Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I just did this this the other day to add my bike. In fuelly on the right side of the page you'll see this -

Copy either the BBcode or the HTML code...I think I tried both, one worked, one did not.

Paste that into your signature...I think. Good Luck!

 

so poker flat has a killer water crossing, that is good news!

unprepared rental trucks. I am going to print out a charge list for getting unstuck to have in the truck. If you rent a truck without a brain (bad things can happen getting stuck in the middle of nowhere), then you get to rent my help.

 

1. Strap on $100
2. Reach around $200
3. Pulling out $300

 

Lol...that's an excellant idea! They did give me a beer at least.

Yeah, I waded into the water with a stick and just about got knocked down. I looked around for another crossing but didn't see anything obvious. I've done loads of backpacking and have crossed a lot of fast streams....this was a pretty good one. I think I coulda driven it but not solo.

 

Yeah, and ice cold too. Falling in that is no joke.

 

there are actually two crossings there, there is a fork to each. The higher one can be slower, but it sounds like that may have been a lil strong also.

 

I checked downstream before I entered. There were plenty of exit points and things to grab onto. But didn't want to get submerged into 40 degree water all that much.

Good to know for next time, thanks!

 

According to yuba expeditions it's just sunrise now

 

What sites or sources do you guys use when looking for a new job? I'm on my last nerve at my current job (paralegal/accountant at law office) and need to change it up soon. Just not sure where to start. I've been at my job for the last 7 years and have had 2 other jobs before this one (6 years and 3 years), but I'm kind of in a pickle because this current job is not what I want to do, but my past jobs and degree is in teaching (never got my credential). Would need to go back to school to get into teaching, but also need to keep near by current salary at this time (which 1st year teaching won't provide). So I'm not sure exactly where I want to end up...adulting sucks.

 

I hear your pain. I was looking at some career burnout issues and what can I do that is totally unrelated. It can be very hard. Something that may help you get your brain in the game as a starter is a Linked In account. When you put in your skills, it will start sending you emails/messages about related opportunities. More importantly, it might start cracking open some real-people networking opportunities (in the unlikely event your TW network does not land you a dream job LOL).

Also, if you are at that much of an impasse, you can go old school with a "What Color is My Parachute" workbook exercise. It goes beyond "getting another job" to "what do I actually find most important in a job/career."

 

I feel ya man! I have been at my current job for 21 years next month. I have nowhere else to go up and am just getting burned out doing what I do but am to chicken shit to make a move. Want to keep current salary (or make more) but don't see that happening here. Does Linked In deal with blue collar type jobs also?

 

sure does.

 

Jason do you have any tips for linked in that made a difference? I have had very little luck on there but it could be that I'm low on the totem pole in the business/technology world.

 

Linked In is definitely the top spot. I get messages monthly about job offers.

 

I did not know anything about groups before you mentioned it... so that helps. Thanks. And I'll hit you up

 

shameless connection request sent.

 

all about that possible growth
