List of jobs in la

So this is something I've recently gotten worried about because of what happened on workday. I applied to a dairy and frozen associate position that was posted a day ago near me. Around midnight I get a rejection email saying they moved on and I'm like ok no problem. I go back on workday careers and try to look for another position near me. As I'm looking, I find the same position that I applied to and when I try to apply for it again it says that I already applied for it. When I check my candidate home it says that my application is now inactive but I can still click on it and it leads me back to the post. I feel like this means that I'm on a no hire list and I really need a job right now. A little back story that may be the reason for this is that in 2023 I had been hired as a overnight associate in early June. I worked till September and when school started I realized that I wouldn't be able to manage both school and work. So I sent my two weeks to the personnel manager and I called off on my last few shifts. I didn't hear anything back from the personnel manager or my department manager and my schedule app didn't work anymore so I assumed they processed it. I saw some other post on the U.S subreddit and they say that if you are able to submit an application that means you are still eligible for rehire. Does anyone know how it works in Canada?

One of my coworker (who is a Sr. analyst) left my company and on her way out, mentioned that my manager mentioned I will be picking up some of her responsibilities (being on call during weekends is one of them among others). My workplace has no intention in filling up her position. A HR employee at my workplace once told me that my responsibilities should only be the ones listed under my job title.
I have a meeting next week with my manager to discuss our team and my new responsibilities. Knowing how my manager is, I have a feeling I will be volun-told to pick up the extra duties. Can my manager force me to take on these extra responsibilities if they are not listed under my job title but the Sr. level one? I’m afraid he will squeeze them in under the “other duties as assigned” that’s listed under my job req. One thing for sure, I will be asking to be promoted at the Sr level if that’s my manager’s intention and hoping to be compensated for it.

I was asked if I wanted to renew a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't seeing any jobs listed that were floating my boat and recruiters were slow in sending me things , so I just renewed. Now, all the jobs are coming through like hot cakes. Unlikely I will, but is there any way I can get out of the contract renewal now or is it too late because I've signed on the dotted line?

So i am an international student studying business analytics at the university of adelaide. I learnt that it is not ACS accredited. If i were to do a 6 months course on care workers for old people, get a certificate and land a job in an old age care center. Will i have chances of getting a PR. Care workers are on the SOL list. Would be a good idea if i did this besides my studies?

