Local in Carlsbad hoping to find part time work in something hands on to help with adjusting to having a primary part time job.

I’ve been employed full time the last 5 years. Recently I took an opportunity that pays well and is in my exact field of study. But now I have to adjust to working two jobs to match my full time schedule. I’m hoping to find something that is a bit more hands on and not so formal, like a print shop, record store, personal assistant, barista etc., as I’ve always been interested in learning more hands on skills. I have many years of great customer service (front desk, memberships, facility management, admin) as well as graphic design, photography, social media management, branding, community engagement and large scale event planning/hosting.

My new schedule should be regularly M-F with some weekends or evenings for event coverage. (Will know in advance for scheduling)

Would love to connect with anyone who is in need of help, willing to share knowledge or knows of any pointers. I’ve been working down in SD proper so I haven’t had a lot of time to explore north county to make some connections. Many thanks in advance! :)

I can't bring myself to go to the European wax anymore I just want someone running their own business to either come to my house or I go to theirs... clean and professional, preferably not too $$$

In 2007 the Witch Creek, Rice and Guejito Fires merged as they tore through San Diego County, killing two people, sending 40 firefighters to the hospital, and reducing 1,300 homes to rubble. Regulators would later blame SDG&E for starting the fires, saying the utility neglected its power lines. SDGE attempted to pass the $379 million in uninsured wildfire costs onto its utility ratepayers. The California state courts blocked the request, ruling that management was imprudent in handling the risks...

So what was SDGE's response? Following the 2007 fires, the utility systematically transformed its infrastructure spending upwards of 6 billion dollars in wildfire grid upgrades funded heavily via ratepayer. $6 billion to its infrastructure rate base means SDGE will earn an estimated $312 million in annual net profit.

Under California law, investor-owned utilities do not make a profit on the electricity itself; instead, they are guaranteed a ~10% return on equity for building infrastructure. SDGE does not earn the 10% profit on the entire $6 billion chunk of spending. Instead profits are only generated from the shareholder-funded equity portion of their capital setup. The shareholder equity portion is 52% of the $6 billion expenditure which equals $3.12 billion in equity rate base. 10% of $3.12 billion yields $312 million each year in profit, which is collected directly from ratepayers via delivery fees over the useful life of the assets. SDGE doesn't just make that $312 million profit once. They earn it annually over the entire multi-decade useful life of the infrastructure, as long as those assets remain actively in service.

Regulated utilities do not treat infrastructure investments like a retail sale where profit is realized a single time. Instead, the infrastructure becomes part of their permanent "rate base," allowing them to collect a predictable, repeating stream of annual earnings.

So to recap... SDGE caused a wildfire and was forced to pay $379 million. They tried to pass the costs to ratepayers but got denied. They respond by spending $6 billion in wildfire infrastructure upgrades that nets them an estimated $312 million a year in shareholder profits...

Any recommendations for a good place to take grandkids trick or treating in Escondido? Thanks.

So apparently there was an update to my energy center yesterday. I true up in march. For the CEA balance it says past due. Are we expected to pay the CEA balance monthly? Or are we just now given the option to pay the CEA balance before true up?

In Sprouts center next to Stagecoach Park.

Unexpected abrupt move from Maui has led us to Vista. We are coming in completely blind next month, got a cute little 1950s rental house just above the 78. We are the outdoorsy adventurous type, so I’d love to hear suggestions for places to take the 6&8 year olds, best hikes/parks/places to eat. Thank you 🙏

I was on a hilltop in southeast Esco looking West Northwest a bit after the sun went down and saw a massive cigar shaped object with a flashing red light on one end. I only saw it for about a minute as I was driving down through some hills.

The singing alone was Broadway caliber. Highly recommend experiencing this show in the small Oceanside Theater. Well worth a night out in Oceanside.

We're local, but still newish to the area. We have family visiting over the Thanksgiving holiday and want to have lobster. We're open to cooking them ourselves or ordering at a restaurant.

Recommendations for where to purchase live or restaurants in North County to get lobster please.

I tried to search in this subreddit and had no luck.

Thank you in advance!

Anyone know of or have any recommendations for getting an area rug cleaning in the area? Have a 8x10 rug that I would like to get cleaned.

Edit: over 1k views and not a single recommendation?

Anyone have a Bambi Labs AMS 2 Pro I can borrow on Monday and Tuesday? Trying to print a Halloween accessory for my son and the print has 6-8 colors on 3 plates.

Hello!
We recently toured preschool’s around the Ranch Bernardo/ Carmel mountain area and got prices between 1800-2200 ( 2 year old) for twice a week attendance. Unfortunately, nobody really puts their prices online to be publicly viewed. I was hoping a few people might be willing to share what they’re currently paying for preschool and how many days your kid is currently attending. I would love some preschool suggestions as well if you’re willing to share/DM. Thank you all in advance!
