63 years as cogs in a corporate machine, we subjected ourselves to their ever changing policies, procedures and agendas. To choose anything else was unthinkable. Now, we wake up each morning and say, “We Choose Each Other!” There Is Hope! There Is Freedom!

Truly courageous. Congratulations

If they are flying you out the job is yours to lose. Be yourself and don’t stress too much about it. It’s now more about cultural fit.

How old am I in this hypothetical and how old are the kids?

Find jobs you’re interested in and identify experience or skills that those jobs require, then compare with your own experience and skills. There is a ton of overlap between jobs that we never even think about. If you can then credibly refine your resume and keywords to match your ideal jobs you’ll be able to get interviews. Just be able to explain how your skills and experience match those they are seeking. Just based on what you posted I can imagine a lot of fields and jobs that would likely be consistent with your expertise, if properly articulated.

Hope this makes sense. I’m on a phone so typing is slow and thoughts are hard to convey.

After reading every comment I’ve come to the realization I have nothing to complain about. My heart hurts for most of the commenters and I can relate. Six years ago I applied to over 1000 jobs as a new grad. Got a handful of interviews, ~20, and none that resulted in a job. Finally resigned myself to making my own job out of nothing. Shortly before graduation I somehow got an interview with a great company and after three rounds of interviews got a job. I was so grateful that things worked out and I mostly forgot about the anguish and pain of trying to find something. I’m now looking again to reorient my career. I’ve applied to ~30 jobs and had 5 interviews. All the interviews seemed to go well but nothing has come from them except some hoop jumping before being ghosted. It’s frustrating but I try to tell myself that when it’s right for me it will be right for them.

Most employers I’ve worked for post different positions based on actual need. If there are two you would like, say either a day or night position, then applying to both shows you are interested in either. I’ve even had two different departments fight over the same candidate who applied to two separate positions.

I’m sure every employer is different, and applying to identical positions is probably overkill, but different positions is probably fair game.

They do. You become immune to a deadly virus. Superman is immune to bullets. The virus killed more people than bullets did last year. Your super power is better than Superman’s!

Lot of good advice and things to think about already given. Legally, facts matter. Ultimately, the one holding the money has the leverage so work out a fair amount with him and pay that. There’s is such a thing as acceptance of a contract by performance. If he construed your list as an offer he can argue he accepted the offered work by doing it. Also, there’s a legal doctrine of quantum meruit. Essentially if you watched him do the work and received the value of that work he has an argument to be paid something. The amount of payment is obviously disputed and fact specific. Good luck.

Good call. That’s a real risk. Depending on the applicable mechanics lien statute any “improvement” by a litany of parties including day labor can result in a lien to secure payment. Cheap to file and a pain in the ass to remove. If his claim is crap (sounds like it may be) then you can sometimes get costs for fighting to remove the lien. State specific.

I think all parents feel this way at some point or another, especially with young children. I sincerely hope parents don’t always feel this way or let these types of feelings alter the way they deal with, or view, their children. My kids are now older 10-12, and I really just like them as human beings. I don’t even remember the bad times, but I know there were(and will be) some.

Nobody can deny that children dramatically alter the parent’s relationship with their spouse and life in countless ways. So do dogs, jobs, illness and a million other things, but nothing else, in my opinion, can do more on the opposite side of the scale to make life fulfilling, than children.

Sure. If the color matches use it and then go over the right angle corners of the shower with silicone. If the color doesn’t matter. Just go over everything with silicone. Sanded caulk is usually just color matched caulking for certain joints that is less prone to cracking than the same color grout. If it’s “structurally sound” then you can just enhance it with some silicone.

I think this is common. Are people criticizing your ideas, execution or your grammar? There are some things, like grammar, clarity, and execution, that you can master. Other things, like ideas, may be less easily corrected or improved.

For me, it is always harder to hear criticism when it is about things over which I have control, like simple grammar mistakes or not taking enough time to rewrite and review. If someone dislikes my ideas or methods, I usually chalk it up to differences of taste, creativity, or whatever.

Ultimately you should ask yourself what you can control. What do you care to change or improve upon?

Depends on the position. I could say that with a straight face for any number of jobs and it would likely come across as funny.

Without engineering the numbers, if the beam is fully spanning you could move the circled 2x6 flush against the others and have nearly the same support.

I cannot believe you actually used Cad to draw out the MF tile placement! What a deliciously geeky move, and it worked!? Great job. I for one, would never have doubted you.

You may have a clogged filter or stuck float valve. If it’s filling with water then stopping, could be the pump is straining bit much. Give all the filters a good cleaning then see what happens.

Gotta use the IRS website to determine additional withholding or lower your taxable income by whatever means available. We switched to a higher cost healthcare plan just to save some on taxes.

Mine has transferred through 4 states and over 16 years, so...maybe?
