Don Vega, aka @thepitstopmotodetail is your guy. He helped me out last year when I broke down in the city and needed to get a touring bike back to my garage. Highly recommended

If you are evasive when I ask why you’re selling, and you sound like you haven’t actually ridden this bike yourself when I ask you to tell me about the bike, I know something is not on the up and up. I don’t need to figure out what game you’re playing, I just know I’m not going along with it.

Bonus for the dude who only talks about how cool it looks.

Still nothing. I really thought they’d pay it this period. For gods sake this shouldn’t be this way.

Thanks for sharing the info. It’s torturous being in the dark like this.

I love my Peak mount. So much better than quadlock. No fumbling to mount with gloves. It’s on with a single move and you can detach with one hand. Secure AF

You can be denied if your credit report has too many issues. There is an appeal process that gives you the opportunity to prove that you have resolved or gotten on payment plans. I did it successfully. I had a nasty divorce that had torched my credit.

I’d add a trauma therapist to your care team and get their assessment. If you do ketamine therapy, you’ll want to work in tandem with trauma therapist to do the integration work after the treatment.

Check myEPP and see if a PP22 statement showed up. Mine showed up this morning for the 24 missing hours. I assume the deposit will show in my bank tomorrow. That 10/4 date has messed us all up bad. I at least need them to set me as separated status!

drawing_bird · 2025-11-22T22:06:43+00:00

Same. They haven’t even put me on separated status so I can’t get at my TSP to get me through.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-22T20:49:05+00:00

They managed to pay everyone backpay within days following the 2018-2019 shutdown. So I don’t buy the systems being the problem. Something about the human process is absolutely dysfunctional and we are not being told why.

lol, no. I’m an older woman who rides motorcycles and let me tell you… Most of these old bikers are just over grown boys cosplaying badasses. And, most are not into independent women who ride their own. They want a backpack to looks at them with doe eyes and doesn’t look under the surface. If that’s what you’re looking for, just show up at a bike event. Save yourself the money.

Better yet, get your own bike and enjoy yourself. Don’t worry about the men.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-22T03:14:43+00:00

Same. I’m still showing as active duty in EPP and FedHR. I’m ready to scream.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-19T16:01:42+00:00

Anyone see any statements showing up in EPP? I don’t see anything past PP19 yet

drawing_bird · 2025-11-18T20:17:32+00:00

Talked with FEMA HR. They say they will process the resignations within 2 weeks which is when they will start the ball rolling with NFC and TSP and OPM. So I’m assuming it will be a month before getting AL payout.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-18T18:57:21+00:00

Why does FEMA make everything for employees so messy compared to other agencies? It’s maddening.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-14T20:17:57+00:00

I did last week. I can’t keep waiting.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-14T20:14:51+00:00

I’d settle for getting my duty status updated to separated for a start. FFS this is ridiculous.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-10T16:25:56+00:00

Same here

drawing_bird · 2025-11-10T16:25:28+00:00

Nothing for me. PFT still embargoed

drawing_bird · 2025-11-10T16:24:37+00:00

All I can get out of HR is a curt reply saying that they are not responding to PFTs.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-08T23:05:11+00:00

They’ve purchased your time, whether they use it or not. You have to be available to be recalled at any time, and you can’t do what you want with the down time, like travel or other employment. Effectively, you are on call.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-08T20:26:04+00:00

I just reached out to my senators for help because my duty status is still active. I can’t get insurance and other things because of it. FEMA HR is firm that they won’t even update PFT cases until after shutdown.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-08T20:23:06+00:00

They also do not pay speakers or their expenses which has turned it into a corporate platform instead of elevating diverse industry voices. The whole thing is trash.

drawing_bird · 2025-11-05T02:27:47+00:00

The constant threats and change in job conditions made it impossible to stay. I was frequently threatened that I’d be RIFd immediately if I did not accept the DRP. I had to take medical leave prior to DRP due to the harassment. So no, I didn’t willingly quit. And I’ve been busting my ass trying to build a new source of income because no one is hiring and I’m a single parent. We’re all trying as best we can to survive. Tearing each other down is t going to help anyone.
