I am a DM, might be doing my IDC soon. Not planning on ever making it a full time thing though

My local shop has been after me about being a DM and supporting classes. I’m interested in DM just to reinforce the content, but no real interest in teaching. However, could be fun to meet people, log dives for free, and pick up some extra cash.

DM Training is very interesting and definitely made me a better diver (especially if they want you to help with classes, so there’s more emphasis in skills). Diving with non certified people can be nerve wrecking as some people easily panic and swim to the surface, but teaching is cool. Money…. Well it’s some pocket money here and there so will not change your life lol I would recommend.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Hey Recruiters, stop trying to connect with me on LinkedIn when I don’t know you - no you can’t have access to my contact. When you do send me message, maybe do a little home work. And when you do work with a candidate, update them regularly - it’s not that hard.

Just venting:::
I had a interview for Human resources assistant position yesterday and while screening me. The lady mentioned that the position has already been filled as of yesterday but they still want to continue my screening for the future. I told her that we can continue if there are similar job opportunities open which there is another position but it has "ALSO" been filled as of today. I was just so irritated. I feel like it was just a waste of my time if I decided to going forward.

I’ll be retiring from a public school system in the next 3-5 years. My husband, a Navy vet, and I are tossing around the idea of then relocating to a country that has a military base nearby. We’d both be interested in at least part-time gigs: me as a teacher preferably on base and he’s open to jobs on or off base. Does anyone know any educators currently doing that or planning to??

• Cant check laptop because of battery and it won’t fit it scuba gear bag… that’s why I have 2 hands (coffee and random laptop)
