America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

Dan,

My daughter is a recruiter for one of the largest, national, locus tenens recruiters (250+ employees) in the U.S. She has been in sales, acquiring job openings and hospitals around the country, and which hospitals chains/groups not to work for.

She is specializing in anesthesiologists and nurse anesthesiologists right now. But, she but knows about the entire industry including RN placement, how to get job openings at some of the very best hospitals, who and who not to contract with and why, how things will really work for you, and what the true, top-end going rates are for someone with your experience, work ethic and willingness to bust your ass, what the local and out of town rates are in specific areas and whether who ever places you will rent you an apartment out of their own pocket (if necessary), and generally help you out, She will not solicit you. in any way. Period.

Better yet, she'll gladly do it as a favor to me, which I am transferring to you directly. I promise there will be 100% confidentiality to the extent she won't even tell me what you discuss. If you PM me I will give you her cell and office number and tell her to expect your call. I am happy to do this for you. She will be too!

Robert

the fairly large day care my kids attend sent an email yesterday to parents stating that they will be shutting down for two days due to the number of teachers out with Covid.

I really hope this "two days" doesn't turn into the "two weeks to flatten the curve" two years ago.

🍹🍹 'THRISTY THUDAY'🍹🍹... enjoy.

Brite sunny day ,40 lite wind, maybe more snow tonight.

Kids education is more important than a damn substitutes.

Dan,

I believe you know real friends will tell you when you're full of it, I believe that 100%. That said, if you don't take up Robert's extremely generous offer and improve your situation, it's will be obvious, you enjoy drama and really do not want to change your situation at all.

Not taking advantage of the offer to improve things is absolutely your choice. None of us can presume to know exactly what is best for you, but I don't think I am alone in saying it's time to shit or get off the pot.

Yes, at one time or another, we all do, but sometimes we forget that Venting Avenue is a two-way street with no parking and speed limits.

Stretched.
Rode the exercise bike for a bit.
Shoveled snow (3rd time in 24 hours).
Dog walked.
Got a car insurance quote- was with my current carrier for 29 years. All the cross discounts, loyalty etc. New company, with better coverages- 15% cheaper. Going to get one, maybe two more companies into the fray.
Chit/chowered/Chaved.
Ate lunch.

Going to watch some golf. It will either hold my interest or help me sleep.

And no good Taco stands either. There are those non-nourishing just for fun tacos, but almost all their parking lots lead back to Venting Street.

Before I can signup for USAA, I'm going to have to stop by and talk to a recruiter.

Something to think about, we have used State Farm here in South Carolina and in Texas, with very good service. I hope this is a state to state variation. We also bought Long Term Care insurance from them as they were very well recomend.

If I would have won it, I would have rang Jonie's doorbell, stick the ticket in his screen door with a note I think this one is a loser, but do double check.
















.... nah.

You are a good man Robert . 👍

Hookers and blow..... Hookers and blow.

haven't seen you around since New Years Eve.
Was gonna shoot a PM tomorrow, now I can save the ink.

Pretty sure that was about Jade's momma..

Well played sir.

Wife's birthday today.
All I have to do is not fck up....

Still snowing here - 3" and counting - TV news says it's over - they need to put in a couple of windows. High should be about 33.

Don’t you mean the gran dog will be wagging along?

Dad Joke Friday in my head.

Birthday wishes to your better half!!!!!!!

Appreciate the offer Robert. But I've already signed up with a recruiter and staffing agency for Northern Indiana that my former coworkers use and recommended. And ultimately I've already made a move till summer and told them I'm out for now.

Macs, I do vent here more than anywhere else.

Gene and 8track, I signed a contract.

Short of it is they offered me a retention package. I stay where I am, do what I do, get paid 20% more for the duration plus $6k bonus at 6 months. Got $3k up front to sign for 6mo. No change in my lifestyle at all. Just more money that will help with things. Paid for my truck repair already with the signing bonus.

town next to my street (I live a few yards in from the town line) has recorded 11 inches of snow so far.
Blue Hills Weather Observatory, straight shot from my back yard across the Blue Hill Reservation and route 93, has over a foot...I live in between.

Fluffy stuff, maybe a couple more hours to go. Supposed to dry up later afternoon. But have to get it all cleaned up by this evening cuz some real cold coming and it will freeze solid.

45 headed to 66 today.

Dog park and then parking my ass in a recliner.

Just finished a 5 miler in shorts and a jacket. Started out 44 but now it's a sunny 56 headed to 71.

Wife's brother just txt from Minn that it's -33 there. I'm guessing -33 and -3 are pretty much the same. UFF DA! If I had to put up with that you could just shoot me.

Cold hater here too. Severe frostbite in the mid eighties. Haven’t had warm feet or hands November through March since. Good that hand shaking is out of vogue. The look of shock in peoples faces when they would encounter my icy mitt.

Happy to hear you were able to get some significant cash bumps. Same chit, different day but for more cash and a summer exit strategy is a much better place than where you were a couple weeks back. Kudos.

+1 The cold, except for killing off mosquitos, sucks.
