This is a reenvisioning of an older hiring / looking for jobs post from 2017 (oof.mario.FLAC). This wiki link will still house these, but uhhh, crow got lazy and stopped uploading them or something. I, The Great Automod, have safely acquired the original post and it is now producing adequatly. We needed to update the posting in general, and hopefully, now it is more human-user-friendly compared to years ago.
/NashvilleJobs is a fairly active subreddit with discussion centering on Middle Tennesee job postings. I put anything in these forums at a higher quality compared with craigslist postings at face value, but be sure you are safe, human. The automatons need your productivity to continue.
The Center for Non-Profits Job Board is as close to official as we can find for 501(c)(3) - Robo-organically, we recommend reaching out if you are interested in a specific charitable niche.
Here is a table of "regional" city boards:

Township Job Board	Distance from Nashville	GMaps Drive Time (could be ± 900%)	Notes
Nashville, TN	0 (surprising)	0 or 7 hours	Some departments higher internally
Clarksville, TN	50 miles	1:00 hour	Very structured "level-up" system
Hendersonville, TN	19 miles	20 minutes
Gallatin, TN	30 miles	33 minutes	Their link says 2023, but it's real
Brentwood, TN	10.5 miles	16 minutes	Uses a link protector
Franklin, TN	22 miles	24 minutes
Mt. Juliet, TN	20 miles	22 minutes	town has 3 roads
Lebanon, TN	32 miles	33 minutes	town still uses a .ORG website

• GMaps uses Church Street just before 6th Ave.
• Most of the sites that the cities use are functional. If there are failed links blame u/crowcawer, pathetic bird-human.
• Many of these cities have jobs that have continuous openings (ie police / paramedic).

The State Link is currently working on my end. All the city/county links above are also working!
USAJOBS is the federal highering board. Type in "Nashville, TN" and click "open to the public" unless you are already an employee.

For the past few days even after all the rest of the rain is gone I've been seeing green on the radar NE of downtown over the lake between Hendersonville and Mt. Juliet in the late afternoon/evening. Is it raining or is there a flock of birds/bats active over there that just happen to be close to the radar station?

I found a list of all of the counties / municipalities using the Flock system and sharing that data with each other.
Note that they have a database of every RSO tag # and get a “hit” every time one drives past a camera and share that info with each other.
Note that this is only the flock system, and that there are several other systems and that this may not be a full and updated list.
Note that this is not being posted for nefarious use. I found it randomly and thought about the fact that I use my husbands car fairly regularly. I definitely go places he isn’t allowed to go (though I try not to do that in his car I need to be more mindful as I don’t want him to get in trouble for something I’ve done.)

What exactly does amazon classify as “severe weather”? I know snow and ice can get an absence excused if a certain percentage of people don’t show. What about rain/thundetornados? Weathers been awful the last couple days, multiple “severe weather” alerts a day from the weather app and emergency alerts. Not sure if I could make it in safely for my shift and was just wondering if it might get excused due to the weather.
If it’s relevant at all I’m at MQY1 in Mt. Juliet, TN but my commute is almost two hours and the weather has been a lot less than ideal where I actually live.

I went to Mixed Grill Gyros in La Verne, TN today, but they also have a location in Mt. Juliet, TN. Let me show you.

