Oh boy, here we go again...

"We are super impressed with your CV.. are you open for a remote work."
"Yes I am"
"Can we meet in X"
"I'm currently in Y town, but happy to meet you there at an specified date"
"Oh sorry we wanted X local" (something that was NEVER specified in the job position.

On a serious not you deserve so much better than that and why the heck would they care if the work is going to be mostly remote?????????

My secondary complaint about comparison is the dreaded inflation comparison. The "Disney has exceeded the rates of inflation". Yes, they have, but it has no basis for comparison. Inflation is measured by the cost of necessary items. Disney is not now and never was a necessity. It isn't counted in the inflation numbers because it is the a luxury item. The cost of a Rolls Royce isn't factured in either. As a luxury item it doesn't factor into what people can afford, it is governed only by what people will pay. Nice work if you can get it.

100% agree.
And, the same with sporting events...attending them is not a necessity.
Basically, one of the main reasons we haven't been to a sporting event in quite a while, and we haven't been to WDW on a family week-long trip since the summer of '13. We were there for 3 days (only 2 park days) in Feb. of '16 for the Princess 5K, and then Megan, daniel, Emmy and I did that one day "Worldwind" trip on Oct. 29th of '19.

This is a well known trick that people are using to lure workers.
They claim that the job is "remote" and then in tiny letters or outright refuse to tell that the job is not even remote at all.. its an in office.
Since almost noone wants to work in offices during covid.. they are being this dirty.

I hope your dh doesn't get called out as it seems as if the entire east coast is going to get slammed with various types of carp
He’s on standby. If it comes this carp, he will be in it probably all next week.
I just finished supplying my pantry with food, propane canisters for my heater, and other supplies. Plus, the mandatory sugar free ice cream and popsicles😉 So, bring it on you big, bad storm!!😜

I did an inventory this morning and will do a produce/milk/eggs run before dawn on Saturday. I don't need much, mostly fresh salad fixings:joyfull: I have no plans on leaving my house for 10 days after the storm unless we get lucky fingers crossed

I had a coleman propane stove (brand new) that I only used once in about 15 years. I sold it when I moved to my present apartment. How much you wanna bet that it will be needed this weekend. They are being suspiciously vague about how this storm is supposed to affect the Raleigh area. I guess we are on the line between nothing and what the hell was that!

I think your hubby (if called in, off standby), should bring a hibachi and charcoal with him in his truck. He could also have a cooler with hot dogs, etc., buns, and everything to go with them -- and have a barbecue for dinner. (He could invite his electric company pals to join him. It would be fun.) Plus, if he brings a bag of marshmallows, they could toast those, too, for dessert! :hungry: Since his company sends him out to all kinds of locations, there might not be many restaurants open if the weather is bad/icy, for him to get dinner.
