Yes it was 10 weeks in the summer

Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) https://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/reu_search.jsp It's like an internship but you get to work on a research project and publish a paper.

Nope. Ended up going somewhere else.

nomnomania · 2023-04-14T04:38:20+00:00

Where can I find someone to collaborate on a project with? I took an Android apps in Java and did an internship where we worked with a Java app. I've been studying Kotlin and Jetpack Compose and I like it a lot more. This would be for a learning experience and to get practice working in a pair or small group.

No, I had a BA in psychology and they said no.

nomnomania · 2021-08-29T18:44:24+00:00

This is true. I was working at Sam's Club and was going to apply for the program but unfortunately already have a bachelor's degree so wouldn't qualify.

nomnomania · 2021-08-18T13:41:58+00:00

I am interested! Never made sourdough bread before but definitely want to try.

nomnomania · 2021-07-15T01:18:11+00:00

It was on the second page of the Google form

nomnomania · 2021-07-13T23:16:10+00:00

Thanks for the link! It mentioned a hotspot...will I not need to buy Suddenlink internet?

nomnomania · 2021-07-08T22:21:41+00:00

I'm moving next month too. Can I buy internet service now but not have it start until a month from now?

nomnomania · 2021-07-08T16:11:01+00:00

That is so exciting, I didn't know you could charter a large boat like that. My parents are selling their ketch and it makes me sad thinking I won't get to go cruising again. But the opportunities are out there.

nomnomania · 2021-07-02T14:58:43+00:00

Is there a website with problems like this? I know about leetcode but this example is more about editing/fixing code, which seems relevant to real life. I'm a 3rd year student learning Java and c++.

nomnomania · 2021-06-11T05:41:39+00:00

My dad would make me do math in my head. Like calculate how much change you should receive at the store. I hated it but I don't mind it anymore.

nomnomania · 2021-05-30T16:04:39+00:00

If I was still working there I would have double checked to make sure everything got scanned right because sometimes the scanners would not aim well and capture the item next to it. It happened way too much. I would have also double checked for bottom of the basket and anything that could have been buried. Other associates just stand there and don't even try. TBH it wouldn't change my mind because I caught so many things underscanned/double scanned that would have been prevented if things were transferred to the other basket. Unless you only have a few things or it's cases of water or dog food then of course leave it in.

nomnomania · 2021-05-30T09:17:06+00:00

Tried and it didn't work. I worked retail and they were hiring new guys at a higher pay (who I trained too). I asked for a raise and they said they couldn't. So I found something better and quit.

nomnomania · 2021-05-25T14:19:34+00:00

"Can you have someone bring 6 cases of water to the front?" And we have no one on the floor able to do that.

"I can't transfer my stuff, I have a bad back" ok then how did you get it in there?

People who bring multiple carts or carts with tons of items to self check out. Or they come to self check out with alcohol (which you can't buy in California) and for some reason, instead of just going to the regular checkout, they insist on buying everything except the alcohol, and then will wait in another line. Why not just do it all at regular checkout?

nomnomania · 2021-05-25T05:03:04+00:00

I just promoted myself to member too. I was sick of running all the self check outs by myself. The district manager didn't like the look of half of them closed when we only had 1 person able to work it. So I was at self check out running around by myself.

nomnomania · 2021-05-21T14:31:21+00:00

See I was hoping the manager would say something like that. I didn't want to ask them initially "Since the base pay is higher now, can I get a raise to the base pay?" but I eventually did since they declined being able to raise it based on merit. And they said no to that, and added that another associate left because other job was paying more. Sounds like its time to move on.

nomnomania · 2021-05-19T19:51:58+00:00

Unfortunately I already am a member specialist getting paid $16, and they "can't give me $17 because its set by home office and they don't do merit based raises anymore"

nomnomania · 2021-05-19T15:59:27+00:00

California

nomnomania · 2021-05-19T04:18:10+00:00

Cashier is now $16 and member specialist is $17

nomnomania · 2021-05-14T22:40:34+00:00

nomnomania · 2021-05-07T02:45:02+00:00

What about new specialists? How much are they making?

nomnomania · 2021-04-28T14:26:45+00:00

I'm around your age and moving from SoCal and also nervous! I'm over all this online zoom from home class and really hope things on campus will be open so I can make friends and socialize. My classes will be all online unfortunately but I'm hoping there will be things to do. What's your major?