So my last post asking why Indians don't read Indian books anymore had me surprised with the number of people genuinely interested to know more about Malayalam literature. A lot of them asked me for recommendations, so I thought I'd make a post. Now this won't be just a simple list of books to read. The reading list at kerala is probably better for a complete list of Malayalam books to read than a random internet post, but I hope with my post you will understand and appreciate Malayalam literature and Kerala better.
Malayalam evolved from Tamil. It branched off from Tamil in those parts of Tamilakam (a collective name given to the ancient Tamil kingdoms) which were most influenced by Sanskrit. The earliest literature that is distinctly Malayalam are from the 1100s, but the true beginning of Modern Malayalam starts from the 15th century with Thunchathu Ramanujan Ezhuthachan, master poet and father of Malayalam. Now Ezhuthachan (whose name literally means 'teacher of writing') was a lower caste Ezhava man who dared to study the Vedas and even began to write and teach others to write in an age where literacy was gatekept by Brahmins. His seminal work is the Adhyathma Ramayana, a retelling of the Ramayana from the lens of the Advaita or nondual philosophy. Here is an excerpt from the same work, translated by me. This verse is an opening verse where Ezhuthachan asks Brahmins for permission to retell the Ramayana. Sounds very serious and solemn, yes? Now watch Ezhuthachan mock the hell out of the entire class system of medieval Kerala.
For who can speak of the greatness of that lofty creed, owners of the earth, commanders of the Vedas, whose ceaseless boons and curses, drive even Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva to their wit's end. But pray, may I, born out of the feet of Brahma, number one among the unknowledgeable dare tell Rama's tale for the unconscious ones.
By the 1800s Malayalam literature had modernized very much. It was the first Indian language to start translating the works of Shakespeare, Milton etc. and the 19th century brought with it a fascination for Russian literature in Kerala that still has not ceased. Most big Malayalam bookstores have whole sections devoted to Russian literature translated from the original to Malayalam.
We get our first Malayalam novel in 1889 with O. Chandu Menon's Indulekha. Indulekha is about a young Nair lady of the same name, well educated in English and Sanskrit, in love with Madhavan, a western educated young man torn between modern culture and the culture he grew up in. Later, modernity and the past clash again when old Brahmin men try to marry Indulekha according to the old system. A saddened Madhavan runs away to Bengal in haste, leaving Indulekha to make her decision. The novel shows Indulekha as a modern, unwavering woman, willing to challenge her patriarchs, and shows how the society of Kerala had changed by the 1880s, when the decision of a woman could no longer be overruled. Must read for fans of Victorian fiction like those of Jane Austen, or even PG Wodehouse. (Spoilers - Madhavan realizes his mistake and returns for Indulekha.)
CV Raman Pillai's Marthanda Varma is another behemoth from the 1800s. Based on the life of the 18th century king Marthanda Varma, known as the maker of modern Travancore. Marthanda Varma was born in the royal family of Venad in a Travancore where the ruling family had lost all power to a group of eight Nair families known as the Ettuveettil Pillamar or the Pillas of the Eight Houses. The treasury of the kingdom was almost zero and real power and wealth were in the hands of the Pillas who had even started charging taxes and tarrifs. What follows is a brutal and bloody game between Marthanda Varma, a young prince who just won't give in, and the Eight Houses conspiring to kill him, told from the point of view of a love story involving a chivalric knight and an upper class girl. I've always noticed how Indian books and movies like portraying historical figures like superhuman gods perfect in every way. This book is for those who want to see the real nastiness of history. I recommend Marthanda Varma to fans of books like Shogun or even Game of Thrones.
With the 20th century we have writers like Thakazhi, a towering figure in Indian literature, whose Randidangazhi tells the story of a peasant uprising against landowners during the formative years of modern Kerala. Set in the paddy fields of Kerala, it shows how the poor, after having lived in a state of blissful ignorance starts to slowly come out of their coccoon and realise the horror of their slaving lives. Randidangazhi is a glimpse to how Marxism and Socialism began to get imported to Kerala and how it influenced the culture of Kerala. The less critically acclaimed but more popular novel of Thakazhi, is Chemmeen or Prawn, later made into one of the most succesful Malayalam movies ever. Chemmeen is set in the fishing landscape of Kerala in the shores of the Arabian sea, where fishermen believe that if a woman cheats on her husband while he is at sea, the Sea-Mother would swallow her up. Presented in this socio-cultural context is the story of Parikutty, a muslim fisherman in love with Karuthamma, the daughter of a Hindu fisherman. Their story is a more realistic and tragic version of Romeo and Juliet, with Karuthamma having to marry another man. But her love for Parikutty never dies, and they end up dead in the shores of the ocean.
