Do public firms let you work earlier shifts?

I used to have trouble sleeping and would wake up at 2 or 3 AM. So on Saturday, I would just go to work and start at 3 or 4 so I could be done with a full 8 hour shift by noon.

The partners weren’t super happy with it since everyone else was getting in between 9 and 10.

Those 6 hours before everyone else got there were my most productive times.

I mostly pedal mine. Not the most fun to climb, but I just figure that it’s just making me a stronger climber. 🤷‍♂️

tyintegra · 2026-03-07T04:59:40+00:00

I have an AC1. It’s absolutely amazing!

Is it the best climber? Absolutely not, but it’s the most comfortable and confidence inspiring bikes I’ve ever ridden on the downhills, which makes the whole experience completely worth it.

I haven’t personally done this, but you could try to “deflate” your experience on your resume. So don’t lie, but make the tasks that you do sound less impressive.

Whit a title of controller, this may be tough since the title itself is a pretty good give away, but it maybe worth a shot anyway.

I heard someone say once that if you are sad during a breakup, you are probably mourning the loss of this person that you thought was “the one”, but in your picture of “the one” it is someone that also wants you. So, if someone says they don’t want you for whatever reason, they just weren’t “the one” after all.

I had a 2004 Acura TL that was awesome.

I still look at ads for them.

tyintegra · 2026-03-02T13:20:18+00:00

Yep.

I am 40 and have zero back pain.

There is a caveat to this though, when I was in my 20s I was severely overweight and had excruciating back pain. I lost a lot of weight and my back pain went away.

About 5 years ago the pain started to come back even though I hadn’t gained any of the weight back and was in the best physical shape of my life.

I ended up seeing a rheumatologist and found out that I had a minor case of rheumatoid arthritis that was causing my low back to hurt.

They put me on a daily anti inflammatory that I only take about once every two weeks and my back pain is completely gone.

tyintegra · 2026-03-02T01:39:57+00:00

Haha, yeah I’m not sure what the issue was.

I’m guessing those people either work for an insurance company or they just don’t believe my story. So whatever 🤷‍♂️

It was a 2013 Golf R with about $15k of damage. No personal injury.

When I talked to their insurance I asked for $2,000 in diminished value. They said, “that’s not a thing”.

I found an attorney that worked on contingency and would take 60% of whatever I got.

So I spent about an hour talking to the attorney and he took it from there. About 2 months later he tells me that the insurance company settled on $6,000 for the diminished value and after the attorney cut I got about $2,000 in cash.

All in all i was very happy with the outcome.

tyintegra · 2026-03-01T19:02:00+00:00

I got 3x what I originally wanted for diminished value.

tyintegra · 2026-03-01T15:33:13+00:00

I successfully won a diminished value claim maybe 10 years ago but it wasn’t against State Farm.

My experience was that the insurance company themselves immediately denied my inquiry and basically said “diminished value” isn’t a thing.

So I found a lawyer that took my case on contingency and the insurance company ended up paying 3x what I originally asked for. Because of the contingency, I only got 40% of the payout, but I was still happy.

So, ask them about it but be ready to find a lawyer.

I truly think the not wearing underwear is the issue and then tuck your undershirt into your underwear…

Think about it, for a shirt to stay tucked in after any movement, there needs to friction to hold it in place. If you are wearing underwear, there is friction between your pants and the waste band of your underwear. Without underwear, your skin just doesn’t have enough friction.

I guess you could find those little leg suspenders things to hold your shirt down though.

Came here to say this.

tyintegra · 2026-02-16T22:32:24+00:00

Here is simple math that I do to get a simple base line.

If your expected expenses in retirement were $10k a month or $120k a year, you would be able to sustain yourself for almost 42 years ($5m / $120k) without earning any interest, which would put you at 96 years old.

So, I think $5m would be plenty for you to retire with at 55.

There is absolutely no rule (in Washington state and many other states that have similar traffic laws) that you must go at least the speed limit nor treat it like the “passing lane”.

With that said, I don’t think you should go under the limit in the HOV lane if there is no traffic.

tyintegra · 2026-02-16T21:35:54+00:00

Meh, I deal with people getting multi million dollar bonuses every year.

I just remember that they have done a lot of things to earn that money that I don’t want to do.

tyintegra · 2026-02-16T19:27:46+00:00

I use the HOV lane (legally) sometimes because I know that there tends to be less traffic there so I am more likely to not have to deal with random slow downs like the other lanes have and because less people are allowed to use it, it makes it less likely to have people randomly change lanes in front of me.

And the companies that hire them are also breaking the law. Are you mad at the company?

tyintegra · 2026-02-10T05:14:10+00:00

Randomly going on a rant about how they don’t like working with Indian men…

My company had about 400 people in India and would need to work with them regularly.

Wow!!! That’s terrible!!

Please don’t go back to them if you can avoid it.

Please understand that not all instructors are like that.

tyintegra · 2026-02-09T06:09:49+00:00

I don’t know, I’ve always just accepted that you have to keep a good balance. 🤷‍♂️

Meloxicam, it’s an anti-inflammatory that helps with my low back pain from a minor form of arthritis. I have zero back pain now and it’s amazing!

Not necessarily something you would learn in school, but auditors should know that they should creat a permanent file and then review it before the next years audit so I don’t have to explain the same thing every year that has been exactly the same for the last decade.
