Essay21 2,385 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Working from home again. Can’t believe I waited so long to start doing this, productivity be damned. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 A recruiter reached out to me about a position at a credit union. Would be a small raise on base but it has the potential for a 16% bonus. I basically told him not really interested but to keep me in mind for other positions with a higher salary range and also work from home opportunities and not in St Paul which is a nightmare to commute to. As part of a lawsuit dismissal we have to open up a branch in a more...urban...area which is going to be pretty close to where I live (because I’m a poor). Hopefully, there will be some office space and my boss will let me work from there once or twice a week like the other analyst gets to, except we’re selling that branch in July so he’ll probably start coming in every day, which is a bummer because I don’t really care for him.

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 funny, i had a recruiter call me at the office yesterday. i told her i find it gauche to recruit someone on his office line and to send me a message on linkedin like everyone else. she did, and now i'm going to ice her out as a teaching moment. seriously though the job isn't something i would even consider. but still, the balls to call someone at their current job to talk like that.

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I had a recruiter do that to me once, too. Told them to never contact me again. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I respect the guy's hustle. Sounds like you two don't have any hustle, and wouldn't be a good fit for his company anyway. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I don’t know if I would be interested in Mobile either. It’s not a very big city. I would absolutely move to the middle of nowhere if the money were right, don’t get me wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Essay21 2,385 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I almost bought a new tv yesterday but the salesman at Best Buy didn’t close. I mean I don’t need a new tv, but I want one and a good salesman could have helped pull the trigger. Very disappointing experience. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 If you’re not buying an OLED from LG than I don’t want to hear it. Some combination of playing fetch with my dog/sleeping on it has made mocing my wrist extremely painful. Fortunately, it’s my off hand, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Sorry, I’m looking Samsung on this deal. Gotta go with who you trust. When do you move? You got a house right? I’m losing my memory at an early age. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I technically don’t have a house yet because the sellers still need to get a house under contract before we can move forward. It’s extremely frustrating and with every day that passes my anger towards myself for giving into these terorristic demands grow. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 And I’m sorry but the LG oled is so far ahead of everything else right now I can’t in good conscience not fight you on this. That’s how much I care about you. I see them go on sale frequently, too, so don’t let the list price scare you off. I think once I close on my house and get some savings built back up I’m going to start job hunting. I cannot stand my coworkers. I know that’s a risk anywhere but at least I’d be making more and hopefully have a better commute situation. Link to post Share on other sites
