Ugh I just went through something similar at work. The pay never seems to rise with the workload.

Nope it doesn't. One of the ladies that works up from in check in has applied for the position so hopefully she will get it. The state or county I'm not sure which made it a requirement that anyone getting hired has to have finger prints done and that takes about 3 weeks to get back.

You might not sell it, but would you trade it for some really nice coral?

Barely worth my while. I might get 5k at best. I suppose I could it for bidding on eBay and see if I could do better…🤣🤣🤣

Hellfire started out on Facebook. He maintains a pretty healthy presence there and does several auctions a month.

I have 0 actual experience with the guy, just follow him there.

He seems alright, honestly I just wasn't sure why FB was involved since I ordered directly from the site. I'll say that the prices and corals were great, so I hope it's a good experience. It most likely won't be my last order with him if everything works out.

I don't think both of my kidneys together are worth 5k 😂 If I gave Kevin one, he'd be right back in this situation eventually 😢
 
Calmwaters said:
I honestly didn't interact with him I just placed the order and waited for it to come. I don't remember if I got any kind of shipping notification.

My first order was quick. Sent out within 48 hrs. This time I ordered on the 25th and got the same answer. I did the email route. Next I’ll see about FaceBook. Initially very responsive but now it’s not so much.
