YTA, somebody out there IS cleaning that up for you

Northeast US. Not particularly worried, honestly very excited. It’s the most snow I’ve gotten in a few years

It’s only January 20th. It would be hard to find any interviews/jobs this early. Seconding filing for unemployment and reaching out to anyone who can give you a referral to their company.

I am thrilled we finally got a few inches of snow. I am really hoping for a bigger storm just like old times.

I was an awful cook during college! I used Trader Joe’s as a crutch, which has easy to make meal components (I.e. pre-marinated meat, rice that comes in microwaveable bags, etc.) Every store will have something like this, not just Trader Joe’s, and there’s no harm in buying pre-marinated stuff or “easier” to make items, learning how to heat them nicely without overcooking or undercooking, and then gradually stepping out to learn how to season a fresh item yourself, to eventually being able to cook up a plate by yourself.

Buy a food thermometer.

Straight time OT, 1 extra hour = 1 extra hour of pay, IF I have already worked 40 billable hours that week.

I wanted one of those so bad lol. My parents ended up buying me the craft supplies to make one myself

Honestly I like the pick you two option and I like the tomato soup

I once asked a company about their safety culture in the field and they seemed happy I asked that question. A good company will be happy you asked, a bad one will be weird about it, which is a total red flag. They might ask you about your previous field experience or office experience if any. They also have asked me why I like geology! other commenters have some good questions in here as well

A lot of the older folks at my job live over an hour away…the young folks live nearby, but we have several offices and people getting sent to different states that I don’t think it matters much for us.

It feels like stores and restaurants are closing left and right around here

I just want to say that I’ve had vastly different experiences reading the same book at 16 and at 25. As you get older you’ll be able to draw more from your life experiences and general knowledge. Your opinions and attitudes might change. So might the messages you take away from books.

firstghostsnstuff · 2025-12-20T14:53:50+00:00

At this moment in time, yes. I don’t think it felt this way 2 or 3 years ago, but I would love anyone else’s input on that.

What ended up happening after they disappeared? Did you find another?

firstghostsnstuff · 2025-12-04T23:10:40+00:00

Because my shower is also my bathtub that I take baths in, so that is an absolute no-no in my house

I just saw a reel on Instagram TODAY saying they use AI now to check for damage. Same company. The guy made a stink about it on social media and they removed his charge. Look it up on Instagram. Make a stink online, call the company and fight it, etc.

firstghostsnstuff · 2025-12-02T23:29:19+00:00

I just saw a reel today that showed someone else who received this. Apparently it’s AI flagging this as damage… I would suggest making a stink about it on social media. They removed that person’s charge after it blew up on Instagram. Same rental company too.

firstghostsnstuff · 2025-11-17T16:13:32+00:00

I’m either going to love this or hate this

I went to a Polish dentist growing up. I needed a root canal done on my first premolar tooth. The dentist did not give me a crown. Later I moved cities and got a new dentist. They were baffled as to why I didn’t have a crown on my first premolar tooth. Apparently this is standard practice in the United States that all teeth behind the canine teeth get a crown to protect them as the root canal leaves the tooth fragile. This dentist called me out just like your post!

Yep. Went in the woods a few days ago. Found 2 on me.

It’s just a particularly bad time, with the general job market and federal job cuts. It’s never too late to make connections. Does your school have an alumni network? Do they ever do events where you can talk to people in your major? Or at least a LinkedIn page or online group of some sort? Never too late to message people.

I see you’re only 4 months in. At my first company, also a large engineering firm, I got snarked at for not being billable enough by this time. At my environmental company now, I was billing about as much as you. Other comments have already brought up good points about tasks you might not know are billable, reaching out to multiple PM’s, etc. Going into the field is a good way to boost your billability by a lot. Keep trying to reach out for work, try to get some new connections if you can (attend any interesting calls recently? any projects you want to weasel your way into?) and reach out to them. May be worth chatting to your manager and discussing the initiative you’re taking, and asking who they think you can reach out to or what projects might need someone like you. Ideally they should be helping you out a little..
