Since I had been complaining a whole lot about shipments taking several days on average in the US, I was extremely stocked to get back to Germany, where logistics are easily a matter of 24 hours and something you order pre-noon has a pretty good chance of arriving the next day even without express shipment options.

So, naturally, the first very first thing I buy since returning cannot be fulfilled by the inner-German Amazon distribution centers and is now being dispatched from Gidy in loving France :cripes:

Don't feel too bad about that. Germany is one of the bigger pains in my rear end to ship anything to, because UPS sucks at addresses. Half the poo poo I ship to Germany comes back with an address error. I would push for DHL to handle our European deliveries, but they can take up to a week to pick up a package here, if they're following their pick up schedules. Our DHL driver is a cute little german chick with enough of an accent to be adorable though.

I've literally sent the same box of dog protein supplements three times. It's gone all the way to Germany and back all three times. Pretty sure we've refunded that purchase by now.

So my interview yesterday was for a two month internship next June and July.

And the first person that interviewed me was a senior partner with the firm who thought he was interviewing me for a job.

So I may get a job instead of an internship.

Honestly I was considering turning down a two month internship because it just wouldn't be cost effective but I'll definitely take a job if they offer one.

The only issue is I would need to take night classes to get CPA certified and get my masters.

If you actually *like* accounting there's like an infinite amount of work in this region. Well probably any region really, but here in particular.

There's a slew of avenues to take within this company that go outside of traditional accounting that I would be interested in pursuing after I make senior in two years, which is one of the reasons this company has been my top choice for several months now. The CPA is just my foot in the door. You get bonuses for each certification you obtain ($10,000 for passing the CPA on the first try and $5000 for second try, every try after that plus any additional certification is up to $2500).

They don't offer many performance bonuses but you get paid for hourly work over 40 hours on top of your salary, so I've heard people say that depending on the client, you can come out way ahead of a performance based traditional bonus structure.

The consulting work and budget management they do for different agencies is probably where I would try to go after I hit senior. There seems to be a lot of flexibility in career path which is really enticing. They also do IT work which I'm not interested in but seems to have the highest ceiling until you start getting to executive roles within the company.

E: AND one thing they offer that I haven't seen elsewhere is the chance to get security clearances, which opens up a bunch of doors outside the company.

A country the size of a US state has better logistics and faster shipping than one the size of the US who knew

Lol next you’re going to tell me their public transportation is great

Anyways my point is those that complain about shipping/mail times in the US need to look outside of Western Europe for comparisons, it’s pretty good here tbh

You can just buy wax or shatter and stick it in a coil burner vape pen. The distillates are still floating around twice the price of hash here.

I bought someone else's pack on eBay, took a Dremel to it to make room for an electronics kit I'd purchased, and then put it together.

I installed a speaker, drilled holes for sound to pass through the back, and drilled a hole for the battery leads so I wouldn't have to open the shell to charge the battery. The battery is externally mounted. Ideally I'll never have to open it up again.

Your entire getup is awesome.

I’d love to go all out for Halloween and come up with some crazy costume one of these years. This year, I’m wearing a navy blazer, khakis and some old body armor I have with KUSH scrawled in Sharpie across some duct tape.
I’m going as Jared Kushner on his big War Adventure.

I go balls-out on Halloween*. Previous years have included WWII fighter pilot, TOS-movie era Star Trek uniform, Vietnam-era fighter pilot, and Dr. McNinja.

Nothing will ever top Halloween 2009, though, when I dressed as a US Army soldier and went to Iraq to do it.

Daredevil s1 and Jessica Jones are both very good. Luke Cage has some great music and is almost as good, but has problems with interesting villains. Defenders is interesting and worth a watch but holy poo poo was Iron Fist bad.
