Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Have a job offer to consider. Depends on so many factors. I really am comfortable working from home most of the time. It's hard to consider an hour commute again every day... They turn into 2 and three hour commutes when things get nasty.

Commuting is the suck. Is the other job substantially higher paying? Working from home sounds like paradise to me.

Are you in or near a big city?

Couple years ago before we moved back to Oklahoma from Oregon I was up for a job in Winters, near Sacramento. Wish it would have happened.

I'm an hour from everything. East bay. Sacramento. San Jose. Probably not going to take the offer unless I get a significant raise in the process. Other than one guy that is a pain in my ass it's been pretty nice working here for the last two years of 13.

On another note I have a tool that is un willing to meet or call me (it seems) back about making a deal on some of my Klipsch speakers. He wants my address to send a US Certified Check or Cashiers Check to me. Then once the check clears send movers to get the speakers. My reply was to call me. I'm just not comfortable about how this deal is shaping up. Would rather have cash in my hand from a live body.

That's a phishing scam. Don't even reply anymore. Or reply with your police department address.
 
What a week, haven't hardly been online at all. Super busy at work, my wife got in a car accident on Tuesday and I had to take most of the day off to deal with that. Car totaled, minor injuries, the other driver was completely at fault because they straight up ran a stale red light into a busy intersection. Apparently she is trying to dispute that with her insurance company, but the police report and 3 other witnesses make that meaningless. Ended up somehow selling a couple odds and ends of leftover drum accessories and old gear I found while cleaning my garage. Other than that, not much music related happenings, unfortunately.

Sucks about the car, but I'm glad everyone's ok.
