  1. Boeing just emailed me about a job in Everett. They want to interview soon. But I’m going to pass. Thankfully with this move I have a ton of opportunities.

    Your poor wife. I get anxiety just reading this thread, lol. :p:)
     
  3. Real talk: if she woke up one day and was like “I can’t do this” it wouldn’t surprise me. But she’s clearly an extremely patient woman and I’m grateful.

    Boeing is a blessing and a curse. I live that conundrum every day. Good luck in your new spot. What's the gig? Or what's the company, if you don't mind me asking?

    Edit: Boeing stating that they want to interview now means that you would have an offer no earlier than May, at best. The hiring process is s l o w.
     
  5. I’m switching gears all together. Stay at home cat gynecologist.

    Audio gig again?
     
  7. It was suppose to say cat. Now it’s not funny.

    And nah. So funny I only did that car audio gig after I realized that race teams paid like shit and I needed health insurance. Then I was a territory manger for Best Buy for a bit, got severanced out in a lay off and I went back to working in a bay because the pay was pretty outrageous for what I was doing. The tail end of that was when I met you.

    I agree with this completely. NOW HIRING means you might see an offer in 4 months, and start in 6. Slow doesn't really describe it......I would say lethargic.

    I have been at Boeing for far too long.

    Our snow is wet. It turns into oiled plastic when you drive on it. I've had family from Montana talk a lot of shit about driving in snow get a rude awakening.
     
  14. Same shit happens where I’m from and in Atlanta (Canton) where I lived. Granted on Long Island it gets deep snow but normally it gets rain during the day, turns to ice/snow overnight and then a layer of snow the next morning so it’s just a massive ice rink.

    But I have summer tires on my 18 WRX :crackup:, shit.

  15. Well, 28 hours and the trip from absolute hell we made it. Stranded twice. Wife was following in her 11’ Kia Forte with both kids (3 years and 9 months) and one of the dogs. I had one dog in the moving truck with me.

    Once in a white out blizzard at the summit before grants pass in Oregon, pulled the 22ft moving truck with the trailer into a driveway and it was pure ice under and it slid into a boulder. Was stuck until the Oregon’s DOT pulled it out sideways and then they granited the entire way down the 5 south in front of us about 500 feet for 12 miles so we could get to the next exit.

    Then the next morning I fixed the truck after the DEF return line had popped off. Got on the highway and the truck instantly overheats. Wait for roadside, took 8 gallons of coolant presumably from the EGT’s being so high going up hill all day floored doing 25mph max.

    But we’re here and loving it. :clap:
