And the crazy part is your laptop is probably already outdated in terms of bleeding edge tech shit.
Oh, I know. I bought on price point, I don't care about having the best, I just want something that isn't a POS

Brother from another mother...I'm in the exact same boat.

I've found that I have zero interest in promotions, but I'm motivated by new challenges. I'm more motivated being unemployed and interviewing than I have been in a while. Not that you need to :nuke: your current company, but maybe try to move laterally? Not every move needs to be a promotion, especially if more money is :aintcare: There's a very high personal cost for more income, and I just don't see it worth it to me.

I also have few hobbies, but I'm going to start volunteering. I think I've had life too easy in the grand scheme and feel a hole in me that could be filled by giving back in some way. I'm thinking about being a big brother to a kid who's had a rough go. Maybe I can change his life a bit by providing a positive/educated influence that could steer him in the right direction. I'm incredibly motivated by that idea.
You could be like a counselor for a camping group or Boy Scouts or whatever.
I didn't have kids because I don't like children younger than 10ish. And there's a lot of kids between 10ish and 18 that got dealt a really shitty hand in life and I'd really love to give them a leg up if possible. Boy scouts ain't it, but if a kid wanted to, I'd help him figure that stuff out.

I want to step in where others failed. Turning around a life is more appealing to me than making one that's set from day one. I think that's my "purpose" for humanity. :gaydance:

Eagle scout checking in. Nfw would i want to babysit the misfits again. The cool outdoorsy kids sure, but thats like 30% compared to the 70% that the parents stick in because its the closest thing they could find to military rules and any sort of discipline for their little monster.

Most the kids had no intention or desire to be there.

Did I never mention losing a house a day before closing after being moved out of the old one and being forced to live with my dad for 2 months before we found a new one?
Been homeless/in-laws for over 2 months now and just now losing the house. I’m going to try to call in every favor I have and then some.

I know man. It's a fucking raw deal and you just got screwed. It's a terrible feeling and I'm sorry to hear that it went this way for you. House deals never go smoothly, but this is extra bullshit you didn't need to deal with.

I still don't quite understand the entire situation, but maybe there's a chance of a hail Mary?

I just think about the lonely kids. The kids that might not have a strong male influence, or feel lost. Probably not drawn to anything in particular, just floating and alone. I'd love to help them if I can. I feel like that's my thing somehow.

I’ve thought about doing this too. Would definitely be rewarding. But the days of me not having my own kid(s) are coming to an end here in the next few years, so that’ll be something I have to do after I’m done raising my own.

Man, I just finally finished watching the last Jeopardy episodes with Trebek. It's really weird seeing the show without him.

Assplain
I think I'll be most successful in a smaller organization where I can have more input that's actually valued by leadership. I want a flat org with minimal bureaucracy and management layers to work though. I want to be given a problem to solve (not a stupid impossible corporate metric) and given the autonomy and resources to solve it quickly and effectively without a bunch of micromanagement :bs: and layers of "management" idiots to tell me how I'm going to solve it. I'm a critical thinker with a brain that never shuts off requiring constant exercise. You'd think that would be valued to employers, but it's not at big corps from my experience.

I don't fit in well with big corps. I crashed and burned badly at FCA, I left GM because of crippling bureaucracy, and while the new gig I'm likely going to be offered is different and flatter, I'm still not entirely sure it's the right move.

I'm in final rounds with another company that's in post-startup growth mode, recently acquired by a larger corp that's leaving them alone. I've interacted with the corp in other jobs, and it's actually a good one from my past experience. Not only is the culture what I like, but it would shift my focus from physical products to digital, which is exactly what I want for future career growth AND it would be a promotion with a pay increase. Everyone I've interviewed with so far has been awesome, and it's a place where I feel like I could really thrive. I've never wanted a job this bad.

BUT, no offers yet, still final rounds to go, so anything is possible.

If GM came in before the other one, I'd be in a tough spot because I really don't have much interest in that big corp life anymore. Would I risk extended unemployment and turn down the GM gig in hopes of the other one coming through? And then if that didn't come through, I'm starting back at square one? I've got the financial means to last a while without employment, but at the same time, turning down lucrative job opps being picky for an ideal org is not something I can see myself doing, although it would probably be the right thing.

The shitty part is I really just want a break from it all. I want time to reset my brain and not think about anything career/work related for a while. Take some time to figure out what's next while I detox both chemically and emotionally. Timing just isn't on my side in that way.
:word:
After working for very large and small companies, small is definitely where it's at for someone like you (and me). You really MATTER in a small company. I'm a one-person department interfacing with Operations/Production, Shipping, Receiving, Sales, Purchasing, and Accounting, and I report directly to the president of the company, a whip-smart guy who often seeks my input, readily acknowledges that I know more about the business than him (he's only been with us for a few years vs my 29), and sometimes actually takes my advice. :lol:

Yep, agreed 100%. It'll just be tough to turn down a lucrative offer from GM (who has incredible benefits) in favor of holding out for a more ideal organization.

And this is where I'm torn.

I've set life up so far that I could realistically be done working in 15-20 years. How much does it really matter where I land with that timeframe? I know GM would be "good enough" and give me the eventual financial freedom I want.

Having your own is a completely different responsibility. You'll be plenty busy with that.

That life isn't for me, so I'll try to focus on kids that have been mostly forgotten. The world doesn't need more mes, but it could use some help with the unfortunate ones that people have ignored. Thinking about those kids makes me :rage:

Would the GM gig allow you to drop that “retirement” timeframe down to say 10 years? Could be worth it in that lens… you’ve really set yourself up well to be free.

Yes, perhaps. It's a lateral move with lateral pay for now, but the benefits are outstanding for both retirement savings and health. I don't have much interest in being promoted because all that takes is playing politics that I suck at, so I'd be at a similar income for most of those 10 years. Aggressive savings might get me there.

It's all hypothetical because I don't have an offer to weigh yet.

It is not about need, it's about joining the 21st century for relatively no investment.
:iono: when sitting on one all day is a requirement of your job, it's not all that exciting. I have a MBP I sort of inherited from my wife/her employer and never use the thing. I'm just already on my work one so it's easier to use that.

I was at the lights, checking on some douche-bro to respond to me about our pick up arrangement for gym equipment that I drove 45 min to pick up. When I finally got to his neck of the woods I was trying to set my GPS before the lights changed, and behind me sat a po-po in an unmarked black pickup truck. Lights turned, I tucked in my phone, and started to drive. The dude had no qualms about throwing a $600/four point ticket my way. I think it'll really mess with my insurance rates/coverage. I'm trying to figure out what options I have between now and the court date.
Cell phone use is a $600 4 point ticket ?

What about going 80 in a 50?
In my state, jail. License suspension? You're lucky

Sup fellas.

I need help that requires admins. Mostly for passport issues.

I got a little problem with my DFD usability. Also I forgot my password probably 1 year ago. I don't typically have wide range of passports for pretty much anything, and tried anything I could think of, but none worked. So I did what any joe would do and press forgot password, never received an email for the amount of attempts god knows how many times I've tried from time to time within the past 6-8 months.

Now I can only access to Dfd via tapatalk off my phone and on my laptop (automatically remembers my ps.). I recently got an ipad so I don't use my laptop as much anymore. But I somehow can't upload pics off tp anymore for whatever reason. Also being a tapatalk, long ago I changed notification settings to off cause I kept getting endless notifications for things that aren't directed to me. Now I tried to register myself as a new member and still got nothing, including a secondary email where it lets me know im activated.
