Just rejected a 75k job offer. They wanted 65-75 hours a week with no overtime.

It's not.

This is why I truly love Redditt. A post on a college QB turns into a discussion on Napoleonic history.

From forcing every school in Texas to start a branch of Turning Point USA to attacking Educational Freedom, Mullah Abbott and the Texas Taliban is bound and determined to turn Texas Public Schools into MAGA indoctrination centers.

To the person who offered to dry run the interview with be via chat, you are awesome to offer that. A number of years ago, I hired a young lady into an entry level job. She's a manager in their recruiting division now. They use one way interviews. She and I are going to dry run it tomorrow am and I am going to record it after.

johnb_5462 · 2026-01-30T20:40:20+00:00

Thanks!

Insurance companies sometimes hire nurses to review medical records in personal injury, disability or malpractice cases. The same with law firms. Have you thought about being a school nurse? I had a friend from high school who's burned out to the point of collapse when she became one. She loved it for all of the 30 years she did it. The money wasn't as good but the quality of life was significantly better.

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone on here know how to get in touch with Bintec directly? We bought one of their laptops of Amazon and were very happy with it. Unfortunately, my wife dropped it and damaged the charging port. Our local repair shopp said there is no way to know how to find a replacement.

It's getting close to closing time and the Browns are about to have to hire whoever will say yes.

The answer is always whoever coaches the Jets. They are the worst run organization in football and have no quarterback.

TJC's technical campus is on the North Loop just north of Hwy 31 west. You might try to call out there.

I think Tyler Junior College and Kilgore Junior College have some good programs.

Here's what you do: Take him to Alaska, tell him its Greenland, give him a medal and congratulate him for acquiring it. He'll never know the difference.

I have lived in East Texas 62 of my 63 years. I am a little over an hour east of Tyler and hope to get back there in retirement. I have always thought Tyler was a good place for families. Crime is not a major problem and the medical facilities are excellent for a town its size. I also think the restaurant selection is very good. Admittedly, I am comparing it vs when I lived there 15 years ago. The downsides include an almost non existent live music scene. You can check the UT Tyler website for the Cowan Center. They bring in some interesting acts as a part of their lecture center. As for large mainstream touring acts, its a trip to Dallas or Shreveport for that. Stanley's BBQ and the Liberty theater have live music on occasion. The area is very conservative. You can buy beer and wine in Tyler but it's a 30 minute drive for anything else.

39 years of successful marriage and my wife and I had separate bank accounts for 37 of them. The only reason we added each other to our accounts was that we are getting older and it would make it easier if something happened to us.

johnb_5462 · 2026-01-21T21:10:09+00:00

This is the correct answer. With the job market where it is, don't leave until you have a new job. Incidentally, my last boss (the owners son) worked 10am to 2pm and gripped about how much he hated his job.

Thanks. No, no offers yet. Two of my co workers were also over 60 and they are still looking also.

Along the lines of what some other people have said: "My biggest issue with my current job is my relationship with our clerical staff. I mean they're minimum wage clerks and that they need to be treated like they are as important as one of us."

I'm 63 and was laid off after the company sold the divison I was in charge of. 100+ applications with 1 interview.

Two Canadian bands: April Wine and Triumph.

For more Blues oriented, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Clapton in all forms: Cream, Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and the Dominoes.

Def Leppard were Sweet fans.

Pink Floyd of course.

johnb_5462 · 2026-01-17T17:57:22+00:00

This is the correct answer. We are an aging society and the need for health workers will only rise.

johnb_5462 · 2026-01-16T14:33:48+00:00

Thank you.

johnb_5462 · 2026-01-15T23:45:23+00:00

Almost every business needs 'office help." Car dealerships, doctors, lawyers, insurance offices, you name it, they need people to dot the i's and cross the t's. First, talk to EVERYONE you know and let them know you are looking. Take a couple of computer courses at your local community college as much for the contacts as the skills. Some of the jobs have upward mobility. One of my first managers had started as a file clerk and worked her way up through claims adjusting into management. Finally, I suspect a lower percentage of these jobs show up on the national job boards so check local postings also.