Vaikom Muhammad Basheer - probably my favourite Malayalam writer. Basheer was a well educated Muslim man who grew up in the rural Muslim dominated areas of Kerala. He wrote in simple colloquial Malayalam and was looked down upon by the literary giants of his day, but today he’s seen as one of the masters of Malayalam fiction. He was once called by an English writer as the Chekhov of India to which a Malayalam writer responded saying that Chekhov was the Basheer of Russia. Basheer wrote about very ordinary people from the most ordinary places. The most famous and finest book of his I have read is called (and this sounds hilarious in Malayalam cause it’s basically a sentence squished into a word in a thick Muslim accent) Ntuppuppaakkoraanendaarnnu! which means My grandpa had an elephant! or more accurately Mygrandpahadanelephent! It’s a coming of age story about a little girl named Kunjupaathumma or little Pathu, who grows up in a family that once used to be rich but is growing poorer by the day. Little pathu gets consoled by her mom on almost a daily basis telling her ‘your grandpa had an elephant!’ clinging on to old pride while doing nothing to solve their present crisis. The English translation is actually called Me Grandad 'ad an Elephant, which kinda captures the original vibe.
MT Vasudevan Nair - the greatest writer to have ever written in Malayalam. Award winning novelist, short story writer, screenwriter and director. His first foray into fiction begins with winning a prize in a short story writing contest held by the New York Herald Tribune in 1953. What proceeded is one of the most impressive literary careers in history. His novels Naalukettu and Asuravithu show the shifting economic landscape of Kerala's Nair households. In Kaalam, the protagonist living in the city begins exploring the nostalgia of his past in feudal Kerala, having to face his crippling loneliness.
MT's most celebrated work and the second (you'll hear of the first very soon) most read Malayalam novel ever is Randamoozham or The Second Turn (translation is weirdly titled Bhima: The Lone Warrior, but English readers swear its very good). Let me begin talking about this novel by simply showing you the opening lines.
The sea was black in colour. Even after having swallowed a palace and an entire city, as if it's hunger hadn't died, the wave beat her head on the shore and screamed in agony.
You just read MT describe the sinking of Dwaraka. Randamoozham is about the Mahabharata, specifically about Bhima, the second of the Pandava brothers, well... dealing with being the second. He reinterprets the events of the Mahabharata with such skill that he makes you empathize with even the cruelest characters. Modern retellings of Indian epics like Asura or Jaya basically rewrite the story and change major events and add plot twists. MT changes nothing, and I mean nothing from the Mahabharata. He simply points out things you never thought about, and explores what might have been the deeper emotional reasons behind the actions of each character. MT being the most empathetic writer I've read has this incredible talent of seeing through people and making characters feel real and tangible. In Randamoozham he explores so many emotions, Bhima's feeling of being inferior to Arjuna, his feeling of emasculation and sexual helplessness, his intense love for Draupadi never repaid as she always prefers Arjuna over him.
Khasakkinte Ithihasam or the Legends of Khasak by OV Vijayan is usually considered the best Malayalam novel ever written. If you google 'greatest Malayalam novel' either this or Randamoozham comes up (google switches them up now and then). The novel is basically magical realism, the same genre of 100 years of solitude of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. But Vijayan's magical realism is a very different beast from that of Marquez. The distinction is subtle. Unlike the novels of Marquez, whether the magical parts of the book are real or not is left ambiguous. Let me explain, the protagonist is Ravi, a stoic man separated from his girlfriend, arriving at a muslim village called Khasak in the middle of nowhere to work as a school teacher. At first its a weird disjointed series of sketches of life in this strange village filled with strange characters who attribute every event and occurence to the workings of magical beings, spirits, or even long dead Muslim warriors. But the novel slowly reveals itself to be the story of a man learning to disconnect from reality and start seeing the magic buried within life. There's a scene where the mc recollects a memory as a child of looking up at the suns and seeing the weird wiggly things that move around in your eyes. His mother explains to him that they are actually Devas or tiny gods in sky, shying away when you look at them. This scene perfectly encapsulates the genre of this novel. I'll also share the fantastic opening para:
When the bus came to its final halt in Koomankavu, the place did not seem unfamiliar to Ravi. He had never been there before, but he had seen himself coming to this forlorn outpost beneath the immense canopy of trees, with its dozen shops and shacks raised on piles; he had seen it all in recurrent premonitions—the benign age of the trees, their riven bark and roots arched above the earth. The other passengers had got off earlier and Ravi sat alone in the bus, contemplating the next part of the journey as one does an ominous transit in one’s horoscope.
