  • define “work well”.

    I work in contract security, and I’ve spent the better part of a decade doing armed shit for that. Plenty of high pressure incidents. Nobody died, which was praised. But somehow I get the feeling the interviewer wouldn’t like that kind of “work”. (Like stuffing my hand up an entry wound when a construction contractor through-and-through’d his thigh with an air nailer. 9 penny nail hit his femoral artery. "hey buddy this is gonna hurt’ when the dude is bleeding out was, maybe stating the obvious. Yes. he lived. most awkward ambulance ride ever.)(in a fit of irony, their boss made him the safety guy. which he takes seriously now.)







  • There’s too many unknowns here for you to get a reasonable answer.

    I suggest asking a workplace lawyer based in your city.

    If she’s part of a union, they probably have lawyers on hand she can talk to. If she’s not part of a union… I’m confident she can find one that would be willing to help if she joined. (Or at least give a referral to a local lawyer.)

    But also, just for the record, I’ve never known it to go well when a BF/GF or any kind of romantic partystarts intruding into this kind of thing. I’ve fired more than a couple people because their intimate partner kept showing up making demands, and know a few others that dumped their partner because they decided they weren’t being “aggressive” or needed “protecting”… just some advice, but if your GF isn’t asking for this help, it might be best to sit it out. It’s certainly not a good idea to go directly to her boss/client.

    For the record, the starch in the pasta water acts as an emulsifier- things like carbonara rely on it to keep the sauce from breaking; and it’ll help red sauces to adhere more to the pasta.

    As a side note… cook the pasta little under and transfer it to the sauce to finish. (I believe that’s what the other commenter was suggesting,)

    Usually I just do a terrible job draining and that’s enough- it doesn’t take a lot;
