'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
-t I realized that I haven't worked in retail for almost 10 years, I can look at what I got paid, but I'm not sure how that translates to what I'd get paid today.
I have to keep reminding myself that no matter what I do I'll be taking a pay cut because my supervisor figured out how to overpay me to keep me to stay.
Did I tell you I have a weird phobia of old places/things?
Are you picking up vibrations from the recently deceased again?
How about this abandoned roller coaster track in the fog?
That's one of my all time favorites.
THAT one creeped me out.
Are you picking up vibrations from the recently deceased again?
See, and I don't even believe in that stuff. It's more of a "human just the same as me walked past this like I walk past that church downtown" I'm trying to link it to that book ita mentioned, "The Earth Without Us" because it has that kind of feel to me.
Hey! Here's the amusement park I grew up with! Pirate's World! (Really)
Pirate's World!
I was really hoping that this was an amusement park *for* pirates.
I think the creepiest place I've ever been is Gettysburg. You look out over those fields and it's like you can feel the weight of everything that happened there. It's got a very odd vibe. The natural beauty of the place probably enhances it.
For financial planning, P-C, you want a fee-only financial planner [link]. They don't sell investments; they just help you figure out how to invest for a fee.
How much do they cost?
vw's brother crunched the numbers and gave me some estimates for monthly payments. They're higher than I would have liked. Oops. I don't relish the prospect of paying close to triple what I'm paying in rent.
I'm with Daisy on the creeps getting.
Is he picking up panda poop, Sparky? I guess that actual job might get boring, but so fun to mention at cocktail parties!
It's been around 5 years for me, askye. From what I recall, I was getting minimum wage plus a few dollars and hour, and management got a bit more than that.
Of course, the minimum wage hasn't gone up in a while.
It's hard to take a paycut, especially if they value yo that much. Any chance of negotiating your job into part-time, maybe you wouldn't hate it so much if you didn't do it all day every day, and thatwould give you more time for classes. And then pick up some evening and weekend hours in retail. That can give you a lot of variety, which can be satisfying, but it can also balloon into far too much work during, say, Christmas shopping season.
