West Thompson Dam has awesome trails all around it. There's this other one, Furnace something, with a lake and a good hike and great eastward views. You're not far from Leadmine in Sturbridge and Moore in Spencer up in Mass, and the Airline Trail's northern section goes right into Douglas State Forest which has an awesome bridge trail through the cedar swamp.

Almost forgot Bull Hill in Woodstock for a great sunset.

Health care manufacturing administration insurance underwriting accounting risk assessment etc

I'm jus' pain covered with skin.

Way better. Lot of retirements going on. Do you know the difference between a Crescent wrench and a combination wrench? You're hired. Military vet, even though it's not aviation related? You're hired. Right off the bat you're looking at about $35/hr

Happy cake day.

There are so many! The two longest are Nipmuck an Natchaug. Nipmuck Trail goes from Mansfield Hollow State Park near UConn all the way to the MA border at Bigelow Hollow State Park. Natchaug Trail goes from Godwin State Park through Natchaug State Forest to Nipmuck Trail in Yale-Meyers Forest. There are tons of small local trails, many can be seen on openstreetmap.org.

Why are you paying their car insurance?

I work in risk management, I did study math but it’s not a requirement. It really depends on department, role and manager

Yes, that includes taxes. Bought for $350k in 2016; we sold our previous house so we had a sizable down payment to keep the mortgage down and we refinanced to 2.9% in December 2020.

I used to work in local news. I now work for a large international company based in Stamford. My wife also works in media for a well know company.

Do you work for a TV station/company or free lance work?

Auto collision repair

Then that's an issue with the insurance companies isn't it?

Quirkworks Brewing 78 triangle street! Right in Danbury across the street from the dmv really great tap list and have trivia on fridays and live music on Saturdays.

Get into being a machinist

Financial, I'd go healthcare if you can

Bowling or something idk. But have you guys ever gotten drunk and played hide and seek outside at night? THAT is where it’s at

Do you ever feel regretful about being an HR professional given what the world tells us you do (help out employees in struggling situations) vs what you're actually supposed to do (help the business achieve it's goals)? I only ask because I see memes like this all the time

I'm moving because I want to leave NY. Overcrowded and rent is too expensive.

My aunt died of Cancer and it physically destroyed the beautiful woman she was.

Because we like to complain?

That is helpful! Thank you

Did you have to go to school for it? And how long if you don’t mind me asking (saves me a Google search)

Just a reminder Amazon kept their workers working until the very last moment during a Tornado which resulted in 6 people dying. Amazon doesn’t give a shit about their employees.

I’m going to look into that I think. I never even thought of insurance as a potential career
