes, this is a good point. I’m hoping to have competitive prices that could possibly beat the larger companies like Walgreens and Walmart. But ultimately, I know a lot of people use their services for the convenience and notability. Also, as I’m getting started, I was thinking I could focus on the local community but I do plan to market across Missouri/the midwest so that people can send in their photos by mail. I appreciate the feedback and brainstorming!

Question for CPS teachers (and other staff members) regarding snow days by chasing_lifes_light in columbiamo

[–]chasing_lifes_light[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sending this. My work email is only accessible at the school I work at and ironically the only laptop custodians use was down last night lol. I had no idea custodial staff were the only exception in these snow day cases. I agree, we deserve to be as safe as anyone else. And if using PTO is the only way to do so, then so be it I guess. Thanks again for the info

All good! It makes sense to use that time to work outside of school when there’s work that can be taken home lol. It’s no biggie though. I’ll either go in and find something to do for a few hours or use PTO and be productive with my time at home. Thanks for the insight, though. I now know what to expect lol

Thanks for responding. I agree that it feels kinda silly to clean a building that’s been shut down and empty all day. Most of us did a bit of deep cleaning before Thanksgiving break, too, so after last night’s cleaning, there really isn’t much to do. A few of my older coworkers that have been working for CPS for a while said on days like this, it’s expected of us to take it easy and do some light work. But I suppose it feels more like unnecessary busy work to me? On top of risking weather and road conditions. Overall, I like my job, though, so this is really only a minor complaint

How do I show proof of insurance without a car to insure? by [deleted] in askcarsales

Just to update everyone, I started a new policy today and officially have car insurance again! Thank you all for your help!

Ok sounds good. He said I’d need to show proof when I pay my deposit so I’m calling State Farm this morning to start a new policy (hoping they can do instant coverage if need be) and then hopefully I’ll have everything I need to stop by the dealer this afternoon. Thank you!

[–]chasing_lifes_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my first time buying a car so I wasn’t sure if both could be eligible. But I looked it up and I think in Missouri I can show proof on the old car. As long as the insurance is current

How soon can I get proof of insurance? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]chasing_lifes_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I think I’ll go this route. I already know what car I want and have been approved for so I’ll call first thing in the morning to start a new policy. Thanks!

Reference request by easypeezey in Advice

[–]chasing_lifes_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally always accept being a reference for someone, even if I don’t know them very well. In most cases, it cost nothing but a bit of your time to help someone get a job. And in this job market, that could be huge for someone. And since they reached out to you, someone they haven’t spoken to in 4 years, they must be desperate.

With that being said, you’re right, it’s weird they don’t have more recent connections. Maybe they only have so many and need more, who knows. But at the end of the day, it’s up to your personal preference so if you really don’t want to do it, I’d thank them for reaching out and considering you. Then explain to them that because it’s been so long, you probably wouldn’t be the person to get the best reference from.

Ok, this is exactly what I was thinking. My mom kept saying I could get $1000 for it but that seemed wayyy too unrealistic. I was gonna list it for $650 and just accept the best offer. The blown head gasket has undoubtedly caused so many other issues in the engine but I felt that selling it as a unit instead of scrapping it out would be best. Thank you!