I, (24F) want to leave my boyfriend (26M) but I don’t know how to go about it. What can I do to get out of this mess?
I met my boyfriend H when we were 18 and 19 respectively. We met in highschool officially but never really interacted until after graduation. A mutual friend of mine dated H before but they had a really bad breakup, and when I started dating H, I lost several friends over that. Things were great for a few years minus the few common early adult relationship problems (who pays for what, etc) and lack of responses while gaming. That sort of thing. We moved in together two years ago in his parent’s home, of which we stayed in a basement room that had a door to the outside and paid rent and helped with groceries and that sort of thing. In January of 2023, his father passed away. Prior to this, he was a waiter at a BBQ place in our town. After his father passed away, he never returned from his bereavement leave and subsequently lost his job due to lack of contact with the boss. Since then, he has had maybe two jobs that lasted about two weeks before he would quit again. I have to get into huge fights with him before he will do anything around the apartment we now rent with our dog. He spends all his time on his Xbox and on Discord or sleeping. He doesn’t complement me, he doesn’t offer to help me with anything, and he refuses to leave the house to do anything with or for me. Yes, he has been in therapy since his father passed, but currently it’s doing nothing and any talk of switching therapists falls on deaf ears. We’re constantly fighting about housework, he’ll cry and talk about suicide, and then he’ll feel so bad about the fight he’ll do ONE chore before repeating the process. I’ve tried making him lists, I’ve tried reminding him several times while I’m at work, I’ve even tried setting timers and reminders on our Alexa. He just blatantly will not do anything. The straw that’s been breaking us lately is he stopped showering on a regular basis. He went over a month without showering and two weeks ago I got so fed up I shut off the internet so he couldn’t play Xbox to FINALLY convince him to shower. I thought driving him to his therapy appointments and things like that would help at the beginning and I do know he has some mental health concerns but good god, it’s not working.
About a month or two ago, a coworker of mine started texting me on WhatsApp, which he found me in a work group chat I’m in (I work fast food, not naming names, but it rhymes with Starby’s) and we hit it off. Previously, I would open with him (I’ll call him T) and we would just crack jokes and goof around (while doing our jobs, of course). In the work group chat I had said “Ughh, my face is breaking out. I don’t want to be at window, they’ll drive away from my ugly ass.” And he sent me a text telling me I’m not ugly, I said how, and he told me I’m not too overweight, I’m not too skinny, I have beautiful eyes, and a beautiful smile. After this, we started conversing back and forth but not crossing the risky or flirty territory. One morning during an opening shift, he told me he liked someone and I pressed because I’m nosy. And he eventually said it was me, but didn’t want to cross a line or do anything because I have a boyfriend. This isn’t why I started the breakup plan, but knowing that someone else saw something in me and I wouldn’t be alone 100% after gave me that push I needed. Though I will admit, he is wayyy out of my league and has a smile that makes me want to cry.
About three weeks ago I was hanging out with some friends and my boyfriend got mad, said he was going to text his ex, and I lost it and broke it off with him. Afterwards, he kept saying he was going to go meet his dad and stopped responding. I got a notification (life 360) that he left the apartment so I went over to grab some stuff and I found a note that said I can have all his stuff. I called non emergency and let them know of the situation because my boyfriend has bipolar (T1) and could injure himself. He wasn’t injured at all, which is what the hospital told me, and he refused any further treatment for psychiatric. I ended up going back because his mother started texting me saying my boyfriend ended up telling her that he was going to run away and not come back, and I was scared and worried. I’m an idiot, I know. He was crying and promised he’d do better and how he was going to fix it, but truthfully, I was just tired after dealing with that for 48 hours and wanted a shower and my bed. Now, I want to leave again but not have him pull all of that because I am so far mentally exhausted. I need advice. Help!
TL;DR My boyfriend doesn’t work or clean or shower and I want to kick him out and leave him but I don’t want him to harm himself.

As the school year winds down, I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of the teachers that inspired me throughout my years as an Edmonton student.
Annuciation Kindergarten: Mrs. Huot. Those Easybake oven cakes were the best.
Grade 5: Mrs. Gruniger: She gave us "brainfood" aka candy when she felt like we needed a boost. Encouraged me to read for fun.
Westlawn Jr. High: Mr. McDonald, Mr. Jeffries, Ms.Quelch: first two were LA teachers who encouraged me to get more into creative writing. Last one was a PE teacher who just always stood out as someone who loved her job and the kids she taught.
St. FX High school: Mr. Wiznura made math make sense. Ms. Grover was another PE teacher who really put her all into what she did. Ms. Reducka (guidance counselor) called my mom when she caught me with a copy of the Satanic Bible (I was curious lol).
I appreciate all of these people who played a part in making me who I am.
Who stands out for you?

I got my associates degree literally fifteen hours ago, but now I'm realizing I have pretty slim pickings in my area. I screwed myself a little because I'm not huge on working live TV, and doubly screwed because my car doesn't work right now, but I genuinely can't find a thing around my city. I would do writing, I would do post - production, I would love to do just about anything with this degree. I don't know where to look for jobs, I don't know how legit some of these listings are, definitely not sure what I'm "worth" right now. I have no idea if remote jobs are "worth it", and even if they are, I don't have enough money to pay for any "good" editing program. My school had us using Avid for video editing, but everyone I talk to says Adobe Premiere is the standard, and I didn't learn that. I learned how to use Audition, I can use Photoshop, I'm a photographer, a writer, I'm certified to use the equipment in and out of a control room. I'm doing a lot of post grad panicking, honestly. My city genuinely has me feeling a bit hopeless on the job hunt. I do currently have a job, just not in my field, so at least I'm not completely doomed. I'm just genuinely concerned that I've somehow cornered myself. I've done my ranting - any advice?

