The event company that I USED TO work for still hasn't paid me for an event I worked in October. They have sent me two checks, both of which have bounced, and that has cost me $24 in bank fees. I told them I want to be paid by Zelle or PayPal, but they sent a third check. There is no way I'm going to trust that option. They won't even respond to me anymore. Am I frustrated and angry? YES. Will I ever work for them again? NOOOOOOOOOOOO:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Go to the bank listed on the check and ask them if they can verify it and cash it for you.

Did you use all of your GI bill yet? You can do all your homework on shift!
I was just thinking that if I could still get BAH from the GI Bill that could almost completely eliminate the need for that Uber side gig which would be really nice lol! But yrah, no, that's def something I should seriously think about finding someone who can actually talk me thru the regs on that...

Credential evaluation works wonders - lots of schools give credit for prior learning like fire academies.

have yet to see anything above 160-170 in an adult. 220 must feel awful.

Last time she was seen was last Saturday. Found her on the floor. A/O x3 and when I got her in the back of the rig I thought the leads were on wrong lol. Pressure was 80/50.
