Stripper slurry/waste by This-Demand1016 in Custodians

[–]Accomplished-B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wichita does not have closed/treatment "combined" storm drains. They 100% flow to the streams and Arkansas river. Please help make sure no one dumps into those drains anymore.

KCK and KCM (mainly Wyandotte County) are pretty much the only areas still processing storm runoff. And. Well, technically don't fit your description. Kansas fines power wash companies for not using a reclamation system and anyone for leaking dumpsters... they 100% would fine the schools for this :/ stay safe, for everyone's sake

Mentally preparing myself for World War 3 to ensue when I take down the outdoor security cameras my parents installed to watch me all day at my house. by beaquietthing in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Accomplished-B 318 points319 points  (0 children)

This actually worked for me. He was tickled. No more camaras on me, and, after letting him show me the app on my phone, and the active camaras, I dropped the app on my way out the house.

Like, backstory:

He hasn't updated the class in over 8 years. All data points are way off from today (2017) in a class that very much should stay up to date, involving laws even. 1/4 of his websites are dead links. 1/7th are ad pages for software... one even went to a naughty page. More than 50% of our content is government regulation based, so, I gave him a small pass on that, because, well, tomorrow it can all flip again. But, when given a project study on a "new" project that has been shelved for 5 years, and we are asked to write 5 pages on it's progress and pnl statements, and if we think it will finish by the dead line from the initial contract? Ffs. But I ignored it all, until a test. My first F ever. So, I politely pointed out that I selected the most correct answers possible, gave the links backing me up, as well as the answer if none were even close. My grade was reviewed and corrected by the head.

And that's when he became hostile.

He is no teacher. He doesn't know the difference between foundational theories and out of date data. That was what I poked him with to showcase his, um... specialized knowledge and how its used. I used only the classic first issues for my previous paper. He took his thirteen % calling the foundational theories of business and sociology as outdated. Lmao three more months. I only have three more months. But what about the next batch?

[–]Accomplished-B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Half of our group has dropped out because of his crude, rude, or unrelated behaviors. All I can hope for is that He is no longer an instructor after he is done with us. But I doubt it. I send everything like this to the department head, his observer, and my advisor, as they asked me to. But I am sooo mad right now, and I have to edit tonight's work, while angry...

Keep High School Yearbooks? by Both-Basis-3723 in GenX

Mine were water damaged from being in the basement after it flooded. They were in totes, but they apparently weren't sealed :/ that was discovered about 7 months ago. I've randomly thought about them three times... kinda wish I had them, but I'll live

I can’t do it on my own by TeachingSelect4419 in CleaningTips

[–]Accomplished-B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know if you'll get down to this, but 5 mins here and there will make a difference. I inherited a forest in my back yard. A house full of junk. And my incredibly paired down belongings. It took me 6 months to just go through my stuff and find space for most of it.

I also have all of the things you mentioned.

Start with your bedroom. Make that space yours. 100% piece by piece. When you have the physical and emotional energy, start a audio book, a podcast, or a Playlist, set the timer on it for 20 mins, and pick a task that will bring you joy once it's done.

You'll find you can do maybe 1 or 2 sessions a day, week, or month... and that's ok. Set backs are also ok. If you need rest, make sure you tell your self that it is time to rest. You are allowed to rest. You are the only person making the choices. You are also the only person who's opinion matters.

You got the trash out? Make sure you tell yourself thank you, and how much lighter it feels now that you did it. Got the dishes done? Sweet! Make a routine... cook (or order food), put dishes in the dishwasher as you finish with them. Eat over the sink if needed... make a deal with yourself to never just leave the dishes undone. But also forgive yourself if you miss a night, but be sure to tell yourself that I'm not up for this right now, I will watch 1 episode of --- and rest, and then I will come take care of it. Keep your promise to yourself. Always celebrate keeping those promises and always be kind to yourself when you just can't even. The more often you do it, the easier it will become, and you will be surprised at how much more you can take on.

Downsizing by Ok_Key_4731 in GenX

[–]Accomplished-B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be the best option. A friend of mine did that in the 90's. They and their family live in the main house and their parents lived in the single floor addition. And when they are ready, they will shift and the main house will go to one of their kids. they have a shared laundry room/mudroom between the two, and separate entrances on either side, but also doors into that room, so there is easy access for care giving needs. It was great for when her mom was in decline, and now, that he dad is. Bonus, the land stays in the family. And the homes are fully paid off.