I found a job that I think I could see myself doing (assisting in a school library) and I meet the qualifications listed, so yayyyyyy... except I'm low on optimism about getting a decent job tbh. Anyways I went ahead and applied, but noticed that the job has been up on LinkedIn for about a month. Oof, I can imagine they've already started reviewing applicants and won't want to look at a new application anymore. Honestly this is part of a bigger problem of how do I stay optimistic without getting my hopes up? I'm currently working a seasonal job that will end come October and don't have a plan besides this school job

Hello everyone, I’ll try to make it as brief and blunt as possible.
I’m 27 male living in Indonesia (born and raised) and have been thinking of moving out of this country for quite a while now. I have a degree in Computer Science (graduated in 2020) and have been working as an iOS Developer for 4 years now. Other than college, I also joined Apple Developer Academy in 2022. I have saved some money to move out (though I don’t think it’s that much because of the very low wage standards here, I think I have around 7500 USD).
Based on a bit of research (in this Subreddit and the immigration website of the mentioned countries), here’s what I found (please don’t hesitate to correct me if the points I made are not correct):
New Zealand

• Based on the Green List roles, Software Engineer (ANZSCO 261313) is one of the listed occupations to apply this visa. Unfortunately, my salary is not as high as the green list requirements (have to be 65.74 NZD or above).

Germany

• I haven’t done that much research for applying visa to Germany (I will do more research later), but I’ve read some posts mentioning that studying in Germany is free. But to obtain a student visa, you have to make sure that you can afford the daily life cost in Germany.
• Not sure whether this could help but I have a long-distance cousin in Germany (she’s a citizen)

Australia

• I know that there’s a possibility of applying WHV but I don’t think I’m gonna be able to work as an iOS Developer when I get one
• I’ve checked the 189 and 190 subclass visas but the skills that I have are not included in their skill requirements (Software Engineer).

Based on my research above, here are my questions:

1. I’m aware that moving out of a country to another is not an easy task and very hard to do that requires a lot of preparation. But based on my condition, which country that I mentioned makes the most sense to move into? And which steps that I need to do?
2. For NZ, let’s say that my current salary met the minimum requirement to be green-listed. Based on the immigration website they mentioned, “To be eligible you must be working for an accredited employer or have a job offer from one”. Does it have to be from an NZ employer, or just any employer in general? (Right now I’m working in a Taiwanese company remotely)
3. For AU, it’s possible to extend WHV up to 3 years. After that, is it possible to get another working visa (that permits my kind of work) because I already lived in Australia for 3 years?

Thank you and any help is appreciated! I'm also open if you have any other countries to suggest (preferably in Europe). Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need more information.

So spouse and I may need to make estimated tax payments at some point if our jobs don't withhold enough to account for a large amount of income received later in the year.
Now spouse makes a $300/paycheck contribution towards their HSA (it's a family HSA as I'm listed on the plan as well). They had 7 paychecks between January and March, so $2100 was contributed by the end of March.
However, the 2024 contribution limit on family HSAs is $8300. ¼ of $8300 is $2075.
My question is: Do I have to account for any sort of penalty when extrapolating our income in Q1 to the full year even though the full year HSA contribution will definitely be within the limits? ($500 employer contribution + 26 paychecks of $300 each is exactly $8300.)

Explant and lift of 400 mL Mentor silicone. Today has been rough, and I have been having sneezing fits lol, which are very painful!! Zyrtec has not helped.
I honestly have a lot of mixed feelings so far. It took me 6 years to choose a surgeon and I traveled out of state. I had an overall good experience, and my nurses and the support staff was all wonderful, however, I wish my surgeon had taken more time to explain things to me as far as how things will look after and what she will do. I felt like everything was so rushed and I was given so much great pre and post op info, but not actual info about my procedure.
I have a list of questions to ask my surgeon on Monday. I haven't seen my breasts yet and am all wrapped up and I can't help but worry. I noticed that her markings were very high nipples on the OR and I asked about this and she said she would make them a little lower as I had stretch marks on the upper part of my breasts and I didn't want the areola to be in the stretch marks...I just feel like that stuff should have been talked about first. Not as I was about to get put to sleep! It just moved way too fast.
I'm grateful it's over, and just hoping that that is just her style and she has such beautiful before and after photos and many happy patients on the support groups so I'm trying to let go and say what's done is done and trust that she used her expertise to do the best job on me as possible and that I will be happy with the outcome.
I'm draining a lot on my first day and the pain and pressure is a lot. I know the first few days are usually the worst and I'm only 32 hours out from surgery. Happy to share any info and wishing health and fast healing to all the ladies going through this with me!!