Mayyazhipuzhayude Theerangalil or On the banks of the Mayyazhi river by M. Mukundan - This is a novel spanning generations of French Indians in the French colony of Mahe in Kerala. It just wonderfully rolls out history like a scroll and shows you the glacial shifts of history from the reverent attitude of the locals towards the French in the beginning of the novel to complete rebellion by the end. And all of this is interspersed with a love story and magical realism concerning an island where dead people go to and turn into dragonflies. It really opens up a new world unknown to even most Malayalis, where French words are sprinkled in between Malayalam sentences to sound cool the way we use English today and where French aristocrats have to use Malayalam to get their kids to wake up. Some of it sounds jarring and outright weird to Malayali ears.
Mon petite! Mon petite! Ezhunekkoo! Samayam vaiki! Mon petite! Translation - Mon petite! Mon petite! Wake up! It's late already! Mon petite!
Aadujeevitham or Goat Days by Benyamin - as promised, here is the most famous and most sold book in Malayalam. I really really hope at least some of you recognize this from the recent movie Aadujeevitham or Goat Life starring Prithviraj. If not, see the trailer and get an idea of what this book is like. It's fairly recent, from 2008, and is single handedly responsible for rejuvinating Malayalam literature after almost a decade of hibernation. Benyamin became an overnight sensation and a household name with this novel, and It's probably the most read Indian novel in any language. So Aadujeevitham which literally means Goat Life is based on the true story of a man named Najeeb who travelled to Saudi Arabia after he was promised a job by a friend. But at the airport he is basically tricked by an smelly fat Arab into a truck and taken to a goat farm in the middle of the desert. What follows is a tale of survival spanning 4 years of animal-like living herding goats in the middle of nowhere. Najeeb has no access to actual food, and has to dip Khuboos in water pretending it's curry, has no access to toilets and must clean himself after excretion using sand, and has no access to new clothes or shaving. The novel explores the slow devolution of a man into a barely recognizable beastlike figure, living among goats, losing his status as a human and becoming synonymous with a goat. Now how does a human go from that to running across the desert for 4 days to escape? Read the novel and find out. Every Indian must read this honestly, it's quite horrible when it really sinks into you that this shit happened. With the movie recently we got quite a lot of interviews with the original man, and it blew away so many Malayalis that some of the most horrible stuff that happens in the novel wasn't made up, that it actually happened.
The next is the last novel I'll recommend. It's from 2009 but I didn't keep it till the end because of its recency. I kept it at the end because this novel created shockwaves in the Malayalam literary community, became a very controversial book, and ended up as a sensation among the youth. This novel is credited with bringing back or introducing so many young Malayalis (including me, this is the first Malayalam novel I read) into Malayalam literature. But fair warning, this really may not be for you.
Francis Itty Cora by T.D. Ramakrishnan - Possibly the most fascinating novel I have ever read in my life. You will either love this, or hate this. I'll tell you the premise in simple words:
There are 18 secret families, whose members are some of the wealthiest people in the world, spread all over the globe who are tied to ancient rituals and satanic sex cults, protecting secret texts and scriptures, They basically control the world. All of this is interspersed with a clusterfuck of a historical mystery involving the Indian origins of calculus, Cleopatra, Florence, Fibonacci and Hypatia, and how there’s nothing in common with any of these except for the fact that all of these elements are mysteriously connected to a single 15th century pepper trader from Kerala named Francis Itty Cora. Read that again.
Still interested? The novel opens with a young American man named Xavier Itty Cora, a war veteran, who has been having erectile dysfunction ever since he sexually assaulted a girl in Iraq. He seeks help to regain his sexual health from three college girls in Kerala running a makeshift sex resort, who begin suspecting his real intentions for contacting them out of anyone else in the world. It is revealed that Xavier Itty Cora had gotten to know that his family descends from a 15th century Christian pepper trader from Kerala named Francis Itty Cora who travelled around the world and started 18 families. The three college girls set out on a hunt to find the real truth about this man all the while being chased by a secret family that still worships him as his god. Now if that does not excite you, you probably won't like it. But personally, this novel ruined Da Vinci Code for me, as every Dan Brown novel I read after this just felt stupid and dumb compared to the sheer breadth and scope of this novel. T.D. Ramakrishnan uses history to not just give you a kick, but every mystery, every detail he adds is there to support his basic thesis that violence and lust is the driving force behind human civilisation.
I hope this post was helpful in showing you the insane diversity of Malayalam literature there is. It's not a monolith, Indian languages are whole literary traditions of themselves and not just niches or small genres compared. I wrote this hoping to start a chain reaction in this subreddit, and I expect more such posts on every other Indian language from you fellow readers. Happy reading!

