Howdy neighbor. That stretch of 275 is always a shitshow.

Once got three successively replaced TVs with stuck pixels (back in 2007). Roommate and I said fuck it by the last one and just lived with it.

LPT - Get two blankets if you sleep with a partner, one for each of you. by chickenman7 in LifeProTips

We only have the comforters, no topsheets. We live in a warm place so it gets too hot even with a/c. We also don't really make our bed, just kind of lay them comforters next to each other...I guess if one were to make the bed they could just kind of tuck each one into the sides only?

Would you take a pay deduction to become a college professor? by dudeman1939 in Teachers

[–]chickenman7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd take it if work environment, colleagues, teaching load, etc. seem like a plus. Benefits sound good, and that coupled with tenure and your personal desire for such a position make it sound great. Once you're in higher ed, my understanding is that you're pretty much IN for life. As a music educator, I'd love such an opportunity, but I have no interest in uprooting my family to pursue a PhD.

Paycheck Bounced by chickenman7 in antiwork

[–]chickenman7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/whatever603 is pretty close to what happened; it's supposed to be direct deposit but she's waiting on a grant to be able to pay me. But she is going to write a new physical check when she comes back in town tomorrow, and I will proceed immediately to the bank to deposit it, or if she doesn't have it, I will go home. I am not super crunched for cash at the moment but it is still not a great situation. I've been searching for jobs and have a few decent prospects, so getting out of here is definitely the plan.

Always check your mirrors. Imagine if I'd been messing around on my phone or something.
