1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Eh, you'll build one eventually.

Would you actually get into metal work? Or move onto wood working? What would you use it for?

 

Keep stuff out of the weather, be able to work on my shit at my house instead of my parents, trap shed, put a walk in cooler in it.

the house we're in isn't our forever home, so probably not shop here.

 

Gotcha, makes sense.

Definitely keep it though, rental property

 

Maybe, the next couple years we have the chance of a potential bust over boom, not much activity, not many people looking to rent

 

All the applications I’ve submitted these last 2-3 months have now returned with essentially (not copy pasting it…) “we did not consider/review your application due to regulatory requirements for priority placement of veterans, higher ranking, and/or priority placements that must be considered first” and one listing was just canceled.

I’ll keep trying since I really can’t stay in this state much longer. I felt I was fairly qualified for this last listing but it did have ~70 applicants. I just want an interview to practice. Considering I haven’t interviewed for anything since February 2023.

 

Is this government jobs?

 

Yeah I can imagine that gets incredibly tiring. It's extra annoying when all of the impediments to actually working are disguised (or attempting to disguise) as things that are helping.

 

Damn

I know Texas is really pro-veteran but I hope that wasn't one of the conditions in your case.

In CA, businesses can get tax credits and more benefits for employing a veteran over a non-veteran. But if a non-veteran excels over a vet, then the hell with the lesser qualified applicant

You looking to just leave TX in general or do you have a state in mind you wish to relocate to?

 

Yup. I’m in an agency that is still hiring.

 

Have you thought about leaving it?

 

Nah I have some compelling reasons to stay in. Some of my qualifications are irrelevant outside of defense contractors and 3-4 agencies. I’m guaranteed a promotion to the next grade because some people will die or retire in the next 3-5 years. But ideally I’d get a promotion position somewhere before that.

I’d go almost anywhere but the Midwest, salt belt, and the south. I’ve applied to stuff in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, South Carolina, and overseas.

 

Lot of defense in AZ too

 

I don’t think I’d hate AZ. Seems less aggressive towards some of my hobbies. One of my main dislikes of Texas is the lack of respect and understanding towards me when I run, hike, cycle, etc. And our minimal public land.

 

We got a ton of public land
Hiking running and cycling is hell 6+ months out of the year without driving a couple hours away though

 

Dad - having fun





Kid - the fuck you are