*CONTAINS SWEARING*
This is gonna be a hefty and most likely triggering post for specific groups of people out there (meaning people who struggle with anger, people who don't want poltical content/opinions etc), so please stop reading and leave if you figure this is gonna be rough for you. This will (mainly) be about the conflict between Palestine and Israel. (and apparently a long one) No hate towards any specific groups of people, but I do have a lot of *frustration regarding behaviours*.
Before I start, I want you to remember some facts about me as you read;
I am autistic
I am heavily influenced by world peace, hate, racism and other unfair situations
I have incredibly high standards for myself that I strive to not break, including, but not limited to, being kind and respectful *always*, despite being in a bad mood, not liking someone, or disagreeing, especially political disagreements
I have always, and will always, stand against widespread hate, racism and other discrimination towards any specific religions, ethnicities, nationalities, cultures, etc.
I also want you to know that I named this throwaway accordingly.
So let's get this shitshow started then, shall we.
As the details of the conflict stands, it is beyond obvious to me that this is racism and, literally, a Holocaust. Not *the* Holocaust, but *a* Holocaust. Oxford Languages has the term defined as a destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war . I'd say that's very much accurate. Proof to come.
Regardless, this situation has had me very pressed the last almost 8 months, as I know most other people have been too. Without getting too much into the conflict itself, I want to talk a little about what I've seen from the Jewish community.
This is where I advise anyone who struggles with anger especially to leave and try to keep your day positive. If you have a magical potion to stay stable after this, who am I to stop you...
Alright, onto the dreaded part. And yes, I am stalling.
I have never, and I truly mean *never* had any hateful thoughts or opinions about religions (other than Christianity but that's one for another time), and as we are all aware of, The Holocaust had massive effect on the world some 80 years ago. I have always seen Jews as victims due to this, but in recent times I've realised that a lot of them, too, see themselves as victims. The issue is that they aren't the victims right now. They (Israel) aren't defending themselves, they have nothing to defend themselves against. Israel is currently doing the exact same thing as Germany did to them, to Palestine. Sure, maybe at some point who knows when, Palestine *was* the land of Jews, but since then, multiple religions have been thriving together on that land, including Jews. They were never excluded. From what I've understood, there weren't any wars or conflicts going on within the country that didn't happen elsewhere. The issue began when in the late 1940's zionists brutally murdered families to steal their homes. I'm sure the situation was so much more complex than that, but in a nutshell that is basically it. The fact that everyone today have been so desensitized from the travesties happening around the world is depressing and hope-killing. I truly am well on the way to giving up, and at this point in time I'm so angry all the time due to the Middle East's situation.
So a few weeks ago, probably closing in on months at this point, I randomly got a notification from reddit about someone posting on /Jewish. They didn't say anything explicit, so I pressed the notification and I was met with the worst victimization and ignorance I've ever seen. I truly believed most jews would see this for what it is, and not let some racist maniac spoon-feed them propaganda and hate, but I was brutally and humbly proven wrong. They were mocking proPAL parades, hating on news anchors and civilians alike calling this a genocide, insisting that Israel has no other choice, saying "casualties happens in war", convincing each other that zionism is a good thing, and feeling sorry for themselves when friends and families cut contact because they said they supported Israel and saw this as the only solution. Some might have been genuine problems, idk, but for the most part, that subreddit seems to only be about hating the rest of the world because their great grandparents were killed. I know I sound like a complete asshole, but the world isn't antisemetic anymore - they are actively looking for it and then using that one person telling them to stop feeling so sorry for themselves as proof that everybody in the world wants to throw them back in gas chambers.
I commented on my personal once where I mentioned that judaism and zionism are two separate things and got downvoted to oblivion. Someone replied saying that my comment was very much exactly what they too feel, but I got downvoted *simply because* I referred to them as separate entities. That is another criticism they've recieved lately; the pure idea of zionism is on the complete opposite side from what Judaism stands for. I've seen so many of the members there calling Jews protesting against Israel "self-hating" and traitors.
