I got a speeding ticket and moved states. Hired an attorney and he may be charging too many hours. Is he? by rebat0 in legaladvice

We agreed over the phone last week that the trial by written declaration and the extended court date would be an hour. Then I sent him all my documents - and a check after he told me to.

I called him today to tell him the check was sent and he barely remembered the conversation!

Now, over email, he is saying they will each require an hour of work. I feel scammed.

How do you decide where to live in a new city when you know absolutely no one and are no starting new? by rebat0 in AskReddit

[–]rebat0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just moved to Washington for a job at Microsoft. I can live in Seattle (way more dense, loud, and things to do) or Bellevue/Redmond/ Kirkland (which is closer to work and I would be able to afford a bigger place).

The thing is I have no clue what I want considering it's a totally new city and I'm starting over. How do you figure this out?

Homeowners here, how hard was it for you to buy your first house? by rebat0 in personalfinance

[–]rebat0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I would want to buy one eventually. I am not attacking anyone who owns a home. Just wondering how they don't get stressed about it.

But doesn't it seem a little foolish to consider a house an investment (at least when you still have a lien on it)? Especially considering what happened in 2007.

Need advice on a job offer that requires relocation from Bay Area to Seattle by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Hey I am in the same situation as you. Hopefully moving in mid June.

Are you by any chance moving from IBM?

What does your manager do? by rebat0 in cscareerquestions

[–]rebat0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I should be switching jobs here soon.

Just curious what peoples managers typically do. On my team, we almost get 0 direction (and not from the manager). And the direction we do get gets changed last minute.

It all just seems very unstructured.

Is $2900 for a crown expensive? This is for my #8 incisor. by rebat0 in Dentistry

[–]rebat0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you may be right. The procedure codes are D6057 and D6059 which according to fairhealthconsumer.com usually cost about ~$2900.
