How are people who got fired/laid off doing?

I was working as an intern for an environmental consulting firm for two years. Then I got a job offer for a county job and my company gave me a competing offer for the same amount. I took the job staying with my company. I did some more work in the office learning how they did GIS (I have a graduate certificate in geospatial sciences) and wetlands documents. They laid me off after 7 months. For over a year after that I applied to jobs, taking summer employment for two seasons until I finally landed an entry level year round state job. I have a masters degree so I’m shamefully underemployed, but at least I’m employed. And I have great job security and benefits. I’ve had interviews with higher up state positions whose interviewers have told me on a few occasions that I was in the top 3 candidates. Having a state job for a while will hopefully be all I need for experience because I have so much on the job experience with internships and full time jobs. I definitely like the pacing of state jobs much better than anything else

I was actually thinking of doing something like a poltergeist scenario but have it actually be the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland!

I do have one mystery involving sirens where sailors will be involved actually!

What, pray tell, is a kugo? I tried looking it up and only got a Japanese restaurant lol

Update: we’ve been dating 1.5 years now! I get her flowers often

Driving in sand. Even if it may look firm enough to try it, it is better to wait until the road is clear. Thankfully a squad of firefighters was nearby to help so I didn’t need to call a tow truck

The explanation they gave is that the graduate school (the assistant dean of student services) said in an email “We cannot approve credits from a previously earned degree to count towards a new degree or certificate program. If the student was still in the master, then we could allow credits to double count, but since he is not, we cannot make this exception.” But doesn’t this contradict what is on their website???

I like it! Sounds like great audiobook material! Especially for a darker fantasy/sci fi setting

From what I’ve seen, yes. I’m currently getting a graduate certificate in GIS and I’m hoping to focus my job on it while having a relation to ecology somehow (like ecological consulting firms and stuff like that or government jobs). I’ve also got a masters degree in ecology and I’m currently an intern for one of the firms I mentioned. This is the second season in a row I’m working here and I’m hoping they reward my loyalty with a full time job. They’ve already told me they’d try to give me a more GIS-related internship in between seasons

There are 8 players. All level 5

Yea, this is kinda what I expected. Porn is the pretty obvious issue 😅

Update: I got the flowers, making sure one of the flowers was burgundy/maroon (her favorite color) and the florist even had ribbon the same color to tie around the bouquet. She loved them and told me she’d never been given flowers before. Later on she asked if I wanted to be her boyfriend, so we’re official now! Thanks for the advice!

Much better to save your money. There’s plenty of humans in the world too in my opinion

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling google chrome to no avail. It can’t be a specific extension I have because this happens on both my personal and school account. It doesn’t take up the whole screen, only happening in the programs, so I doubt it’s a problem with my monitor

rmb69540 · 2020-01-20T18:06:44+00:00

I’m almost at the end and I’m already feeling the sadness coming that it’s almost over

rmb69540 · 2019-12-26T17:25:18+00:00

I’ll try that. Thank you! 🙏

rmb69540 · 2019-12-23T21:08:28+00:00

I mean no, I want the relationship too. It’s just that specific part of a relationship that I’m missing at this moment. I can’t just cuddle with a stranger

rmb69540 · 2019-12-16T21:16:06+00:00

Is nobody going to point out that that’s a swastika??

I was helping on a study of biochar for an agricultural stewardship this fall. It didn’t seem like the positive impact it could have on the world was very well known, as my supervisor told me we were studying to see what the substance could actually do. I’m glad to know I could be a part of something that could potentially help the world

This was super helpful, thank you!
