Couple of pics of them clearing it on the county's twitter page.

 

And blackbear just opened as well congrats to the summit attendees

 

Have you ever considered Woodmoor Mountain?

 

Saw a white 2nd gen DC with the FJ TRD wheels (black) and a Tepui RTT at REI about an hour ago.

Really nicely built truck and look gorgeous.

Was it you?

 

No you couldn't! FAIL!!!!

WOOT!

Nope. Gonna check it out now.

 

I just submitted my Top Secret Clearance to try and switch jobs in the Army since mine is over-strength I either have to get out or change.. chose to change if my packet is approved.

 

Pluto and it's largest moon Charon! 4 Days and about 5 hours until closest approach.

 

Good luck with that! I know how much of a pain it is to job search. I'm dealing with that currently too.

Kind of how I am. "Grew up" in the Springs. It's not like it used to be. Lived in Fort Collins for school... I desperately want to go back North, or even in the Castle Rock/Larkspur area (but need money for that).

It's a good plan to find a temporary place to live to house search. Like said, South East is pretty hit or miss with the sketchy areas by the airport. Lived in Old Colorado City for a while and wasn't bad, but you gotta deal with a lot of homeless and we got tired of it. Moved recently over near the Broadmoor (which is funny because everyone assumes you have a million dollar home over here lol) but we're in the historic area with homes as old as the 1890s so they're a little more modest. Very cute and quiet neighborhood though. I love the history. I live across the street from one of the original houses of a man who owned almost the entire area way back when.

 

Ditto. Took me about a solid month to find a job here. Lots of stuff out there but finding something you want to wake up for every day is another story.

 

I've been applying to IT jobs for two months, they either pay half what they should for the required skills, or I never get a call back.

 

I've been applying even before I got out of school. You don't even want to know how many I've put in for lol. I either get no response, gets canceled, "people more qualified applied", or pushed out by hiring preferences. One job I went and did a panel interview three separate times for...and they decided not to hire anyone. :/ I at least have my current job as something to hold me over, but it's just that, a job.

 

Getting my first job out of school sucked ass, a lot. It took 4 months and that's when the economy was screaming hot. I could easily see it taking 1+ years if I had finished school in the last year or two. I would say the economy is poor right now, anyone who says it has recovered is blind.

 

If you're in N. CO & wanting to do any off roading in the Poudre/Red Feather area, it may not happen this year until late, if at all.

Muddy conditions delay Forest Service road openings

 

Good morning!



I get so into auto pilot and forget how nice the sun rise looks in the morning. Have a good day.

 

What's your skill set?

 

Desktop and Remote Support, Tier 2 Help Desk. Familiar with various virtualization schemes, scripting, Linux, OS X, Windows, and iOS + Android. AD management, a little SCCM, and of course the usual printers/MFP's, basic networking troubleshooting.

 

We do not need anyone right now, but it good to know if something happens. If we get a bigger site and relocate, we'll most likely need someone.

The problem with IT jobs is that over qualified people take the lower jobs, and pay cuts to do so, leaving the entry to mid-level jobs under paid.

 

Yeah. I literally just got out of a meeting with my boss; I'm getting moved off night shift after waiting 8 months and contemplating jobs with a 50% pay cut just to get off nights which have wrecked my body, mind, and a bit of my soul after two years.

I'm still in shock and kind of don't believe it. I start on days on Monday.

 

Congrats! Now to start rebuilding yourself.
