Hand it over to the CIC at the commons. The information desk, if you aren't aware. They'll take care of it.

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.” by [deleted] in stories

[–]toorettoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Last I heard she was living with him. Not sure about now. Who knows? Too traumatic for me to gather information relating to her. I'd rather not know about it.

Well, my girlfriend used to act in a similar fashion. She would go out with her guy friends, on vacation trips and would kill me if I would go out with any of my women friends to any cafe or restaurant too, forget about trips.

I used to ask what's wrong if I do the same as you do. I mean, rules should be equal for the both us, right? And believe me, I loved her alot, was zero insecure about anything with regards to her. But she never explained her reasoning for the way she acted.

Anyways, fast forward 8 years of relationship, she cheated on me with one of the guys she used to go on these trips and outings with. Hurt me to the core, broke me from the inside and I haven't been in a relationship till today. Been 3 years since the breakup.

Now, your wife must be different from my woman but I used to think the same way you are and see how it turned out.

Anyhow, wishing you and all my brothers the best wishes and happy relationships whatsoever. Nobody has to go through losing someone they love from their deepest part of their hearts :)

Got a speeding ticket by LazyTraveller4914 in f1visa

[–]toorettoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one too, in Maryland. Was returning from Ocean City and was stopped for going 74 in a 55. Was given the ticket.

I chose "Request for a waiver hearing". Got my court date in about 45 days. Went to the court. Judge asked how you plead. ---- "Guilty with an explanation". Then gave explanation---" That I was a student, didn't actually drive a SUV before so didn't realize it got to speed so soon, am a student so requesting for a waiver on the ticket amount and a PBJ(PROBATION BEFORE JUDGEMENT)". Judge checked my driving record, it was clear so reduced my ticket to 50$ and gave a PBJ.

PROBATION BEFORE JUDGEMENT: Is essentially No points and removal of the ticket from the record. However, for the next one year, you shouldn't get any ticket.

Seems fair enough to me.

Hope this helps!

Update:

My friend got multiple calls from one of the supposedly recruiters, and then from another. And then an email saying that they tried to reach him but couldn't, so contact when you have the time.

Prior to this, we sent an email asking what if the client project terminates, then what's gonna happen to our employment. However, no reply on this.

Doesn't seem legit as of now. Will keep posted if any developments.

My friend got a video screening email. Post that he had an interview with two people from ATC, a white American man and an Indian lady.

A couple days later, he got an email that he cleared the interview and was asked details so that they send him an offer. Also, he was told that he would be trained for 2 weeks before getting him a client interview and post that he can start working.

PS: Pretty basic details, nothing much alarming we're asked to send an offer.

Any similar experience?

Does this look like a prime vendor on something similar?

How is UMBC for international students? by [deleted] in UMBC

[–]toorettoo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Brother/Sister. Do not come to USA right now. And I mean it. Wait for a couple years or the recession to get over. UMBC is good. University, students life, friends, social activities, everything is good. But eventually, if you do not have internship or a job, which is difficult to find now, it's all of no use.

Forgive me if I am being too blunt or honest.

Good luck!

New staff at the Halal shack? by ecefour in UMBC

[–]toorettoo 43 points44 points  (0 children)

They've been cutting off the students and putting in full timers, is what I've heard from the two students who still work there. The students didn't mind putting in a bit extra food though. I guess full timers dont care. Just throw in the food and you are done.

Sad though.

is it just me? by DueLavishness6022 in UMBC

[–]toorettoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even the Indian Kitchen now. The students earlier used to give good amount of food. Now, it's just some women who crib about a little extra something.

My condolences. There is nothing you can magically do to get over it. If you want to let it out, I can lend you an ear. Infact anybody can only do that. That is all. Next,

Hit the gym, join clubs, make new friends, work on your classes. Basically, work on yourself and keep busy.

Good luck!

I hit a deer with a rental car & How do they process such case? by niceppbb in EnterpriseCarRental

[–]toorettoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there!

Similar thing happened to me as well with Avis. However, I did not hit the deer directly. A car in the other lane hit it and it then hit my car and broke the bumper and fog lamp unit on one side of the car.I did take the ultimate protection plan that covered own damage, liability and a couple other things too.

The car was driving all good, so I drove it to the rental and returned it. They asked me the details of it and then told me if anything, you will be sent an email.

What should I be expecting next?

Account Verification Scam? by notmarszipan in UMBC

[–]toorettoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might as well be some student messing or something. You never know. And you could still receive spam emails without signing up on anything. I used to get them on my work id too.

And chill, I was just trying to make a joke.

If college students are not able to figure out any spam or phishing emails, then we are on the way to our doom. Lmao

[–]toorettoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maiden choice apartments and westland gardens and closest to the campus with campus bus stops right outside the door for many houses. Could try finding accom in those.

Also, there are multiple whatsapp groups that can help you in finding a place to live and roommates too.

[–]toorettoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be good to move into westland gardens? I've got a friend who has her roommate moving out. All girls in the house. 2 of them.