I've also made so many replies that I never sent because I know for a fact they would do anything in their power to ban me from ever using reddit again, and I wouldn't be surprised if I got doxxed and harrassed IRL from it. I saved them all, though. I found that it was kind of therapeutic to get it out, but it still bugs me that I never found a way to say it to them. I once also made a post about my rage for their behaviour connected to this genocide, but I thankfully stopped myself before I posted it. I'm so enraged by their sheer ignorance and hypocritical behaviour, all the while Gaza is still being eradicated and slaughtered, war crimes happening day in-day out, inhumane atrocities by the IOF being posted and hailed, and they have the audacity to say that they are the victims? That Israel has no other choice but martyring tens of thousands of CHILDREN? Starving the entire Gaza Strip, segregating West Bank, literally teaching their young in school to hate and attack arabs? That last one might not be true as I don't speak Hebrew or Arabic, so anyone could've just made up the translation, but I still feel it's worth mentioning in case it actually *is* real.
My point is that the guts they have to claim to be so moral, yet still be so unfaced from what's happening in Gaza is beside me. Sure, for those living near the Gaza wall, I'm positive that hearing bombs and screams were traumatizing as fuck, but to then leave for work the next day and claim that "shit happens"? It's insane! It's inhumane. They can leave whenever they like, children can play football (soccer) in the streets and not having to worry about shit, hotels and restaurants with 5-star ratings thriving, plants and flowers still blooming, absolutely no threats on a daily basis. The fact that people are still calling this a war, something necessary, is beyond devastating to me. There are millions still siding with zionism, claiming there's nothing wrong with the belief that you have an innate right to some dirt simply because your holy book says that thousands of years ago, your religion lived there, and simply because of that religious fact you are rightfully owed thousands of young lives, the death of an entire country with its own culture, just to feed the irrational religious political system? How in God's name has that ever, *IS* that still okay? If Muslims were the ones saying that shit, they would've been completely destroyed by now, today's generation wouldn't know what the fuck Islam was. They are still being slaughtered though, because they're saying it's *not* okay. How is that not racist again?
My brother and I got into a heated argument a few days ago about this. I am very much *for* Palestine to have human rights and to own their own land - he is very much *against* "ugly blackies" having any rights because they're *not* human. Boi when I tell you I got so angry I started crying. And the worst part about that fight? He claims that Jews aren't any better, however they still deserve to defend themselves against children running on the beach. "But Hamas-" is so over-used and outdated by now, it just proves that he doesn't follow up on statistics and evidence. Even if there only were one-sided news (from Gaza), the fact that the ICJ ruled Israel's actions a genocide and war crimes still proves everything he claims to be "n*****'s propaganda". And the fact that he so underminds my autism and *need* for factual evidence before discussing it also goes to show that he genuinely does not care about anything other than the black "terrorists" being eradicated. I said "So you're not just a racist, you're just plain racist?" he just scoffed and looked at me as if I just said the most nonsensical bullshit gibberish ever, practically saying "I'm not gonna say anything, but it really took you that long to realise?" Either that, or he actually didn't comprehend the words coming out of my mouth, like it was a foreign language or something. Because he genuinely does not have a single reason to be racist.
He can't even blame suicide attacks because 1) not all are carried by muslims, and 2) between 1981-2015 around 45,000 were killed by suicide attacks worldwide, where in 2019 the total death toll was only 1,699 more than amount of attacks; whereas in Gaza, between Oct 7 to present there are about 34,000 confirmed palestinian deaths, and assumed around 42,000 with unconfirmed deaths. If, in 36 years, "muslim terrorism" killed about the same amount as Israel has in almost 8 months, how on earth are Arabs the terrorists?
And I've also seen the argument that 30,000 is nothing compared to the total population in Gaza, as if that makes it okay. I will, again, make example of The Holocaust. When 30,000 Jews were martyred, people were already catching on, and this was without the technology we have today.
How have we been allowing this to happen to Palestinians *with* our technology today? Why haven't people been doing more; striking our jobs, cummute chauffeurs striking, proper permanent boycotts, more coverage from news anchors and private people alike? Even if it is to officially reclaim your love for white supremacy, you're still talking about it. Why are people still not reading up on this? Why does millions still not know that this *didn't* begin on October 7th? And why are there still those who claim that the past doesn't matter today? I have so many questions, and if I do get an answer I will only end up with more questions. How hasn't the world stopped over this? Why are people so okay knowing that there are children being intentionally murdered every single day? How can you go to work and talk about Dave's new tie? Or your 6 year old's birthday party with 15 other 6 year olds? Hasn't it crossed your mind that if the roles were reversed, your precious princess would be the one burried under tons of rubble, dying slowly while simontaniously starving, dehydrating, suffocating and crushing, and *knowing* that absolutely no one cares because you're [skin color] and it's normal for your kids to be horrendously massacred? "Oh but the Taliban-ISIS-Al Qaeda" OKAY so what are you gonna do to help save innocent lives and suffering??? How are you gonna contribute to STOP these organizations that have manipulated and murdered to rule their country and are intentionally making the citicens miserable? Are you even aware that your own govurnment is essentially the same fucking thing, just disguised as a well dressed, polite gentleman? Aren't you sick of all those ads on TV showing brown children with flies in their eyes? Or your mama telling you to think about the starving children in Africa? Because I am.
