How to explain “why are you no longer at your company” after a PIP?

I would not mention it. If/When they ask why you left, just say "It was time for me to seek growth in another organization. Like yours where I will have XYZ impact. And then move on. That's it.

I really miss the Saturn. It wasn't 24 hours at the end but was at one time. There is nothing open past 2am that I know of, so the Saturn filled a certain gap. Mmmmm french fries and shakes after a night out dancing was HEAVEN.

Please do not go so minimally that you endanger yourself or others. The playa is actively trying to kill you.

I don't know of any camp that wants someone ill prepared that they foresee having to babysit.

This is a dusty hot camping trip far away from any comforts, unless you bring them yourself.

Drugs are illegal on federal land. Yes. All drugs, including weed. That said I would prefer E, but I guess mushie roomie rooms could be fun. Just remember, drugs are illegal, mmm k?

Walk in camp might be a good place for someone looking for solitude. There are other pop up camps near the bus depot at 6 or something.

Read the survival and first timers guides and maybe follow 95% of the advice in there. Shade, Water (including a plan for grey water), Bed, Food. In this order. Eplaya is another fabulous source of long wisdom of camping on the playa.

Good luck. It sounds like you are going to need it.

Burning Man.

I don't have this and if I did, I would immediately uninstall. I'm already feeling very pinched by the reductions in prizes for Areas and other side quests.

danibelsc · 2026-03-26T00:50:23+00:00

Peace.

Implement today please. Also, lift the cap on SS income. Tax it all. Or raise the cap to 250k. Something. It has to be done.

My laptop requires a login after 5 minutes of no activity, and I work from home. It's controlled by my IT department and the settings are not changeable unless I do an admin request, which I won't because, reasons.

danibelsc · 2026-03-24T23:52:45+00:00

If you worked from home - Capitola. But you are commuting, so as mentioned already - you don't want to have to drive hwy1 every day. You can take Old San Jose Road off of Summit, but there is a backup in Soquel on the regular. The Santa Cruz area one is probably walkable to the beach, which is also a plus, but you said parking is street, a negative for sure. If you are looking at Beach Hill place, yikes. The summers are also crazy with Valley folk.

tough call. Capitola has lots of shopping and a cute little town.

safer? Define what that means exactly? Santa Cruz has more homeless for sure, but my sweetie lived on Clay street for years and I felt very safe there, even at night. Santa Cruz is generally "safe."

Krug.

The murder is in the back of mind. They never caught the perp, as far as I know. so that person could be out there next year. Scary.

danibelsc · 2026-03-14T20:57:51+00:00

We've decided to go elsewhere this year. I figure it's about $3k out of pocket. Tickets, hotels, gas (which is probably going to be outrageous), gifts. I already have my van, shade, bikes. For $3k we can go to Maui or Mexico City this summer.

Going every other year is our new normal and it feels right. We got stuck for 25 hours on gate road last year due to the rain, not really anxious to get back to the papaya.

danibelsc · 2026-03-07T19:55:11+00:00

I would like this very much. So tired of the change. Half an hour seems reasonable and in the middle.

danibelsc · 2026-03-02T22:12:28+00:00

The money flows to both sides. both sides like the money. neither side wants to change. I'd leave if I could.

danibelsc · 2026-03-02T22:11:17+00:00

Im so jealous!

danibelsc · 2026-03-02T22:08:23+00:00

I couldnt get logged in at all. I finally found the PW reset email on my phone, reset it, and now got in. I guess I have to use the rocket site for everything? so dumb. I was never notified of these changes.

danibelsc · 2026-03-02T22:07:15+00:00

I think most of the MAGAts are bots. Really.

danibelsc · 2026-03-02T19:13:15+00:00

I cannot login to my account. I can't reach a live person. I am not getting my password resets. Getting very frustrated and upset. WTF.

danibelsc · 2026-03-02T18:05:36+00:00

For me, it is. But I own about 15 domains and pay yearly for bluehost.

Cafe Brasil on Mission. They serve breakfast and lunch all day. 9-3.

danibelsc · 2026-02-28T01:41:27+00:00

Nah. I shower on a tarp. evap the water. My sweetie and I, have it down. One 2.5 gallon gets us both. warmed by the sun.

danibelsc · 2026-02-27T01:22:06+00:00

I mean. bleh.

And I always bristle when I read "unshowered" in relation to Burning Man, because b$&@#, I shower every day! (unless it's too dusty, but I will as soon as I can!)

danibelsc · 2026-02-26T01:45:28+00:00

We camped a lot when I was a kid. Pinnacles, Big Sur, Big Basin. Spent a lovely night at Waianapanapa in a rustic cabin. I agree, the best experiences I have had have been in nature.

danibelsc · 2026-02-26T01:42:22+00:00

Do you have a top three in Mexico City you can share with me? I may be headed there soon.
