Listen to live music everyday if the week. Go pet some dogs at Austin Pets Alive, they will be friends forever. BBQ crawl. Shop at Waterloo records. Learn a new instrument at strait music. Start a band and book some gigs.

There’s a place out on lake Travis that does scuba diving. When lake is full, i think it’s maybe 100 feet to the lakebed floor in that particular location. No idea what it’s called, sorry.

Trivia and arcades are fun. Pinballz is great.

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
