NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I'm going to Banff early August. How was it in the winter time?

 

Yep!
I was going to search for this one but got busy at work...

 

Yeah, do you get on call pay and differential pay for nights? To pay for your ummm...differential?

 

It was great, it was a little warmer than I expected. I've never seen such a diverse and rugged landscape in person before. It just leaves you speechless. I would love to go back during the summer, we didn't get to see much game (we fortunately ran into a herd of 80 elk though). Lots of great places to eat in town, you'll have to check out Lake Louise and Emerald Lake too. Do you have any activities planned?

 

Tacoland, or... So where central like factoria area?

 

Yeah, I'm always scheduled for evening shift (2:30-11pm) so I get an extra $1.50/hour just for working evenings or weekends.
When I'm on call I get $50 for just taking call, then if I get called in I clock in for normal pay on top of that. Pretty good deal for someone my age

 

Nice! And to think, you could be working retail!
Always said you were smart!

 

I may do that part time too.. One of my friends is going to hook me up with a job at Bellevue square mall that pays almost the same as this job

 

Oh? you'd be walking distance from my studio. DO IT

 

I'll be a little late guys. Me and my two buddies are going to catch traffic

 

Same here!

 

My friend is going to Europe for the summer so he is going to get me to fill in for him I think. It'll double my paychecks, or cut the LT save up time in half

 

Just don't make it a career. I spent 20 years in retail, retired as a V.P., now I run a f'ing MALL! WTF!!
( granted, I got lucky with my Co.s IPO, but how many get that chance?)
( also, no mall crawler comments)
Kris, 27 years nursing, just went back to clinical E.R. Will make more than she did a as a Clinical Supe over 300 nurses!

 

Arr...this place is crowded...

 

Could try the Beardslee public house. Big parking garages there too

 

So when I'm done with school you'll be ready to retire, and I'll take over your position right?

 

That place will likely be worse. There is Vessel wines across the street looks pretty empty there. It's a cool little place.

 

EVERYONE! Triplehorn is packed, new meeting spot is Vessel Wines across the street pretty much!

 

Yeah, I retired for 3 years till the market crashed, and Jr. Wanted to go to UW, and Nurse went for her Masters. At UW. So, $11k per semester x 2. Then, back to work for me! Hoping for a bout 4 more years to retire again. Then me and Taco are off to St. Thomas ,USVI.. I hope.

 

I like the idea of Factoria. Or the Berliner in Renton
