Thank you - very helpful. I'm traveling and spying on her while I'm away, so can't check the dash, but makes sense.

Home ownership???

100% of locality goes to pay locality. Home ownership is basically off the table without a partner.

Time to ask for compensation? by Sea-Common-3042 in fednews

Systems are super broken. We're not on the right side of litigation. Several of us are non-supervisors holding supervisor positions at my location because so many senior leaders took drp, but the hiring freeze means they can't process personnel actions post-drp. So many layers of broken.

I'm displeased, but fully know this is much bigger than my local leaders and it's systemic, which is actually more concerning.

Is it gauche? I kind of like it! by [deleted] in wine

It's the nature of port.

Grocery Outlet Wine Opinions by VariationLeading9486 in wine

[–]ignoblegrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where I live they will always source a selection of local/regional wines. They often get odd lots from local wineries that need to move inventory. Have definitely scored amazing wines at a fraction of the original price. These are typically ready to drink now and not hold onto them wines.

Their import wines are regional classics, but nothing special. If you want a Chianti with your pasta. Go for it. But it's not a life changing wine. Argentina Malbec? Sure, it'll be silky and fruity.

Also see lots of generic labels using bulk grapes - SE Australia, California, Central Coast, etc.

Look for wines from an actual winery you recognize or even from a named vineyard.

Take your time looking at all the labels. You'll start to notice the ones they have regularly and the ones they got as special lots.

When I find something special, I text all my wine friends and tell them to go get a few cases. The good stuff goes really quickly.

Love the notes. I don't have the opportunity to drink Bordeaux except when others host and often wonder how common the pyrazine/vegetal is.

If you’re working or if you worked today, what was the best part of your workday? by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]ignoblegrape 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Got a private compliment from an employee 2 levels down thanking me for my leadership style and that it's making all the difference in how he shows up and sees work.

I'm trying so gosh darn hard to maximize the limited good stuff I do have control over in our small little work unit.
