    I am looking for a job

    in Off the Wall Archives

    Anybody on here a chemist? I will be finishing grad school at the end of the summer. I have been searching for a job for quite a while. I'm starting to resort to alternative means of job searching, such as this one.

     

    If anyone has anything, PM me.

    If you're open to moving to NE, send me a PM.

    Holy $#!+ This Guy Is One Tough Bastard!!

    It still comes back to the same question: Why can't three trained police officers take down an unarmed man w/out killing him?

    I've read through this whole thread and still can't figure out why you're being so difficult. If you were the wife or son or daughter of one of those cops, you'd be glad that he was able to come home that night rather than further risk getting killed or seriously f*cked up by a psycho that demonstrated unusual resilience.

    What to do with my older sister

    I have had enough emotional abuse from her and her chaotic ways and decide to end the visits so we spend the final day doing other things without them(and enjoying it) and drive home the following morning. My daughter gave us some no so subtle hints she is ready to leave to and had enough. I refuse to get into a fight with a crazy person like her because it is fruitless and I want to set an example for my child. I need space and I am through talking with them and they think I am using the children as a bargaining chip for some reason. We will not do that. Did I handle this correctly? Any help or advice is appreciated...thanks :(

    Not worth the effort...just stop visiting her...especially if you know it's just going to make you miserable.

    One thing I can say is listen to the advice I got from the thread I started about buying a car. That advice is to NEVER walk into a car dealership to negotiate the price. What I did was go to Edmunds.com, and pick the model and trim I wanted. Then, at the bottom of the screen, it will show you all the local dealers and you put in your name and phone # and any comments. Do NOT put your real phone. They have the advantage on the phone. I put in the comments "this isn't my real phone #. Contact me by email. I have sent this same message to AutoPlace Nissan, Mike Barney Nissan and West Herr Nissan. I will go with the one of you that will offer me the best price".

    eh? go to Edmunds.com, find out the invoice price (including invoice of options). Dealers never pay invoice anyway. Find out if there any manufacturers incentives and subtract that from the invoice price. Then go into the dealership and offer $1.5-2k below that and ask them to waive any dealer/transport "fees." Get their counter offer and call it into another dealership. Play them against each other until you get the price you want. I do that over the phone with great results. It's so much better than going into the dealership since you can simply hang up anytime if you want. I've never paid more than $1k below invoice (Honda, Toyota and Subaru)...though I guess that only works with non-luxury cars. A BMW/Lexus dealer would probably smile and tell me, "good luck...bye now."

     

    oh...and if they want to put a sticker or some sort of dealer name and address on the back of your car, ask for another $100 off for the free advertising they're getting...otherwise, make them remove it.
