Driving to a new job (for people living in orange county, CA)?

Go to mapquest and type in both your home address and the new job address, and you'll see the fastest way - will give you time & mileage for trip and you can calculate gas usage, then you can make up your mind.
2 :
From my experience, traffic is typically worse going the other direction (from Corona to your area). Is this an 8 - 5 job? If so you're probably looking at a little traffic, but it shouldn't be too bad considering most people are driving into Orange County from Riverside County to work, versus the opposite, so you should miss the worst of the traffic. According to Google Maps it would normally take about 30 minutes, but can take up to 1 hour and 30 minutes with traffic. Yikes! Definitely consider gas costs here.

About Questions about makeup artists

Questions about makeup artists?
Hi! I am 17 years old and I am really hoping to pursue a career as becoming a makeup artist. I've researched about this position on the internet many times, but my questions don't seemed to be answered. I am planning to take a class at Glammin Studios in Santa Ana, CA and I was wondering if that would be enough education to become a professional makeup artist. Are there any specific courses which I need to take at a college? Also, what is the annual income of someone who works at MAC and the annual income of someone who works at fashion shows or on TV sets?

Here are three excellent schools in the Los Angeles area that you should look into - L.A. School of Makeup (aka Makeup Designory, or M.U.D.), Cinema Makeup School, and Westmore College. I toured all three and ended up choosing MUD, but they are all excellent schools. You can find all of these online. They do give tours. Just call ahead first. Also look into JoeBlasco dot com, and to find any more type in a search on "makeup schools Los Angeles". Good luck!

Don't bother going to school, it usually a waste of money. Instead find an artist in your area, pay his / her day rate and learn from them for a few days. You can also apprentice under established artists. Read all the FAQs on this site for tonnes of info http://p082.ezboard.com/bmakeupandrelatedindustries Someone who works at MAC as a salesperson is usually not a working artist, they are paid crappy, retail wages, because it is a crappy, retail job. They are SALES people, judged on how much product they sell, not on their makeup skills. BTW, a lot of make up artists are no longer using MAC products because of the lowered quality (no longer stands up to professional use) and their ethics are questionable. The range of artist pay is $0 to millions, it all depends on your talent and networking skills. It takes a long time to build up your name and client base so my advice is to soak up as much information as you can and practice, practice, practice. Check out the above site, it will give you more than enough information to start out.

I just jump into the swimming pool in the backyard and fill it with ice, but it takes a while for us because the pool's pretty big If you don't have a pool, try jumping around in the sprinkler or have a watergun fight if you're too mature for that, just bear it. 81 degrees isn't that hot, or maybe get your AC fixed
2 :
it's 84 here in NYC but it's not even hot. it's not humid it's not windy. feels like spring. it's not hot at all at the beach. we don't even use the air conditioner in our house it's not hot at all in NYC even though it's 84 it feels like 65 degrees.
3 :
81? Oh, my freaking god! I wish it was that cool here...that's not 'heat'! It's 98 here! I've got my A/C set to 81, and it feels like an icebox in my house compared to the outside. Toughen up already!
4 :
So, fix the air conditioning. I have a window unit which I use when needed.
5 :
We are not getting much heat. The beach might offer some relief.
6 :
I lived in Fla three yrs is was too humid but it's my second home,anyway put a cold washcloth on your face and put your face in the freezer for a few seconds if you think about the heat you'll get hotter mom's quote born in fla and eat cold food
7 :
Wow...81 is nothing, it's supposed to hit 101 today. I guess you could always go to the store and hang out there...they usually have ACs going.
8 :
Ya know I'm sorry to say I'm not having that problem this year. I live in Austin Texas and it has rained almost every day for the last 3 month. This years record rain fall, has ended a 6 year drought. Normally it should be in the high 90s already it has barely gotten above the 80's and at night it has really cooled off. It been very civilized. Normally its hot and everything is brown by now.What have we done to our planet?
9 :
Get a towel and put some ice in it. Roll it long ways and then put it on your neck. Sit in front of the fan. If you run out of ice, put cold water on the towel and leave a little wet, not to drippy, and sit in front of the fan. (I used to work in a dry cleaners pressing clothes, no air conditioning, with hot weather. We used towels on our necks and drank lots of weak tea!)
10 :
I have a AC but it doesn't come on when needed. So what I do is sit on the computer with the fan blowing on high in my face Have it in a window and have the window open. Or you could buy a small pool fill it with icey cold water and sit in it with your shades on drinking Ice cold beer. Or Kool Aid or what ever you like to drink.

it was 106 with 40% humidity today here in vegas. I beat the heat by not bitching about it.

I used to live in Coronado. I remember how hot it used to get. We didn't have air conditioning. What I used to do was to take a big box fan and put it in the window, facing in. If it is hotter inside than it is outside, this is a good way to bring the outside air in. This works great at night too. It feels like air conditioning. I used to jump into a cool shower or hang out in a cool bath sometimes too. I remember people getting on my case for feeling hot when the temp was only 81. However, it was too hot for me. Now we live in the midwest and the temp was in the high 90's for weeks. Fortunately, we have central air here so I just stay inside. Save your pennies. Maybe next year you can invest in one small window air conditioning unit. They sometimes go on sale at the end of the summer. It's rough living in the heat with no way to keep cool. Good luck, my friend.

About Are these good enough credentials to become a firefighter/Paramedic/Rescue worker

Are these good enough credentials to become a firefighter/Paramedic/Rescue worker?
Hello, an American male, 22 years of age, and these are my credentials/resume, I am wondering if they are enough to get a good paying job as a firefighter/paramedic/rescue worker in the USA (Western Coast, California). I might also be interested in getting a similar job in continental Europe (Denmark-Norway, so would these help as well?) Here they are: 2 Year degree in Fire Science(Local Community College) 2 Year degree in Fire Protection(Same college, though I double majored on these 2 subjects) Certified Red Card Holder(Professional certification in Wild land fire suppression and equipment) Certified Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic(highest category, goes from basic, intermediate, to paramedic in my state) 500 Hours of Volunteer work at my Local Fire Department (Santa Ana, California) 1000 Hours of Volunteer work at the Search and Rescue (Mt. Baldy, California) I was also in the Fireman Explorer program when I was 15-17 years old, is a program for youth that is to teach them the core competency of being a firefighter and helps getting them in physical and mental shape to do so, there is no certification for it, but I got a small certificate proving I did it and showing my hours. The only problem is that I don't have a high school diploma, I dropped out because I did not have enough credits (Because I was home schooled the first 2 years of highschool, and my district did not recognize my first 2 years, so my choices were to continue high school until I was 20 years old, or start my career training at 18, I chose the latter, and I'm hoping I dont have to pay for it.) Thanks in advance.

I don't know of a department in California that doesn't require either a high school diploma or a GED. You will need one of those before even applying.
2 :
Denmark and Norway are two separate countries. They split 200 years ago
3 :
I am also in So Cal, and you WILL need your GED or Diploma. if you have the college credits look into challenging the GED test. take it, pass it, get the piece of paper.
