    I don't work in the tech industry. But it's not unheard of for companies that have the long hours that can nearly turn into 24 during parts of the year to actively look for people who of an age to have a family and just moving into a house etc....they want people with debt that need to work long...

    As I mentioned above I don't ever do anything with it being written on company letterhead and someone having signed it that I can verify that have authority to do so. I called because it was a local company and this is a very small community. I thought there would be a 50% or higher chance...

    Dunno what Foggy said. I put him on ignore a page ago when he posted the link about the A&M bonfire deaths and then posted the "good" meme. That was pretty low class. Even when Bama got hit by a tornado LSU sent supplies.

    The person I talked to today was really helpful but who knows. I got her name. Not sure if I should send the letter to her or the company. I'll let my sister word it since she is used to the language and I am more of a engineering speak type of person. Don't know if I should just send a pure...

    I think that is the option I will do. I will probably get my sister who ran a collections department for a remote security company for a while to do it once she gets back. I'm relieved that apparently I have no other charges heading that way for now. My insurance paid most of it, the owner...

    Long thread day. Sorry got a lot going on in my head this morning. Thanks for all the advice. I may at some point get something like another credit card and make payments just to have something else on my credit. I hate credit, if it hasn't shown thru before. I'm prone to saying FUCK it...

    Collections question

    I will think about it. Right now I'm just stewing on it. I contacted everyone on the list including the hospital and the Dr.'s to make sure I didn't owe anything else that would go into collections and it was all clear/paid from everyone else. I now have a joint account with my mother and she...

    It did drop. I got the score from a few services and everyone of them has a list of why it dropped or what it is. Lack of ourstanding credit. I have one credit card with a balance of whatever I charged that month which is normally something like a business lunch. No mortgage, no vehicle credit...

    Repost from the Rustled thread. Thought someone might have some insignt. The only reason I am concerned as mentioned in the other thread I do up to year long consulting contracts and normally rent a house for up to a year and most rentals now are with an agency which checks credit. I once...

    24F for a low here last night which is pretty low for the gulf coast this early in the year. Warmed up nice and sunny today to 65F so I sat out and smoked a cigar in the sun before it gets super cold again.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    We'll see. As mentioned in my original post I rarely use credit. However I do take year long or 6 month contracts and I have to rent a house and almost all houses in the areas I go to work are now with an agency. You can't explain that your 805 credit rating went to 600ish over $137. They just...

    In April my credit score was 805. I have no payments other than my normal credit card usage. I have one credit card. No other bills outside of that other than utilities and property tax etc.. I own my two homes outright with no mortage. I own my two vehicles outright. I mostly use the credit...

    Dr. Cliff Huxtable was a mega rapist

    If they keep this nonesense up about X is now rape you read about today the word is going to lose it's real meaning. Not talking about what they are now claiming about Cosby. But the amount of just true crap that some women talk about is now rape is just a joke.

    Dr. Cliff Huxtable was a mega rapist

    You know that saying hello to the wrong woman is now considered rape. Did you see the video where the woman walks thru New York taping all the "inappropriate" behavior. Well several of the men said Hello and similar type stuff and were included in the video.

    If you think anonymous people on the internet are bad. I went to a TAF (Tiger Athletic Foundation) meeting this morning to carry a proxy vote. I imagine all booster groups are similar. Makes your head hurt. Hard to imagine these people have the money to spend what they do.

    Some time I will tell you about when I got hired by an agency of the federal government to help a guy do his job. He couldn't do his job because he was part of a $400k theft from the US Forest Service and part of his plea was that he couldn't set foot on the National Forest. But the US Forest...

    I never black Friday shop but I assume all these ads you see with a brick and mortar store are in store only. I don't own a TV so was thinking of picking up something cheap. Might just walmart it. Looked at the best buy ad looks like some is available online and some in store only. I might...

    Didn't stand out till I read that Muschamp has had 5 coaching jobs in 10 years now. LSU, Miami Dolphins, Auburn, Texas, and Florida. Any ideas on their short list. I have a TAF meeting to attend Tuesday. This should be fun, like poking sharp objects in your eye kind of fun.

    What do you do?

    Like I said in my field of work it separates the people who are "professional" and work mostly in the office (I do some of both) and the shop guys who are fabricating. It's not even a money issue as some of our shop guys make six figures. But the salary guys have more leeway in a lot of areas...

    What do you do?

    I used to add $10 per sheet for every sheet I had to plot. Now I just roll it into the charge for the job if I charge per sheet. $235 per sheet for a 24x36" sheet or $55 per sheet for 11x17" sheets. Now if I could figure out a way to charge for 36 hours a day I would be in good shape.

    Did people really have faith in MooState beating both LSU and Bama in the same year? I haven't looked how often that has happened but they beat LSU 2 out of 21 last years or something simliar and I think it was worse against Bama.

    Kind of interested as well. When I did design on contract I charged them a per hour rate for revisions on top of the contract that was lump sum, per pound, or whatever else. Curious how that works etc...I always just submitted them a bill and nobody ever questioned it. I have heard of...
