Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Thats low pay. I was thinking more west coast. Im fond of California to much to move

 

It's not a bad gig. Yesterday at a wedding, I was asked by many family members if I was still "doing gardening". I just say yes, unless they want to know more.
I switched jobs a year ago. Smaller company, closer to home, more pay, and a higher position. At the last company, I was set to PM the landscaping portion ($20M) of the Apple spaceship and just finished the UCSF Benihoff Children's center ($5M). I would miss my kids for 2 years, so I bailed. Now it's just $550k dog parks and a bunch of decent public works jobs, you know, just gardening. "Planting flowers and stuff" is what my family says...

 

its ok im known as the "carpet salesman". Yeah thats all i do.

 

On another note, is anyone going to Moab this year for Rock Therapy?

When then I suggest you take the time and look around yourself. Just showing the jobs are out there. I'm not HR and I'm not looking for you...

 

Lol, i will / do all the time. Im already a government worker and we get paid to train, promote,interviews, ect. I never really looked at national parks in general but i havnt seen anything local pop up in my feild. Thanks for posting, its the thought that counts.

 

If you can budget it, we think it's worth it. We took massive income cuts to be here but we both agree it was so worth it.

My only caveat is this. Always remember the park service is run by a buncha hippie tree huggers. Very slow, very laid back, very... different. If you can work your head around that, it's great!

 

Lol, thats funny most of the state is run on the same mentality.

 

Congrats on the change in life. Its nice working for the government. Stress level is low. Easy to get time off.and lots of benefits.

We've only known govt jobs. (Career Navy and I'm LE-ret)

 

it's been too long since I've been on here.

 

Nice! Just got my OBA and dual battery setup completed. That thread and the dual battery one were very helpful. Couldn't have done it without the the input and help from @Iggy.

 

I hella wanted to do this but it's not gonna happen this year. My truck isn't ready for this yet. But by next year it's game on

 

Oh I'm ready and truck would probably do fine with the armor I have ( BAMF skid and sliders) but would feel more comfy with the HC bumper and a mid skid. Plus I took a month off in January so getting the time off would be tough.
Bumper was ordered today

 

Brute force

 

LE. The Federal Courthouse might be the place.
