I think everyone is still trying to get their heads wrapped around it but it’s not the pause in drilling permits that worries me it’s the shut down of ROW. We’re getting drilling permits 12-18 months in advance so no worries for the next 2 months but a lot of our ROWs are more just in time, both well flow lines and 3rd party takeaway. That’s where I can see a train wreck in the next 6 months, well is drilled and completed but no pipe to take it anywhere.

And so it begins https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/535224-bidens-interior-dept-temporary-blocks-drilling-on-public-lands%3famp

Costco for Adirondack if you are a member. They may be cheap enough that the savings pay for the first year membership.

How close is the taunting crackhead? I’d get a big can of stream OC and paint his face next time he got too close.

Things to have before adopting: bed, bowls, food, treats, leash, poop bags, a vet picked out, toys. Also decide if it will be crated or not, if so a crate. You’ll probably want to look at your house with dog proofing in mind especially if you get a bigger breed or puppy. There are lots of everyday items that can make a dog sick or kill them (chocolate and grapes as an example) it’s good to find a list and make sure you don’t have anything poisonous out. There are sites with quizzes to help narrow down a breed if you have no idea what you want they’d give you a starting place. It’ll take some time for everyone to adjust, 6 months ago we adopted a 2 y/o GSD that had bounced around houses and probably been abused a little. The first few weeks he was super touchy about his space and would snap, we think someone choked him because he wouldn’t let you mess with his collar. He has slowly settled in and a lot of his fear is going away. All of that to say if you really want a dog don’t give up if the first few weeks/months are bumpy.

Pretty close, can’t remember if it was 08 or 09 but that general time frame. Was with a gas company at that time

I’ve been in 15 years I think I have been through 7 rounds of layoffs, 1 company sale, 1 office closure and 1 merger. This is across 3 companies.

Yup. Ride it until it dies and hope it’s taken me far enough to get by with a job slinging beer at a local brewery for a little extra money as my next play.

I’ve been in the same time and I’ve gotten close to this but the money is too good and the job too easy (office) for me to give up yet. But with all of the rolling layoffs I’ve came to peace if they draw my number and plan to transition out.

As long as you are comfortable with the developer, this is the way to do it. This group is buying existing B/C class properties in select markets that are not in alignment with the surrounding properties. I am not sure I would invest in a new development; with existing buildings you at least have a built in revenue stream as long as you don’t run them all off.

I’ve invested with a company like this in apartments but it was not solicited, invitation only. You had to be an accredited investor, the minimum investment is high, and you kiss the money goodbye for 5 years. We haven’t sold any of the properties I’ve invested in but the “dividends” have been paid as presented in the financials. I may lose it all or it may double in 5 years only time will tell.

What’s the opinion of franchising into fast food with no food service experience? I’ve always considered it to be a bad idea to buy into a CFA or something similar if you had never worked in the industry. I could see opening fast food in a underserved town but have never worked in the food industry.

That’s the truth. I figure if I get caught up in a lay-off anytime soon I’ll have to roll into a new profession I just don’t see many jobs out there anytime soon. Would try to pick something up with existing degree but most likely would end up going back for a masters in mechanical or electrical and moving on.

Was told it was all done yesterday.

I survived our last round they got 20-25% of my peers in the company. Have a contact at CHK, they were told to work from home on Friday and that they would be doing phone layoffs, 15% target.

The first trillion is always the hardest.

I’m assuming if I get let go this go around that I’m gone for good. I’ll make some calls and see what I can hustle up and keep an ear open but will actively be looking at new industries.

It is a steady part of my workout rotation, along with other 90s rap

It’s on Amazon Music Unlimited if anyone subscribes. I added it this morning after seeing this post.

That's what I'm doing. I told my wife we're saving all we can now because we don't know how long it will last and I don't know where else I could go and get the same benefits or better. Absolutely this. We are saving and investing to get some secondary income for when this ends I only need to replace 50% of my income not 100%.

I like his determination and persistence, you don’t see that kind of work ethic in kids these days.

I knew one of the girls killed in the “Cathouse Murders”, she was a bit nerdy and awkward as a young girl. Don’t remember the last time I saw her though.

This guy oilfields.

My LinkedIn has been a bloodbath, lots of tenured people saying they have been let go. My wife is considering voluntarily leaving the industry to diversify our income streams. Hasn’t decided but seems to be leaning that way. Would be nice if it wasn’t the worst job market since the ‘30s.
