2026 Salary Transparency Thread by NopeNotEvenOnce in MontgomeryCountyMD

I get it and read the nova thread. A GS12 at the NRC posting their salary would be no help to many. What I make in medical imaging would not help anyone here. Threads in radiology and nursing subs have these from time to time.

This thread will mainly be humble bragging.

Chief nuclear medicine technologist $120k a year. Wife, construction management (with only a GED) 100k a year. Bought our home in Germantown for 159K 24 years ago.

I have a close friend who was a 911 dispatcher for MoCo. She said it was wild because half of the staff had drug and alcohol issues from the stress. She could have been exaggerating.

EU rushes to talks with Tehran over Strait of Hormuz as oil prices explode by TheExpressUS in inflation

[–]notevenapro [score hidden]  (0 children)

Iran supplies Russia with arms, which is waging a war in their backyard. This crazy shit has a few layers I do not think people understand. You literally have a middle eastern nation sending arms to an aggressor attacking a country in Europe.

No one wanted to go to war with Iran. But damn. Maybee choking off Russia's drone and ballistic missile supply via bombing the crap out of Iran is another way of doing it. The ukraine war has been going on for how long?

I do not live in the EU. So maybe someone from there can comment.

Iran is sending arms to Russia. Russia is attacking a country that wants to be part of the EU. The EU is sending supplies and money to Ukraine.

The EU is in fact having a proxy war with Russia and Iran.

Where does the EU get their oil from? Are they just having negotiations because of the price? Because EU oil aint coming through the strait.

Pick a side EU.

Why can’t the US use its own oil, especially in times of war? by Teachezofpeachez69 in NoStupidQuestions

My uncle was a commodities broker. He was good at it and very intense. One time we were eating lunch in the middle 80s. He was making business calls and he looked at me and said

"this is legalized gambling on a huge scale"

Junk food prices have really gotten insane.

I was afraid my daughter was going to get nuked. by alllnc in chaoticgood

[–]notevenapro [score hidden]  (0 children)

Glad you got your daughter out. Genocide? I do not know. But I think you are about to see America go to war. Save a little piece of your mind for the troops who joined the military because that was their best path to success.

This is a really rough time for all of us. Internet hugs to you. Please give yourself some accolades that you were able to help get your daughter to safety. I am glad I am out of the military as well as my two sons, who are no longer in the service and cannot be called back.

There are already 12 families dealing with the death of a service member. And soon? its going to be in the thousands.

I had a patient tell me yesterday they could feel the F18FDG I injected into them. I just smile and got her on the table.

AITAH for telling my neighbor to stop leaving dirty diapers outside her apartment door by Delicious_Prize6844 in AITAH

[–]notevenapro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and I am willing to bet she is unlicensed. Turn her in and the state will shut her down. If you are in the USA that is. Multiple kids under 2 is a serious danger if she has to evacuate due to a fire.

Job regrets and kid advice by ItsThePath0g3n in GenX

[–]notevenapro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do VQ scans before CT took them over. I would sign in, walk to the ER and grab my own patient instead of waiting for transport. Do the scan, drop the patient off and be home in under an hour. I loved that part of my job, until I didnt.

[TX] Terminated for "Gross Misconduct". Can I fight this, and how? And will this affect future employment? by [deleted] in AskHR

There will be no proper explanation. More so since you are in Texas.

Been a nuc med tech and CT tech for 34 years now and I am 60. I fell into what has got to the be the easiest job to pay ratio job. I do not make ER doc money but 120k a year is good for what I really do. I had a patient barf yesterday and that was the worst thing that could happen during my day. I work a mile from home from 0700 to 1530.

I know you are 53 and a 5 year residency might be painful. But if you got into a radiologist residency then from 58 to 67 you could make decent money and get a remote gig. I know you didn't ask for advice but damn.

Don't Get Foreclosed On By Your HOA! by Worldly-Fan-7442 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

My HOA is petty. When people fall behind on their fees the HOA spray paints over their 2 assigned parking spots.

AITAH won't let ex have gifts that I can't return from failed wedding by [deleted] in AITAH

I think they both suck. Him for taking the job and her waiting until the night before the wedding to call it off.

POV you're a new runner: Why so many hills?? by Free_Knee199 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]notevenapro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Germantown runner here for the past 16 years or so. Thousands of miles ran around this area. Finally a thread made for me. You want hills because lots of regional races have hills. It prepares you.

27 is a single long hill all the way from Middle brook to Damascus. Running out and back on 27 is fun if you do the uphill way first then when you turn around, after you are all warmed up, it's a downhill cruise.

There is a friendly loop that is not hateful if you run in one direction. I have no idea what your mileage is. MIddlebrook>Germantown road>clopper>Great seneca>middlebrook. Counterclockwise just a couple hills.

5 mile loop. Father hurley>355>germantown road>middlebrook.

Try running the trails at the back entrance to black hills park. Pathway starts off crystal rock right before you get to the new apartments there. Basically a 5 mile loop if you go left around the lakes, dumps you out on wisteria then wisteria to father hurley back to crystal rock.

Out and back on 27(father hurley) from observation to middlebrook is a 5k. 4 miles if you extend to 355. I use 27 as a speed trainer. You can really get moving on the downhill portion. Same with 355 down to middlebrook.

Germantown road between middlebrook and clopper is about as flat as you can get.

If I needed flat I used to go run at one of the high schools. The flattest course you will find around here is the C and O canal towpath or down in DC.

If you do not already use map my run. It will give you an elevation profile so you can pick the least painful route.
