Where does Eileen work?

IHOP.

That article is from 2021, but still good information.

Haha, I remember that 500-mile email story. Classic!

I recently placed an order with Dell, but kept getting messages that they couldn't process it. After spending five hours on the phone with multiple customer support people, they finally told me it was because my billing address was different than my shipping address, and that I wasn't allowed to do that.

What's also scary is how irresponsible people are being with this technology.

I had someone tell me they routinely take naps on their drive into work using lane assist and adaptive cruise control! I started laughing but they didn't laugh back...

Yes, but I’m hoping to limit the time away from my family to 30 weeks.

I’m joining the Navy Reserves, which is a bit more flexible than joining the Navy. My wife and I currently work on a Navy base as civilians, so I hope to do most of my drills and duties there, and still be home for dinner every night. We know of a couple people in similar situations that do this already.

Boot camp is 10 weeks long. Tech school, which needs to be done immediately after boot camp, is something like 15 - 20 weeks, depending on your job. With any luck, this 30-week period is the longest that I will be away from my family. It will suck, but everyone has been very supportive.

Once I get back, the goal is to find a full-time duty close to home so that I can start maxing out the GI Bill. I’m told I need 3 years equivalent of active duty to Max it out. After that, I may drop back down to one weekend a month, two weeks a year.

Excellent username.

Turned 41 this year. I was a moderately successful website developer and high school computer science teacher. Next month I’m joining the navy. Should be fun.

Press f for segmentation fault.

Keep us posted.

I still go back and watch sales guy vs. web dude whenever I need a laugh. Great videos!

Tears of the Kingdom. I also bought Mario Odyssey on sale at Target.
