TopicAnybody here been a bank teller before?

I was a teller for a credit union in high school/college. In '97 I was making $8.75 by the time I left five years later I was making $14. Since CUs are not for profit there was no pressure to cross sell items. When I started we had to wear suit and tie. Towards the end it was khakis and polo shirts.

It was an easy job with much room for advancement depending on number of branches in the area. It was normal for people to move from teller-member services-loan officers in a span of five years. My credit union also paid 80% of my tuition in college as long as I maintained a 3.0 or better average.

I've been thinking about getting Super Bomberman because my wife likes playing multiplayer games with our kids and we only have MK8 for the switch. Seeing as it is no great loss I'll wait for a different game.

But during those 45 minutes, you're cleaning the floors, cleaning the bathroom, folding a separate load of sheets or kids clothes (yes, it's common to have multiple loads of laundry to do in a day). It's not like you just sit on your hands while the laundry machines are going. There's plenty of other cleaning to do, housework, handyman stuff, bills... it really almost never ends.


It does seem like it never ends. In the summer my kids will do their own clothes and cook some. I view my goal during the school year is to do every thing that needs to be done so when my kids and wife are home we have free time to do whatever we'd like to do whenever we'd like. When working, it felt like almost all free time my wife and I had were household related or some errands we had to do.

It ebbs and flows. Kind of like Jen and Joex said. I have a friend who owns a handy man company so I will help him out now and then. I also have retired parents that I help them with when they need things (grocery shop, home repairs, etc,). I also was a teacher so I will volunteer from time to time at my kids school in which ever class room that might need help.

You mean holiday spice pepsi? That stuff was awesome! The closest I got to recreating the flavor was mixing in some vanilla extract, a bit of ginger, and a cinnamon stick (Waring: FIZZY AS HELL! BREW OVER SINK!). It tasted pretty good.

I need to try this. I don't normally drink soda but I loved holiday spice Pepsi.

Okay, it's only a two minute video, but the gist of it is basically just use Spotify. You can listen to your favorite songs there, but you can actually select them directly instead of waiting for them to come through the rotation again. They also have a "radio" functionality like Pandora if that's still what you want

This. I'm not 100% sure of everything a Pandora subscription offers over the free version but if it's just what's listed in the OP then Spotify is far more worth it imo. I've found numerous great songs that I've never heard before simply due to the Daily Mixes, Discover Weekly, and Release Radar, not to mention the radio feature.

Yeah that is all pandora pretty much offers. I switched to spotify last year when they introduced spotify family. For $5 more my wife and kids could have their own spotify (for lack of a better term). Plus being able to play any song when I like is nice.

A few years back my city changed the ordinance for 9 in. to 7 in. I don't know why it really changed, I know of no one who got complaints before the change, let alone now. Plus the city doesn't do a great job mowing public spaces (medians and parks), I've seen public grass as tall as 3 feet.

Why do folks think that game companies deserve special treatment?

If you were a race car driver and you won a race using Hoosier tires do you think that you should have to give them a cut of your winnings?

As far as letting folks see the story of a story based game, do you think that there shouldn't be public libraries where people can read just about any books for free? How about after I beat a game, do you think I shouldn't be able to tell a friend the entire story in detail if they asked me to because they don't want to play it?

Lets say you throw a party and you decide to put some music on that you bought, would you go around to everyone in earshot and ask them to kick in a buck for each song so you can send that money to whoever you bought your music from?

When I buy a game my obligation to a game company is complete. They created a product and I purchased it. That copy is now mine to practically do as I please with. No reason to insert your opinion about how I just bought a license to use said game, I'm not talking about reverse engineering it here. I now own a copy of game and now I feel like streaming, game company should have no say about that in any form what so ever.

I would imagine that car racing is the same as any sport when it comes to agreements between participants and companies that makes equipment. Sometimes, money is involved in the agreement.

Legally there is an agreement between libraries and publishing companies. Most libraries are nonprofit, publishers are able to use the agreement as a tax right-off as a donation. (There have been legal battles between publishers and authors over this).

The music at a party is the same as playing a movie or video game around friends. In copyright laws this is a grey area, but hard to enforce so companies don't bother with it. However, there have been instances of sharing movies,music, video game play online that has gone to court. It is much easier for these companies to argue that it cuts into the profits they could make off their respective properties when they are mass shared.

Can someone who knows more about baseball than me explain why this happens?
Opening week Twins schedule:
Home opener: Monday - 3pm
Wednesday - noon
Thusday - noon


If at least one of those games was at 5pm or later, they would probably get double the attendance and TV viewers. Would baseball players get extreme fatigue if they played a 7pm game and then a noon game the next day? I just don't get it.



If it's like old County Stadium in Milwaukee and why the Cubs do it, but having more day games in early April is so players don't play as much in cooler/cold weather. Having the games in the day time, it's usually warmer than the evening and night.
