hi, thanks, I can pass this on.

if there’s a periodontal reason you need four cleanings per year (I’m assuming it has something to do with your gums) then your dentist should be able to make the argument that it’s preventive maintenance to the insurer and get the other two visits covered. if your dentist can’t or won’t do that it’s probably a sign that they’re not good patient advocates and you should find someone else.

no insurer will cover four cleanings a year unless your dentist fights for it, because private insurance is a Ponzi scheme that doesn’t work and needs to die.

Almost certainly going to offer $50K. I applied to a job there last year with a similar pay grade, something like $58k-$86k. I requested a salary in the middle of the band as it was the minimum I'd need to afford my apartment. The recruiter actually reached to to me and asked me if $58k was OK - the absolute minimum of the pay band and $30k lower than my absolute minimum survivable wage.

I didn't bother responding.

This is like comparing gasoline prices. If you've got a giant truck with a huge tank, your cost will be more than a compact with a small tank. Both of them pay the same $3.30 per gallon at the gas station.

Same thing, but you're comparing homes with different insulation, different heating systems, different windows' exposure to different winds, different thermostat settings & schedules. Which is not much of a comparison at all & doesn't tell you anything useful.

This is not "crowd sourcing a fair rate", the rates are all set in stone for everyone. Neither you nor anyone else is getting fleeced. Hopefully this spurs you & everyone else to take the measures you're willing & able to take in order to use less.

Yeah graduated in December but I did do a very similar role at my university part time and also did an internship

No, not in higher Ed. It's very different than private industry. Usually there is a grid based on years of experience and level of education. The highest end is reserved for someone with a PhD and like 25 years experience.

New grad as in no years of experience? I think it would be a reach unfortunately. You can ask and they may come back at like 55.

I have to buy kerosene. I'm getting a delivery Friday.

$7.59 a gallon with a 100 gal minimum. No fuel assistance for me, I make too much. Good Neighbor Energy has also apparently ran out, I tried with them too.

I seriously might have to move.

if I could still party like that… I would totally hit the DnB night… I just can’t

Edit- do you know if they stream Thursdays?

So you are a Monday morning quarterback that probably never found a family member deceased before. People don’t make logical thoughts when they experience that in the moment.

You're correct it's probably longer than that. Soul Clap used to run the event Mid-Week Techno from Phoenix Landing on Wednesdays prior to Re:Set starting, and it probably goes back even further prior to them starting this event.

Thursday night's ELEMENTS Drum & Bass is one of the longest running weekly DNB events in the world. It is run by a DJ named Lenore.

If I remember it was techno/trance on Wednesdays and drum and bass on thursdays? Is it still specific genres of electronic music?

3600 sq ft 1700s colonial. use next to nothing, we have a pellet stove, and keep heat in bedrooms at 56 overnight. Has a 2 hour warm up period.

Also it's easier to commute into the city rather from suburb to suburb.

Your rate is similar to ours. We used 135 therms to heat 1900 sqft during that same period. We have a new tankless boiler and recently had the whole place spray foam insulated.

That paperless bill credit though 😆

If they want to start moving some design into the US (currently all the design/engineering is in Denmark, right?) it makes sense to open an office in a deep engineering talent pool. But I'm surprised they're closing Enfield, it seems like the lower COL there would be better for less specialized jobs like logistics.

I guess maybe they'll send warehouse logistics down to the factory in VA and move marketing/sales to Boston along with engineering? Our marketing/sales talent pool here is substantial as well, even though it gets less press than the technical staff.

Next month will be my first time doing the out of pocket cleaning.

Will ask him if he can do what you're saying, thank you.

I can second this as mine is similar

$94 for 37 therms, 1200sq foot with Navien gas heat/water.

Townhouse configuration with good insulation, which helps a lot.

I could but to be honest I’ve never negotiated so I’m a little nervous about bringing up anything other than what the hiring manager brings up. I’ll keep course releases in mind, is there anything else I can ask about? Additionally, are new hires strictly paid the exact minimum salary or is there a range?

That seems right given the rate hikes this year. You're also using a good amount of gas. How big is your place?

My Nest thermostat has really saved my ass this winter. 2 bedroom apartment, two floors. Drafty old windows in a 110 year old apartment. I only used 85 therms in December. Thermostat sets to 65° at night, pre-heats the apartment a bit for morning when I'm getting ready for work, then back to 65° until a little bit before I get home from work. It's pretty great. If it's exceptionally cold outside the thermostat turns on the heat earlier to try and keep it in an eco friendly range.highly recommend getting one of these if you're trying to keep your bills under control. Super easy install that I did myself. Let my landlord know, but honestly, you don't have to if they're a dickhead.

So. Many. Minifigs.