I am so sick and tired of how inhumane humans have come to be. You don't see animals (and I'm trying my best to not mention how humans *are* animals, guess I failed) intentionally kill another animal simply because they're that animal. They kill prey; polar bears kill seals, seals kill penguins, penguins kill fish, fish kill amoebas, and you can get to that result from absolutely everything. What you don't find as a natural event is a golden, brown mane lion attack and kill an albino lion simply because it's albino. You don't see a school of fish swim away from one with two heads, because "*omg Jared is such a freak with his two heads*." So why the FUCK DID WE START DOING THAT? Where did this hunger for power come from? You *will* see a female lion tell the king that enough is enough, and he *will* accept that. I could go on and on for DAYS if I got the chance, but I don't wanna get too off topic here.
I've started a list of all the universally illegal shit Israel has done, and once I'm satisfied with it, I'll make one comparing Israel to Palestine, and then Arabs/Muslims as a whole. I can guarantee that I will still hear "on-sided sources" still, or "You can't trust Wikipedia!" Have you ever tried to edit or create an article on Wikipedia? I have, and I had to confirm that I had a degree or a current valid work ID to prove that I was elgible to speak on the topic. I tried to make a site for myself... Sure, there are more trustworthy sites, but even in a discussion about wether or not being trans is a mental illness, where I quoted and linked all of the most well known official sources like WHO, I was still slapped with "but this shady ass article from a random Deutch website that explicitly says everything I've said, yet still isn't actually saying the same thing because I misquoted and mixed the words to form my own sentence says that it is" when they literally linked a website called "disabled world". I will say though, I agree with that name. Today's world is so non-funtional for neurotypical, hetero, white MEN, it's no fucking wonder everyone else are classified as disabled or whatever. Also, on that disabled topic, if you've made it this far, please don't say "differently abled". A quote unquote quote (heh geddit? cuz it's rephrased and I don't have the book near me rn to directly quote) from Devon Price's "Unmasking Autism" that I really like: "You wouldn't say "a person with Asianness", you'd say "an Asian person"." We are disabled because today's world isn't made for us, and for the most part isn't even accomodated or accessible to us. We are different, yeah, but literally everyone is. We just got that term because we can't do the same things as you (assuming you're neurotypical) without aid. We are able, just not like you. Of course, if an autistic person tells you they prefer "person with autism", listen to them! But most of us embrace it as a part of us because we can't just get rid of it. Autism is what make me me, I wouldn't be me without my autism, so I *am* autistic, for better or for worse. :)
I find it kinda ironic that I started this as a venting about a lot of Jews' hypocritical behaviour, and now ending up on autism. Yaknow, cuz Dr. Asperger during WW2 experimented and tortured autistic people, and found out that some where more alike him than others, which then coined the term Aspergers for the Autistic Community.
Anywho, I feel better now, so thanks for letting me vent a little (a lot). I want to finish off by restating my intro; I have not, and will not tolerate any hate, racism or discrimination towards any religion, ethnicity, nationality, culture etc. This post is not intended as a rant about how aweful jews are, because they're not. I just wanted to air some frustration over their behaviour regarding I/P genocide. This is also not about *all* Jews, but that's the same discussion as "not all men" so I'll leave it at that.
I will delete this account in a week, so if you have any questions, be fast ig. If you find I've mis-phrased, used irrationally insensitive wording or any other complaints that calls for a repost, I will fix it and post an updated version. My DMs will also be available if that should be of interest, but I will not be responding to hate or personal attacks for my opinions. If the issue is my wording, again, tell me and I'll fix it.
At this point I've written so much that I don't remember if I found anything myself that I figured was worth fixing, and I've proof read it so many times that my eyes are crossing and giving me a headache lol
Gosh I'm scared of posting this. I don't want anyone to read this and think I support what A. H. did in 1940 cuz I cannot begin to describe my hatred for that man

