    It's not TTY, and I don't think it has Loctite on the threads, I didn't find a good reason why the bolt cannot be reused. I don't think I've replaced it in any of the TB/WP jobs I've done.

    It has some interesting stampings on the end, I didn't think it was worth debating though, they're cheap. I ordered a few at a time to combine the shipping

    Sounds like it isn't a good relationship to begin with.

    A real partner would support you in bettering yourself, because it benefits both of you as a team.

    I made the mistake of being with the wrong person.

    Don't make that mistake again and focus on you.

    Yea it’s pretty closely related. Still, the pay doesn’t seem great at only 23/hr to start. That’s not even that much more than the cafe. I guess it does come with healthcare and some time off though.

    Even staying near the same rate imo it'll put you in a much better position to get the next job having more professional industry work experience vs trying to jump straight in from a coffee shop.

    At least that's how I did it, took a pretty low paying job in my field after being in all food service jobs through college, and then leveraged that experience into a half-decent job a year later.

    I feel your pain. I'm staring down the barrel of a similar move. 1000 miles away to place I know NOBODY. With a lot of things in life, it's good to ask yourself "what is the worst that can happen?" And answer it honestly. For me it's easy to see that if I hate it, it is NOT permanent and I can always move back here. So the worst thing is I go try something and learn from it. Try to look at the opportunity and not what will be in the rear view. Congrats on the move though, the palouse is a great place, and while I've been gone for a decade I could still point you to some cool stuff once you get there.

    Oh for sure, it is part of the allure of it all. Fresh start in life, new city, new State, New name :anonymous:
    It'll be a good experience for you to lean back on later in life. Stressful, for sure, but it's the right direction.

    I always had wished I had went by my middle name, but having friends that was hard to change. This move is a perfect opportunity to change it up.
