    Looking for local installer in Tahoe

    Don't get it. People asked me to do that allll the time. I did it a couple times and both times within 6 months they had nothing but issues and at that point they were locked in a 2 year contract and couldn't even watch what their paying. Do not get this. You will regret it once it goes bad

    Dish Network Tech job interview-- what questions to expect? Tips to impress?

    They will train you on the job about everything you need to know. You won't learn a lot but they will try. Tech skills help but they will hire someone who has worked at a grocery store for 30 years

Had another job another...