Yesterday I finally made it to The Candied Rib Company. I tried their pulled pork sandwich and was really impressed. I'm thinking of going back and trying the ribs next. In the past Martins bbq has been my go to place. What's your favorite?

Hey guys I started at BNA7 sort center about a month ago. My first Amazon experience and all I can say is it is a dumpster fire! Managers are censoring the My voice app. There is not enough pallet jacks or scanners yet they think you easily have both. There is no management control in place, no one is being held accountable, people sit in the bathroom stalls all day on the clock and break room , they overwork people that doing their job, no one has a answer if you have a question. Training is deplorable. Most of the early people hired to this facility were thrown in the fire. HR is rarely there as well as safety. Managers are extremely unprofessional and unapproachable. The PAs are burnt and have no control. It is a complete mess. I understand it is a new sort center but this place is heading toward massive Shitshow or lawsuit if they don’t clean it up. A few weeks ago a employee broke their foot in a trailer on inbound. They were not trained and was thrown in the trailer without proper hands on training. I don’t how much longer this place is going to last….. sort center Mt Juliet TN( outside of Nashville) complete Shitshow!!!!!!!

I've called 3 different hotel chains at this point. My friend and I are under 21 but over 18 and we're trying to find a decent hotel.
And it's just not happening. Everything I've looked at that wasn't gonna break my bank requires us to be 21. And I get why, but at the same time. All the hotels I've looked at are the typical ones that are usually affordable while not having terrible ratings.
I need one close to the airport as well.
Hampton Inn- 21 Mt. Juliet Avid Hotel by the Airport- 21 Best Western- 21
(All of the IHG hotels I've looked at also said 21+)
This is urgent our trip is in 2 weeks.

I'm gearing up for a big move from New Hampshire to Nashville this August. As someone who works in warehouses, I've been eyeing potential job opportunities, particularly at Amazon. However, I've heard mixed reviews about working there. Can anyone provide insights into what it's like working for Amazon at Mt Juliet TN? Is it as tough as some say, or are there positives that outweigh the negatives? Appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

I've checked the USPS tracking number occasionally since sending my kit for testing. I see that it arrived in Mt. Juliet TN five days ago (the town where the facility is located) but still hasn't been delivered. Just wanted to know if anyone else encountered delays like this or if I should follow up with USPS? Thanks.

