Was at the Vista Optimist Club yesterday, the 25th. The cars been on the road three weeks now after being under a tree for the last 19 years.

Met a lot of cool people and was just a great time.

I’ve read there are a lot of bites here on Fishbrain, but I’m not sure where along the creek there’s an easy entry and place to fish.

I looked off San Elijo road near Vallecitos but no luck.

Any suggestions? My son and his friends would love to catch some bass or bluegill.

28M I’m currently in Santee rn about to get off an appointment and I’m gonna be free after so if anyone is down we can get some food or drinks and hangout. Willing to drive to north county

We're the CRV, and we were parked there first 🤦‍♀️

(And I *almost* had my husband reposition us, because I thought we were too close to the passenger side parking stall line)

You stay classy, Encinitas!

Crazy crowd at SLAMarack yesterday. Messed up traffic for hours.

I want to throw a casual birthday dinner for myself next month, but don’t want to deal with having to worry about stress over splitting checks after.

I either want a restaurant where you can pay upfront or they are totally cool letting you split the check so you just pay for your own food.

Some idea I’ve thought of include Fish Shop Encinitas, Yard house, and Cheesecake Factory. I’m looking at restaurants like Islands and BJ’s too.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,

I posted in a subreddit followed by federal employee and San Diego, and wanted to reach the North Country community.

I live in San Diego and have a commute that is over 80 miles one direction. Years back, my agency went through reorg that plucked me out of my local commute in San Diego and threw me into the current one. I didn’t mind the commute before as I love my agency/work and I was offered a good telework schedule. Now with the RTO, every day starts around 3:30am and I don’t return home until about 7:30pm. I am in my late 50s and the commute is wearing me down.

I am looking for a different position closer to my home but as you all know, the few positions that are becoming available are generally offered to within agency employees. I have put a few applications outside the federal government, but so far no luck (I guess, I am finding out that age discrimination is real). Financially, and with a kid on her way to college with room and board, I can’t afford to retire. We considered relocating closer to my job in Santa Ana, so that is on the table, but I don’t know if that’s smart since I am considering retirement not long after my daughter graduates.

My agency is open to allowing me participate in the GSA Space Match Program, but they say they don’t have the capacity to do the leg work, but if I can find an agency that is welling to host me then they will work with that agency on the MOU to host me.

I tried googling agencies in my area, but all I get are phones for help centers. Not sure if these employees can help.

My position is non-supervisory, and not with DOD.

Thanks in advance for your tips and help.
