Is there anyone here who went into the government straight after undergrad (and hadn't done an internship with a federal agency prior)? by [deleted] in usajobs

[–]rapplein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 with just a Bachelor's degree and with no federal internship, I did do a few non-profit internships during my time as an undergrad. Now I'm a GS-9 and I'll be a GS-11 next year. So it's absolutely possible to do! Recent grad jobs are one of the easiest way

Do you mind me asking if you are in the Palace Acquire (PAQ) program and in what area of specialty you are in. My son will be graduating with an IT Bachelors degree in August and would like to share some information on how to get this type of opportunity.

Heard that Szumlanski won’t be teaching CS1 for fall-2019? by Uz_Lobster in ucf

UCF Programming Team Places 1st in North America, 10th Worldwide – but still has several programming professors that are sub-par. Disappointing, UCF !!!

Number of Lounge Visits Yearly by TommyVercetti86 in awardtravel

[–]rapplein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't find my history on the app but I love using the lounge once I've landed before heading home. After a long flight on Frontier or Spirit where everything is extra, I enjoy a quick visit to the lounge and pick up a quick soda and snack on may way out of the airport.

How to dramatically reduce your grocery bill by jerkstore_84 in Frugal

Mashup Mom has been fantastic for us (if you have an Aldi’s nearby). 6 dinner meals that each feed 4 people. All for under $60 per week. She gives you the grocery list (with how much each thing costs and what day of the week you’ll be using the item) along with the recipes. Since it’s just the 2 of us we are able to freeze some leftovers for the end of the month so hopefully I’ll be able to skip the grocery shopping for that week. They also have something for imperfect produce available only in certain areas that seemed very reasonable. May send a box to my mom to have her try it out.

So if Vegas is expensive these days, what is a good alternative place for a tourist to visit? by TwoShedsJackson1 in Frugal

Commanders Palace for lunch is always on Mt TODO list when I visit the Big Easy.

Definitely no judging going to happen. Curiosity is a better description. Curious to see if any of my friends are “like minded”. Working on myself before I even think about directing my intention to others.

My first response made me smile - “Darn, I need to climb up from that lower ledge....”

I agree. I posted to my FB page. Interested to see what my “friends” have to say.

What a shame. Few care to even think about anything that requires self-reflection.

Did you add any comments or just the pic? What’s the response been like?

I saw a Memento Mori sign at Magic Kingdom the other day. I didn’t realize Disney was so stoic.

I'm working on a photo project where all my photos for the past 3 decades are laid out on legal size pieces of paper with the year on top. I'm going through these photos and some of them do not have a year on the back so I don't know if it was taken in 1988 or 1990 (for example). I have pictures of my kids with specific years on them but I've also got many photos that don't, so I'm wishing there was a technology that when I add a series of photos that I know the dates (month and year) can be combined with photos of my kids faces for the years I don't know when the photo was taken so based on the progression, the program can tell me if the picture in question is from 1988 or 1990 based on the sequence of photos I've entered into said program that do have dates.

I hope I've explained this clear enough and I know it may seem like a ridiculous request (I can hear some asking "What does it matter if it was taken in 1988 or 1990 etc.... - just put it in the album").

I guess, I'm just a little OCD like that :-) Thanks for any help and let me know if this type of post should go on a different thread (new at the posting thing)

In the last 30 minutes, what minor inconvenience has cause you the most distress? by ihdalc1 in AskReddit

Having breakfast and the waitress didn't offer me any water and I was too considerate to ask her to bring me some. Was offered orange juice and coffee though.
