Recent grad trying to get started in Durham

Upvotes

Hey y’all, figured I’d throw this out here and see if anyone knows of any places hiring around Durham/RTP.
I recently graduated with a degree in Business Administration and I’m looking to get my career started. I’m pretty open when it comes to the type of role. management, operations, HR, sales, etc.
I’ve been applying around, but figured sometimes the best leads come from people who actually live/work in the area. If you know of anywhere hiring or a company I should check out, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!

Every EMS vehicle in three counties was seemingly at Falls Lake Sandling Beach this afternoon. There were also folks doing a human chain. Anyone know what was up? Nothing in the news yet that I can see.

Lake People

Upvotes

I’ve grown up in the SE United States and I’m in the Bull City. During summers and holiday weekends our neighbors are what I would call “lake people” they hitch up the boats and pack away for a day on the lake. It always sounds fun but I have never done it. What does it take to learn about boating to become a lake person? Can I rent a boat? How does it all work?

Hey everyone,

My band Spike Hellis is bringing our minimal synth/EBM sound to Durham tonight, Monday September 7th with Nuxx joining us as direct support. Local act Corpse Dust is on the bill as well.

Tonight is the 25th show of a 53-date run across the US and Canada in support of our new album, Successor. It's our first time playing in Durham, so it would be great to see and meet some new faces.

Doors will be at 7:30 and you can still snag advance tickets here. Hope to see you tonight!

Epic fail - ATM stolen from outside Boxcar in the wee hours this morning

Post image
Upvotes

I took this at around 7:15am this morning across the street from my house. The cop I spoke with said the getaway car had been dragging the ATM machine behind the truck before pulling over to attempt hoisting it up onto the truck bed using their ladder. Someone called the police when they saw the ATM being dragged by so they were thankfully busted before succeeding. Crazy! And what is up with the TP?!

Stay at home dads?

Upvotes

Hey y’all,

I’m a recent stay-at-home dad looking to build community here in Durham, especially for other stay-at-home dads. It can be a pretty isolating role since most of the groups I’ve seen online are for moms or for just the first few months of parenting.

Many of my friends in the area are busy 9am-5pm, and with my little one, it’s hard to get involved in any local organizations at the moment.

I’m looking for fellow dads interested in stroller walks/runs, bike rides with their little ones, hikes, or other pre-toddler friendly activities (not ready for playgrounds yet, but soon!) My dream would be to have weekly outdoor activity for us.

Please feel free to comment or dm me if you’re interested!

Found a tiny kitten, but vets are closed Monday

Upvotes

Does anyone know of anywhere that is open Monday, Labor Day? I found a very tiny kitten with obvious infection issues. Eyes and nose are crusted over. Probably 3 weeks old. What do I do?

EDIT: I got an appointment at Truss Urgent care. They didn’t have appointments listed last night but today they did.
Thanks for the help. I’m so worried about it.

Update: it’s a boy! 3 weeks old. He has upper respiratory infection and eye infection both treating with meds. He’s still having to be bottle fed which isn’t something I can sustain long term so reaching out to foster companies!

Thanks for everyone’s help!

This is a long shot which is why I’m posting on Reddit. Do you have a hi-8 cassette player you haven’t donated yet that you could lend me for a few weeks?? Need it to look at some videos on cassette before digitizing. DM please!

American diner

Upvotes

I've friends visiting from the UK and they're eager to experience an old fashioned American diner, preferably where they can sit at a counter and watch the short order cook fry eggs, bacon, home fries, etc. in full view. There are plenty of fine diners around where the meal arrives from an unobserved kitchen. Any around with the grill etc., in full view? Edit: Thanks everyone. I don't think Waffle House will fit the bill. The search continues. Edit 2: Recommendations still coming in. You all are the best! Hadn't heard of Snooze, Hayes Barton Cafe or Tanya's. All sound like unique experiences and are sure to please.
