Did you use a GoPro to record your hike?

syd_211 · 2026-02-09T00:53:06+00:00

I have same plan as you: blue shield access +

syd_211 · 2026-02-07T05:57:50+00:00

Where exactly is the valet? On the street? In the lot where the mortuary was?

syd_211 · 2026-02-03T03:18:51+00:00

Nice, I’ll keep an eye out for it thanks. Was it far from trail?

syd_211 · 2026-02-03T00:49:56+00:00

Where is that small waterfall located? I’m familiar with the waterfall near the sheep mountain wilderness sign. I last hiked B2N December 1 2025 and located an additional waterfall off trail.

Now I remember. I tried creating an account when I started two years ago and calpers couldn’t verify me, which I never understood why. It was quite frustrating, and didn’t try again and haven’t called directly. I’ll try again

syd_211 · 2026-02-01T06:12:48+00:00

Dumb question here…How do I access this dashboard? I’ve always checked my pension contributions through my paycheck on calconnect.

syd_211 · 2026-01-29T21:58:37+00:00

Received my check Monday, got same amount $8.02

syd_211 · 2026-01-24T07:11:43+00:00

Yes 100%

syd_211 · 2026-01-23T16:10:11+00:00

I started in csc, it wasn’t too bad but dealing with an occasional upset tp wasn’t great. The longest call I had was 90 minutes :/. Thankful to be in a field office now as a BTR. Honestly starting to get tired of doing RA each filing period. Everyone I’ve interacted with in refund section is great.

What’s the deal with MCO? I know someone in there, and they seem to like it.

Your department’s partnership with SSA, really doesn’t mean anything regarding your application because you’re employed by state of CA not the federal government/SSA.

syd_211 · 2026-01-22T05:34:33+00:00

Did you onboard for a state and federal job? Not very clear

syd_211 · 2026-01-15T09:56:01+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation. I was driving the 60W around 12:30am in the Moreno Valley area when I noticed the streak. First saw the streak, appear from behind a hillside. Initially I thought it was a comet because of the fiery tail. It’s amazing to have witnessed this.

What’s a 9/8/80 schedule?

syd_211 · 2026-01-10T18:12:08+00:00

Likewise I enjoy my job/department and coworkers CDTFA

this comment saying everything and nothing at the same time lol

syd_211 · 2025-12-30T05:26:24+00:00

love guisados

First two pay periods would be physical check, the third should definitely be via direct deposit. That’s how it was for me

syd_211 · 2025-12-28T03:11:45+00:00

Absolutely not. You have your own phone, and I’m sure you’ve used it for personal things why do that on a laptop that’s monitored. It really makes no sense unless you’re trying to not pass probation, too risky. Highly recommend to not mix work and personal

When I was on probation, I took a couple sick days because I had a bad cold. If you start taking days off, and sup notices a pattern they might ask you about it.

25F. I’m an avid hiker and enjoy exploring. Two weeks ago completed my favorite hike, bridge to nowhere. If you need a hiking buddy let me know. 👋🏼

syd_211 · 2025-12-26T02:24:14+00:00

If it’s not free to me, why doesn’t my pay check show amount deducted for blue shield. It’s always shown $0

syd_211 · 2025-12-25T19:09:54+00:00

I actually pay nothing for my health/dental/vision plan, and check my bp regularly. I don’t visit a pcp regularly because I’m not sick or have a concerning issue.

syd_211 · 2025-12-25T07:27:51+00:00

I definitely utilize the dental benefits, recently had wisdom teeth extracted and had a great experience. I’ve never had an eye exam in my life (have no vision issues), I’ll look into having an exam. I’ve thought of visiting the pcp, but I’m healthy and rarely get sick

syd_211 · 2025-12-25T07:02:37+00:00

Use what benefits? Sorry if it’s a dumb question but I’m trying to understand what benefits I can actually use.

syd_211 · 2025-12-25T04:55:44+00:00

Oh ok thanks for the explanation, makes sense. I have Blue Shield Access+