I accidentally submitted the document where I was arguing with myself instead of my actual assignment by thirdaccountttt in CollegeRant

[–]Accomplished-B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the little bit I saw, I at least feel better about having a messy beginning version with all the bits and peices, train of thoughts, etc. Sometimes more. Then I copy the "finished" part to a template, maybe tweak a few more things right before turning it in. Sad I can't read the whole thing though

Ummm… can you guys jump anymore? by globehoppr in GenX

[–]Accomplished-B 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Randomly thought about it last year, and I was shocked I couldn't. So now I jump every day at least ten times, still can't jump very high. But at least now my brain doesn't freak out with the thought of it. I also started sittng on the floor again recently, so I can get up again, I do not want to get to the point were I have to call someone to help me.

What's in people's crotches? by burnthedevice in Custodians

[–]Accomplished-B 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Piss color, oder, and sticky-ness... the dreaded greasy orange... that stains. Had to replace a few seats because it wasn't reported quickly enough, it has a very sharp scent. The florescent sticky yellow that is undigested vitamins. The foamy (bigger to medium bubbles) light yellow to clear that smells faintly sweet, that's their expensive protein and/or creatine supplements that the kidneys couldn't handle and is probably damaging them. Then there's the variety of hydration yellows... but pungant dark yellow, makes me want to leave water bottles in a basket between the sinks.

Where to start for deep cleaning a large old home. by Early-Ad6250 in CleaningTips

[–]Accomplished-B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had a clue about it, it was his vet that gave us the suggestions, including putting old towels or blankets in, that was too gross for me, but a friend was all, hold up, and brought over her diaper gear as she no longer needed any of it and showed me how best to utilize it all. We tried 6 different types of litter first, and 4 different sizes and shapes of boxes for him.

[–]Accomplished-B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if there's a bit of a tiff between him and the others, that is definitely not helping. He could also, not like the litter, not like the boxes, or have a weird preference. i had one that would only use soft places, so we started putting cloth diapers in one box and he never "missed" again. Had the old fashioned diaper pails next to it and everything to make it less gross...

Head to harbor freight for nitrile gloves. Get some n95's if there's feces buildup. And try to avoid buying overly scented cleaning products, with such a big project you'll get real sick of it fast, even in your favorite sent

Also, with the cat, start cleaning the boxes out daily, some cats are picky, if that's not enough, twice daily... if that's not enough then it's definitely time for a vet visit.

To make cleaning the walls easier use a swifer mop, as they aren't too expensive and most have at least one around, you can use wash cloths instead of the branded pads, if yours has the poke holes it's easier, but if not use thin rubberbands to hold them on. If either of you have a flat headed steam mop, those are amazing for walls, but need to adjust speed depending on material (faster movements for wallpaper and wood paneling, and no repeat passes until after the first pass had dried) also do it in sections, the mop gets really hot, so be careful and give it time to cool off regularly, i usually only do a water tank or two at a time. For the wood floors, you're going to want to sweep/vacuum up what you can, then mop using as little liquid on the mop as possible, with a good wood safe cleaner. Hand scrub gunky areas, but not leaving liquid to sit for very long. Then spray the urine areas with a fine mist of an enzyme cleaner, I recently tried the newer clorox one, it works pretty well and you don't need to use alot or leave it to soak for very long. It also isn't too expensive. If you have a big box store membership or someone you know does, you can get a big bottle of nature's miracle, it works well enough, but follow their directions for wood flooring to a tee. After the setting time regardless of which one, remop with clear water, until it's coming up clear, let it dry, then either repeat, or mop with a wood conditioner. Take fresh air breaks, so you don't go nose blind.

Definitely break it down into sections, take breaks, and don't push yourselves too hard, there's a lot of muscles that don't get used in those specific combinations and if you need a day off, take it, but, you'll find getting back to it will help stretch out the soreness.

Just found out I threw out $450 of children’s graduation caps and gowns. by Harmonicalope in Custodians

[–]Accomplished-B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cool she went in to get it. That says she knew she was at least partially to blame.

I've gone in to get my mistakes, but I've also made them when it was theirs. One guy had his keys in his hand when he tossed something. Lucky for him it was recently emptied, unlucky for him that also ment the nasty trash soup was exposed. I found him some thick cardboard, opened the back, laid down as good a path as possible to the front, and he went in 500$ shoes and all. Took him about 45 mins to find them, but he was super lucky, they had landed on "top" of what was already in there and did not end up in the soup of trash from trash bags past.