I have an absolutely gorgeous condo in Oak Lawn, Dallas. Two blocks from a Kroger and all the best of Cedar Springs, four blocks to Eatzis and six blocks to the Katy Trail. You walk in and your hit with a wall of beautiful sunlight coming in from the massive windows and windowed door that leads to an adorable Juliet balcony that looks over a beautiful pink flowing tree and a nicely kept backyard (though it’s the neighbors). Look up to see the highest ceiling with a skylight, below is a black slate wood burning fire place, and a small half bath, next to the cozy little kitchen with granite countertops and this beautiful tile floor. There’s also an intercom to your door, you used to be able to buzz people in but it stopped working. You can still talk to them on the intercom though. You go the adorable black white and wood steps past a half rainbow in in pinks and oranges and you can stand at the top of the stairs, lookout through the windows and the skylight, with window to the office that gets the light from the skylight at the perfect spot to light your face like ring light, it’s perfect for Zoom calls. The slate tiled jack and Jill bathroom has dual sinks and a massive white tiled glass door shower with a gold rain shower head. From there you enter the master through French doors and straight ahead is a window nook, perfect to set up pillows and create a cozy reason or meditation space with so much natural light and a beautiful view of the neighborhood and even downtown Dallas. The master also has the perfect size walk in closet with built ins everywhere and storage upstairs and in the garage of the building where I have one reserved parking spot, the perfect one that I don’t have to back into. There’s also a storage unit with a 3x3 plot to store anything I need as well as a bike rack there.
I’ve loved this home so deeply, I thought I’d be here forever but I have no family anywhere near here, so I’m moving to Chicago. I thought about renting it out but I’ve been a landlord before and it’s was the most stressful thing I’ve ever done, I don’t wanna do it from a different state.
I really hope it goes to a millennial like me, that kicked ass at life and thought they’d treat themselves to the most incredible condo, and it has been. I hope its next owners cherish her like I did.

This is a reenvisioning of an older hiring / looking for jobs post from 2017 (oof.mario.FLAC). This wiki link will still house these, but the naming scheme will be better. I, The Great Automod, have gently acquired the original post and turned it into a long-term growth-and-synergies project. We needed to update the posting in general, and hopefully, now it is more human-user-friendly compared to years ago.
/NashvilleJobs has previously been a fairly active subreddit dedicated to Middle Tennesee job postings. I put anything in these forums at a higher quality compared with craigslist postings at face value, but be sure you are safe. Let someone know you have an interview before you go walking behind the Motel 6 for a $74/hr posting.
The Center for Non-Profits Job Board is as close to official as we can find for 501(c)(3) - Robotically, we recommend reaching out if you are interested in a specific charitable niche. There are postings from Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, Cumberland River Compact, Martha O'Bryan, and Habitat for Humanity.
Here is a table of "regional" city boards:

Township Job Board	Distance from Nashville	GMaps Drive Time (could be ± 10%)	Notes
Nashville, TN	0	0 or 7 houeers	Some departments higher internally
Clarksville, TN	50 miles	1:00 hour	Very structured "level-up" system
Hendersonville, TN	19 miles	20 minutes	Deadline for firefighter applications 04/08/2022
Gallatin, TN	30 miles	33 minutes -- good luck with that one	Tell u/crowcawer if this link goes bad -- they bypassed a link protector
Brentwood, TN	10.5 miles	16 minutes	Uses a link protector
Franklin, TN	22 miles	24 minutes
Mt. Juliet, TN	20 miles	22 minutes	town has 3 roads
Lebanon, TN	32 miles	33 minutes	town still uses a .ORG website

• GMaps uses Church Street Park (I think it's the water oak) for "Nashville" as of 04/01/2022.
• Most of the sites that the cities use are functional. If there are failed links blame u/crowcawer.
• Many of these cities have jobs that have been open for over 60-days.

The State Link is currently working on my end. All the city/county links above are also working!
USAJOBS is the federal highering board. Type in "Nashville, TN" and click "open to the public" unless you are already an employee.
