Finally received additional details on relocation benefits. Will highlight here.

  • two home finding trips (total of 8 days/7 nights) covering: airfare, car rental, mileage, lodging, $30/day meals (/person), $50/day childcare. If you have a spouse/partner they receive the same benefits
  • If you buy a new home, they will provide 3% of the purchase price towards those purchasing expenses
  • Temporary Housing: temp housing provided for up to 60 days. Airfare and/or Rental Car provided (preference for you to drive or ship your car to the new location). Will reimburse mileage or pay to ship car. $30/day in food. Covers transportation costs for 3-trips back home during that 60 days, or can use any of those 3 trips to fly a family member out to see you in MN
  • Partner you with company (SIRVA) for selling your house. Will use 2 outside sources to determine home value. Average of those 2 will be home price and can list house up to 105% of that amount
  • If seller received/accepts an offer from a qualified buyer, SIRVA will immediately pay you a 95% advance on that offer price and take over ownership of the house. 100% of all sales, negotiations, closings, etc. will be handled by SIRVA from then on out

Thanks, Bro.  She took that selfie and sent it to me saying that she was gonna suck my deek when I got home.  Now I know what is gonna happen when she sends that pic and doesn’t say anything.

I am so glad that I punched her ukn’ teeth out on our honeymoon.

Yeah, after going through selling hell for 5 months it would be nice to have that last 5 days.

Yup.  What is Agent23 trying to say about the difference between white people and black people?  :whistle:

Stay away from the burning neighborhoods.

I mean me relocation benefits (if I accept) are good through July of 2021, so I got over a year for them to clean up their act if needed!

A year?  You should be all good.  Minny really is a clean, nice city when it’s not in turmoil.  My only time there was during the Super Bowl and I was quite impressed.

Not going there this weekend...

Avoid the red

So I stayed in a suburb calle Edina. All the houses were really nice around there so I lucked out. On the downside it was cold as hell, all the decent food places closed early and I ended up at Denny's and everyone remembers my complaints. Going from one of the bigger cities in Australia where I can head into the city or even the suburbs and find some decent food places open until 4am it was rough. 

I didn't check out much other than the mall because it was freezing. They dId have the walkways and when I met up with @DaEagles4Life we took those to get around the city which made it easier.

There is a large Somali population. Huge measles outbreak a few years ago due to this. 

This as well. A lot of my Lyft drivers were Somali

 Plus I get to mentor more, which I really enjoy.  But the downside is when you have either people who are half a**ing it or people who just don't get it.  You have to sink a lot of energy  into dragging both groups across the finish line.  

The place I was working for had an intern program and they cut down a sheetload of staff leaving me to absorb a lot of the workload. I ended up taking control of the internship program so I could interview and pick who I wanted. There were some duds in the mix and the first 3 weeks were rough because they were there one day a week and it would take about three weeks to learn some basics, after that I found it woud ease my workload significantly. I think at the end I had 2 a day and 3 on Friday. I ended up smashing through the grind but after X amount of weeks they would get comfortable and start making mistakes.

Edina and St Louis Park (along Edina’s northern border) are the two areas I’m probably going to look at most seriously for housing assuming I make the move. 

For those that live there and do not protest, just do not go out if you can avoid it or try to find back roads. Just my two cents worth.

When I was there for the weekend I stayed in Powderhorn which looks like it is a bit South of the protests. It had a hipster vibe to it but hard to tell since was so cold

I noticed that quite a few abnb's offer month-long stay discounts... some place (factoring in furnishings and utilities) may actually be cheaper than renting your own apartment :lol:

hopefully they won't give the mgmt position to some maroon who will make your life more difficult. in my sitch, they're most likely giving the job to one of my co-workers who is a decent enough guy with lots of experience w/ the company (in his area, anyway) but not very educated. yesterday afternoon i had to explain to him that .0208 is 2.08%.  it blew his f'n mind. :lol:  he had spent most of the day trying to figure out how 1 out of 48 equals 2.08%.  he's like....i kept getting .0208!  yeah, that's most likely going to be my new boss. :unsure:

 

guy who can't do simple math got the job.  this should be fun :lol: 

wait for it.....
