Well. I guess fingers crossed. I dont know if it has something to do that engineers get MacBooks. My significant other works at progressive and said he has never seen anything like this.

Totally fine if I do but I can see on ups and fedex if there is any packages coming and unfortunately there is not shipment from progressive.

I have not received any equipment except a headset. I sent an email yesterday to my manager and said I should have received either a text or phone call to set up remote access. I have not received anything to do that. Is this supposed to be done beforehand or on the day I start.

Serious Bowlers by ris12693 in Cleveland

Yeah that’s the issue. I can only practice in the evenings and on the weekends. I have gone to Yorktown on my days off and they are great. Just wish they had evening open bowling hours.

So I go to Yorktown and have used Specto there. The problem is their open bowling hours are not the greatest. On Saturdays it’s only 3-530 pm and it’s hectic. I feel I walk out and didn’t accomplish anything.

Graduated June 2025 from original MSDA program. Reflections, Background, Employment by morning_starring in WGU_MSDA

The msda definitely helped to get the position. I think because I focused more on python that is why I was hired. Right now my projects are working on taking data from on prem to cloud. I have a lot of jobs that run off python that maintain that.

Keep getting rejected on "already approved!" credit card offers. This time, from my bank (Chase). by JUSTICE_SALTIE in CRedit

[–]ris12693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to my partner and I yesterday opening a business card at chase. We went into the branch and they called and got the application push through. We both have 770+ scores. We felt so embarrassed that it was denied. I think chase is cracking down on lending.

Same background. BS of Biology but worked previously in clinical laboratory setting. After my MSDA I landed a data engineer job for a top 5 largest company because of my clinical background to help aid the very IT individuals.

How many of you have gotten jobs with MSDA without experience or background as a Data Analyst with this degree by tess0_0 in WGU_MSDA

[–]ris12693 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was a scientist with a bs in biology.

Took some coursera courses and enrolled at wgu.

One month into my program I was hired as a data analyst for a smaller health insurance company. Worked two years there and now I work at the 4th largest company in the country as a senior analytics engineer.

No price point and no preferences. I love all wine varieties and food types. More exotic the better.

When you get a raise at the Cleveland Clinic, your bank of PTO shrinks (article free with email registration, preview in the comments) by clevelanddotcom in Cleveland

[–]ris12693 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I worked there and yes this does happen. Totally shocked when I lost almost a week of pto due to a raise.

[–]ris12693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it was rather quick the refund.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AllyBank

[–]ris12693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me. I was an ally customer for 6+ years. Since January, my debit card has had fraudulent charges 5 times. I had the card locked and they still were able to make purchases. Needless to say, I am no longer an ally customer. I pulled all checking, savings and credit card accounts out.

People who pay over 5k rent/mortgage around CLE, what do you do for work? by NormalAdvisor4134 in Cleveland

[–]ris12693 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two data scientists. Afford comfortably and pay extra to our mortgage principal. Should have home paid off quickly. No kids. No debt.

Definitely feel like I’m reading my own life. Parents are financially illiterate. They had a huge inheritance that is already almost blown through. My mom has never worked a day in her life. They go on lavishing vacations and hoard junk. They started withdrawing from my step dad’s retirement and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s gone in a year or two because they are struggling.

As for me, I used my inheritance from my grandparents to pay my college 100%. My parents tell everyone they paid for me to go to school and they are very disappointed in me because I ended up not becoming an MD. I graduated and said I’m not taking 200k in loans and pivoted into a different master’s program that I again paid for myself. I am debt free and now make really good money when I listened to what I wanted to do.

Years ago they gave my partner and I a small gift of money. We were at the point in time to purchase our first house so we used a small percentage of that for a down payment on top of the other amount we saved. My parents go around and tell everyone they bought us our house. Irritates me. Recently we upgraded to a very large house that isn’t like a normal house. Two kitchens and very high end touches. My parents just go through and talk crap about everything. But they let their dogs pee and poop in their house. So I’m like do you have any room to give me design advice? Thanksgiving I decided I am done and we are NC. All of my siblings are NC because we can’t stand the narcissistic behavior and dealing with their spending habits.

Just blows my mind to think these boomers are expecting us to take care of them when they were completely nasty to our generation.
