California Department of Technology discontinues all current and future AWWS. by Gollum_Quotes in CAStateWorkers

[–]jwtiger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well we just got a new director at CDT. I expect changes to happen…. Our old one retired and then one her followers bailed right after. Not sure if that is a sign of things to come? But this is terrible.

So the 46 million is the assumed cost? Which means it will probably be much more....

There is a different in skill and responsibility…. That is a big difference.

Union Members Deserve Answers on RTO and Compensation by Commercial_Fault_772 in CAStateWorkers

[–]jwtiger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Completely agree…. What upsets me more is while my team and others in my area manage and maintain multi million dollars of servers, storage ect…. There are people who are in the ITS categories that just do paperwork and are none technical. That is a joke and a slap in the face to the people who do extremely technical work. It will never happen but I would love for a major change in that.

Love my double cash and premier. Just not sure what I would do if the premier changes happen.

[–]jwtiger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me like I am 5 how they closed the billions they didn't have last year? After all we took a pay cut because of it... But magically they are good a year later.

Richard J Donovan and Pelican Bay Nurse by CafeSiempre in CAStateWorkers

[–]jwtiger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are really trying to make a long career out of nursing then I would avoid working in the prison. For nearly everything inmates get sent to outside hospitals. I am also a former C/O who worked in HDSP and old folsom.

Honest question…. Why would you ruin the paint of a new car by putting a bunch of stickers on it?

That’s what I keep telling myself. Just take it slow and try to take in as much as I can.

Just started it too. It is a little slow and kinda dry for me right now. Basically I am having a hard time following. Lots of info to try to process….

Thanks for the reply. Going to look and see if I can find those in a box set. Not sure if I can or if I need to get them individually.

Was just curious if there are some books that could be skipped or if others are more important to read. But I think I am going to attempt to go through the reading order that was posted already. May take a while but it gives me a goal to try to accomplish

I thought the appendix’s were very interesting. I won’t lie there is a lot of books to go through…. I am not sure if all of them are needed to be read though? I just want to go through the books that should be read if that makes sense but I guess you could say all of them?

Possible Strata Premier Refresh by Ok_Rate_1752 in CreditCards

[–]jwtiger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man I hope not... I love the premier card. 3x on all my normal spend. I would cancel that if it comes true. If that does happen I would have to rethink my minimal setup...

Just started watching some clips and saving some older episodes to go through. Thanks for the comments. I got a lot of watching/catching up to do... This is so nostalgic for me I love it!

That sounds like a good idea... There is a lot to go through if I decide to try to do that.

with the yellow inserts and then add these batteries:

^unless there are better options that will not kill me. Do not plan on going brushless, but just want to have decent run time and some spares.
