I have a lead with a job at N3B and am wondering about the organization. Looks like they have a contract until early 2028 to clean up legacy waste at LA site. What happens after the contract is up? Will it be extended or does everyone lose their jobs at this time?
My partner and I moved here a few months ago for work and we have really fallen in love with the unique culture, food, and nature. Our hope is to live here long term and really become part of the community. But one thing we were not prepared for is how hard it is to get anything scheduled.
My partner has called almost a dozen primary care offices to schedule an annual check up and they all say they aren't accepting new patients.
She has called 5 different salons to try to schedule a hair cut and no one will pick up the phone. When she visits in person, they tell her they are booked up until late October or November.
I have lived in towns as small as 10k residents and never had these kind of issues before, so I guess I'm wondering why this is so specific to Santa Fe.
My partner and I both started applying at the lab earlier this year. She got a job there after a few months of applying and has already started.
I have submitted 15-20 applications since March and have only gotten a single call for an interview. Most apps remain in Review in Progress status and are never updated, even months later, so I have no clue as of the status. My partner has reached out to hiring managers, department admins, and recruiters on my behalf. I have reached out to recruiters myself and have made contact with a couple of hiring managers.
I thought maybe my cover letter isn't in depth enough, but a recruiter told my partner that my 2 page cover letter is too long and departments don't want to read all of that. But that's directly in conflict with what it says to include on the job description, so I have no idea what to even think. For the cover letter, I copy and paste each job requirement and explain how I meet each one using specific examples from my job experience.
I teach a French 1 and 2 class at a local community college continuing education department and unfortunately my current textbook is out of print. Can you guys recommend some textbooks suitable for adults that aren’t too expensive (less than $50)?
Based on what I am reading, it seems the lab provides $5000 to cover miscellaneous costs once an apartment lease or home has been purchased. Is this true? How soon after signing the relocation agreement do you get this stipend?
How long does it take to get reimbursed for itemized things once everything has been submitted?
I got a job out of state and they want me to start in the next few weeks which means relocating there. My apartment lease in Texas expires 11/30/2026 and requires a 60 day notice. There is an early termination fee equal to one month's rent in my TAA lease.
If I put in a 60 day notice tomorrow, August 21, I would still be responsible for rent until October 21, plus pay the ETF which is essentially the same as November's rent. So I'm not really saving any money at that point.
Ideally what I would like to do is just pay the rent through November, move out in a few weeks, and hand over the keys. The landlord has the rent and then I won't be stuck paying utilities on an apartment that's vacant. But if they leased the apartment to someone else in the meantime, would they have to refund me the rent I paid?
Or is there a better way of handling this that I'm not thinking of?
Do I just need to use the app, tap add a line select a plan, pay, then port the number for my second line first?
Then repeat this process for the primary line?
I went to Utqiagvik (Barrow) back in June and it's one of the best trips in the US I have ever had. The people in Utqiagvik are SO nice and welcoming. It was crazy seeing this barren land without any trees and how people can survive in such a harsh climate. What surprised me the most was how many immigrants from Thailand and Laos are living here. Imagine moving all the way to the US and picking this rural community. There really isn't much to do or see, but I just enjoyed walking around and talking to people.
Do you have any funny stories when out of state and people not knowing New Mexico is a US state? I’ve heard of bars and liquor stores seeing a NM ID and saying they only accept US issued IDs. Any funny stories like this?
I’m in New Mexico visiting and wanted a bottle for margs so I was going to grab my usual, Arette blanco from Total Wine. But was shocked to see the price of $40.99 for a 1L bottle. I checked the TW website and my store in the Dallas are sells it for $27.99.
I thought maybe NM has crazy high liquor taxes but they are just a few dollars per liter more than Texas. I also saw Lalo blanco for $35.49 which sells for $42 at my Texas TW store.
I checked other brands and some are cheaper in NM and others are cheaper in TX. Does anyone know why there would be such crazy price differences?
The section describes it as "bound by affection, influence, common interests, and/or obligation?" but I'm not sure that either of these people meet these criteria. I figure it's safer to just report it, but at the same time I don't want to increase scrutiny if it's not needed.
French foreign exchange student I had in high school - I talk to him via text message once every few months. How are you, how's the family type of thing. I see him once a year in person.
Spanish guy I met at a bar 8 years ago - Talk via text message 1-2 times a month. See him in person once a year.
Has this rum been discontinued? I cannot find it anywhere in the Dallas area. No Total Wine store has it in stock. Astor is my go-to store in NYC and they are also sold out.
Is charging for parking a new thing? I always expect to pay in a busy city but not in a Hyatt Place in a suburban strip center.
I changed the oil in my inherited 67 Beetle and used the kit below to change the gaskets. I wiped everything dry of oil and installed the gaskets, then tightened everything down hand tight. Now there's an oil leak when the car is sitting in the garage.
Should I be using different gaskets? Do I need to tighten the little nuts that hold on the strainer cover?
My grandpa has owned this car since 1973 and he recently gifted it to me. It’s pretty much in original condition, paint and all. My uncle rebuilt the engine in the late 80s and since then, the car has only had around 20k put on it. In 2019, my grandpa took it to an air cooled VW repair shop for this work and has had only about 1000mi put on since then.
Right now there are only two issues:
Some sputtering/hiccups when accelerating. What do you think could be the cause of this?
My garage smells of gas. I don’t see any leaks and the inside of the car smells fine, so maybe it’s a tiny leak?
I have a potential job offer in Olympia, WA with the state. I have been to Seattle and that area many times, but only driven through Olympia. What's life like there? Is the weather more or less the same as Seattle? What's the cost of living like compared to Seattle? Does Olympia feel "politically charged" like Seattle or is it more toned down?
Is Olympia close enough to Seattle for a day trip on the weekends or does it feel like a horrible drive?
I am considering applying for a couple of roles with N3B and wondering how they are. Is this just a company that contracts with LANL?
I am waiting on a carrier to be assigned for a vehicle from 27609 to 76039. First availability pickup date was 7/2 and I haven’t heard anything yet. The broker said it’s due to low availability of drivers. Quote was $1000 for this route. Does the price need to be bumped up to get a driver assigned?
In the corporate world, jobs are posted for a week or two, then the close. In that time frame, there can be hundreds of applicants. After that, the recruiter looks at applications and passes on the best ones to the hiring manager. Then the hiring manager select who to call for an interview.
But this doesn't seem to be the case at LANL. One job, I applied for the day it posted on May 2. It's still posted on the website as open for applications and my application is under review status. Others are taken down after a few weeks, but my application remains in Pending Review status for weeks or months.
How quickly after applying should I be hearing back for an interview? When would a job without any follow up be considered a lost cause? Can someone help me make sense of it?
What happened to this shopping center?
Used to have Office Depot, Stein Mart, JoAnn, and a few other places, now it's dead. I loved Pulcinella's Italian that was there for 10+ years.
La Buena Vida (or maybe it was Carolina Ale House) used to be a Thai restaurant, and before that Chevy's Mexican, and before that was a restaurant called Pargo's
Does anyone remember the other places that used to be here?
