Oh wow! The places they deem fit to try and cut corners. My manager at that hotel spent some time stuck in one our elevators after he"fixed" it himself and then had to have Otis come out.
Thankfully never, not sure how I would have recovered from that one! Did catch it pretending it was on fire a few times. It was alerting the local FD our alarms were triggered when on site, it was quiet an no burning was going on. They called a couple different times about it and even showed up once... in case I was lying? Bet safe than sorry I guess.
Might check into hotel reception too. I worked nights at one, and my main duty was making sure the building didn't catch fire or disappear while waiting to do the audit and start morning coffee before I left.
Right?! All these people who think that there are just well paying jobs, that cover your expenses plus some, are just sitting there while we ignore them and choose to be poor.
I'm in my 40's going back to school again trying to do better. I've changed jobs roughly every 4-6yrs to get better pay and hours. I got stupid lucky to find 2 people to buy a house with right before the market went to shit. I'm making better money than ever in my life but still living the same. Gas, taxes, food kept a steady rise, along with the school loans I never made the promised income for (from the schools recruiters, career aids, etc) thus am still repaying.
Poor people aren't lazy. We're just poor.
Imma bet most of us are the kind of people that would never take advantage of someone else for our personal gain. Most old acquaintances I've met back up with who are doing much better off, I can't say that I would do what they did for it. I've been called things and scoffed at when I've said I have personal morals, and told how it interferes with making real money. Absolutely not saying anyone making good money isn't moral. It does narrow down the scope of opportunities though.
Like these?
Haha! Yes, i learned there are very few cities/towns (my Enon was a Village) that have an original name in the US. If they do they were named after a prominent person that grew the area. Most spawn from somewhere overseas, especially the "New" named ones lol. Then as we migrated we just had no originality for naming. Not gotten far enough down that rabbit hole to know why. I imagine religion, like Enon.
I used to live in an Enon, quickly realized it's "None" backwards. So much nothing, there was a ceremony for a stop light.
You know.... it does!
Except the part where he was quoted saying that it was a victimless crime. Ick
Owning a beater was soo much easier though! And, as I started driving there I'm thankful, 'cause I had a beater. I remember it was a huge deal when we moved to Ohio because we would have to actually have the state inspect our families cars for the first time since purchase.
Oh! Same. You cannot portray the nuances of speech easily through text. I often feel like my intentions may be misconstrued if I don't emphasize or elaborate, lol. I still have an array of colored pens for personal and close friend/family use!
