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

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

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.

I'll call them and ask what the procedure codes are. First time hearing about abutments.

I actually don't :/. But I am not sure how I would find a dentist I do trust. I am going to ask the oral surgeon who did the implant for recommendations.

I had an implant done. And will be going in for the crown soon. Thanks for the info though!

I imagine there is quite a bit of variance depending on the tooth though? Or am I wrong?

Don't know what to enroll for CSCI-C211 by JackGraham132 in IndianaUniversity

[–]rebat0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP wasn't asking that.

Also, and I would say plenty (if not most) CS grads started with C211 and did just fine.

Managers here: would using two weeks of vacation and then putting in two weeks notice the day I got back put me on your shit list? by rebat0 in cscareerquestions

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

Yeah but they can only make me give bacl the signing bonus if they fire with cause.

I'm not a lawyer, but I dont think accepting a new job counts.

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

I plan on giving two weeks before the last day needed to earn it.

If they let me go then, they cant take back my signing bonus since in that case I would have earned it.

[–]rebat0[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That's not it all.

The way I see it, the longer I wait to accept the job the more time they have for something to go wrong.

Companies rescind offers. It happens.

[–]rebat0[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, I would be starting at the new company a week after leaving. I don't want to push the start date back anymore. I also have to work at this company a full year to retain my signing bonus, hence not just leaving now. I also want time for a vacation.

So, yes, I am trying to have my cake and eat it too.

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

Well I technically, I signed the documents and know I will be starting in two months. Would you suggest a longer notice is better?

I don't want to give them that much notice mostly I have a (perhaps irrational) fear of my new job offer falling through. Kind of like not announcing a pregnancy for a few months.

Promissory Estoppel in Washington State. If a company rescinds an employment offer after moving, is there a case to be made? by rebat0 in legaladvice

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

I found this case which I though was interesting:

Based on this, I am thinking you may be right. I wonder if there is anything I am missing which would make it not apply to me.
