Maybe this is just living in Texas but isn't that normal? I think most people only get raises through promotions; Lord knows that's the only way I've ever got them. Maybe I just need a better job?

I work in a technical field and it's common practice to give employees some percentage of a wage increase every year (if they don't suck) to keep them on board for the long term.

That's how it works at my company as well. I know I could leave and get a huge raise, but I hate looking for a job and love the absurd security I have currently, so getting a cost of living raise every year helps keep me satiated.

Yeah, I'm a decade in at this point and my immediate team around me is really good, which is usually the biggest battle. There has also just been a massive purge of upper management, a lot of whom were clueless jerks who did more harm than good, so even though I'm not getting a raise, the work environment will at least be getting better.

Look at this rookie mistake. You're supposed to pile up unused DIY materials because there will totally be a time in the future when it will be needed.

Snowblowers are for quitters. I love shovelling and will often shovel my neighbor's driveway just for the fun of it, then mine, then go clear my mom's. May even gently caress around and help shovel some people out along the way.

Honestly, I find it kind of relaxing when it's under like 3" of accumulation, especially when its dark out and everything is super still and quiet.

I have a terminal case of Midwest Brain.

My front sidewalk got buried under 3' of hard packed road snow twice today, and I'm also running out of space to put snow along my driveway. There are literally 6-7' mounds running the entire length on both sides.



And I still haven't submitted to the will of Big Snowblower.

Did you do a mortar bed for the shower, or is it a Schluter type system?

The glass shower door/wall looks pretty rad. The only complaint I would have is not having a separate handheld shower head, but definitely understand keeping things streamlined.

You gotta have a proper arsenal of shovels. One scraper for light stuff, one with closed sides for deeper stuff, and a big rear end metal grain shovel for mega deep and plowed in driveway duty.

Same please.

I was reflecting on this the other day how people have grown up. One of the buddies I went to uni with makes 3x what I make, in the $200ks.

I find it fascinating because everyone kind of has to spend the first chunk of their income on stuff like food, housing, etc. but after a certain threshold it basically becomes all fun money.

I can’t even imagine the life I could have lived if I basically had $100k (pre-tax) of fun money every year.

Like what do you computer touchers and doctors spend your money on?

I think everyone should work retail or wait for a year so they hopefully get some loving empathy drilled into their heads.

I fortunately got the proper perspective working at a large soccer complex and dealing with thousands of rear end in a top hat soccer parents routinely.

There was also a lot of floor poopin' in the bathrooms for some reason.
