New England B.S. Thread

yes, but when I ask my scheduling Sgt. for time off no matter what or when it is I get it off, no questions...

 

Still wouldn't be worth it, to me. I work to live, not vice versa. As it is, half the time I wish I could just work 4 10's or 4 12's and call it a week.

 

Where's the dislike button...

 

this also goes for my retirement.. I have to have 25/55 25 years service, and 55 age to retire.. my returement is based on an average of my best 3 years and they all have to be within 5% of the 4th best year. I've been pulling in over 80k last year, and looking at about the same this year.. if I keep it up for the next 2 years ill have a retirement worth 58% of the average of my best 4 years,, meaning ill be retiring with a yearly income of over $45k, not to mention my 457k plan, and my other investments... long term planning...

 

I'll be sleeping about 20 feet away from the Sheepscot, the deepest river in Maine. It's like a natural air conditioner and is usually 10 degrees cooler than just 2 miles inland.

 

Yeah, it's a fog machine.

Not bad! It's mid to high 90s here all week, "feels like 104" today. Very humid, and very nice. I still don't use my AC while driving. Just roll the windows down and enjoy it.

 

Sorry to butt in randomly, just wanted to throw some NE stalking pics up.

This guy ^ is in my office lot from time to time. Not so modified on the left is mine. Lifted one on right was spotted while I was doing some work in RI. It had so many Meso mods on it that I want. Puddles and turns specifically.

 

I haven't turned the AC in my truck on once this year, just windows

 

Yeah... but we just established that you don't drive your truck so we'll just assume you're blasting the A/C in whatever other means of transportation you're using

I'm usually windows open also but that's because I drive in early when it's still tolerable and leave late when it's starting to cool off. If I drive anywhere mid-day, A/C blasting the whole way. I'm very much anti-swamp ass.

 

Right...



I'm normally not one to run the AC in the house, but I'll probably turn it on Saturday morning.

 

Remember how I used to bitch and moan about the cold and the mild summers? I'm used to hot and humid, not cold and humid haha

I love the heat. Doing manual labor in 100 degrees sucks, sure, but besides that it's all upsides. Plus, y'all should see the people in Nashville in the summers!

I also will definitely crank the AC in the apartment, but once I'm out I don't.

 

I have never had my AC off in my truck once. Not once since I've owned it. 30 below zero in Northern Maine and the AC is still on with the heat.

 

I have and yes, you do have a point...

 

Ours changed months before I was hired to a minimum age of 60. You only need ten years of service to collect, but if that's all you have the amount you get is tiny. I started young enough where I can hit 80% of the average of my five highest years if I stay to 62. Plus whatever my Roth amounts to. That said, I don't contribute to social security so I have no potential to see anything there.