So I had this project car, and no matter what I did (including consulting several mechanics), the engine wouldn’t run right. I found a mechanic who offered to do an engine swap for an affordable flat rate; a few thousand dollars. He is several states away. I talked to a former customer of his and he seemed very legit, so I paid him and shipped the car down to him.
I also did the very dumb thing of not asking for a written contract. I just have my credit card statement from paying him.
The original time quote was a couple of months. Initially, he said there were delays because the parts were hard to find. I checked in every couple months and it was always something else. I was pretty lenient because it was a deal, and I had another car to get around so I didn’t miss the project car.
You may be wondering; why didn’t I put more pressure on earlier, especially in the last year? Well, I had some pretty massive things to deal with in my personal life so this car was at the very bottom of my priority list.
Anyway, it’s coming up on two years and I just want to get this resolved. How can I get this guy to either finish the job, or refund me the money? Last time I talked to him, no work had even been done yet. This was a month ago.
I just want to get some kind of resolution. I don’t even care about the car at this point. What is the best course of action here?
Would appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance.

Sorry if this question is too redundant or vague.
I'm looking forward to enlisting soon to give my life some direction, opportunity, and excitement. I have some vague artistic aspirations that I'm continually trying to fashion into some kind of career but I'm not really sure what AFSC to choose! I also have other career aspirations to become a psychotherapist but nothing really lines up with that besides Mental Health Service which might as well be Admin.
I was set on EOD for awhile before I realized that I didn't really want the job badly enough to go through such a rigorous pipeline and risk washing out into a shit job, especially when I'm not very mechanically-inclined. I like learning about explosives and it sounds super cool but I dont think its for me, at least not the current me. Since I'll be going into all this as a freshly-minted adult I figure it'd be better if I wasn't worried about failing the EOD pipeline while I'm adjusting to this new chapter, and if it really calls to me then I can retrain later without worrying about failing and getting thrown into MX.
I went in actually being torn between airborne linguist and EOD before I since changed my mind. I enjoy learning languages and have some experience in a few, and doing it as aircrew instead of a windowless cubicle could give me the variety, cameraderie, excitement, mental challenge, and travel opportunities I've been looking for. I've also wanted to learn a language to fluency for awhile, and if I'm really lucky, I could even get Korean, which would be awesome cause I'm Korean-American and have always wanted to seriously learn. But unlike EOD, I have to list another 8 or 9 jobs alongside airborne linguist that I wouldn't mind getting instead of getting a guarunteed job contract.
I already took the AFWIN survey and the only jobs that seemed interesting were Intel and Flight Ops / Command&Control. Stuff like C&C Battle Ops and Command Post sound good so I'll put those down. I might but Public Affairs down too.
So, any advice on picking those remaining jobs, based on what I'm looking for? Is EOD secretly the right choice that I will excel in and lead me to greatness? Should I go for 9J000 instead? What's your job like?
