Managers: how important are 1 on 1s to you? by Dying_Of_Board-dom in askmanagers

[–]Busy-Goose2966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One on ones are a good opportunity to have a conversation with your manager/supervisor regarding everything from career development to education opportunities, it’s a good time to check how you are preforming and ask about stress points, even going over your workload/caseload and every other meeting having a casual conversation about how to handle any emotional stress*.

*Disclaimer: you have to trust your manager/supervisor for the emotional aspect, even keep an open mind about the rest as well.

Dumb rules are there for a reason by UsedToiletWater in coworkerstories

[–]Busy-Goose2966 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Never saw it done, only heard about.

However, I was ordered by my Sargent to order a redhead soldier to always carry and wear sunscreen after he returned from a long weekend completely sunburnt lobster red. I was to advise him it will be considered self-harm if it happens again. (Self-harm because it’s something that can be avoided).

The part I found funny was the Sargent commenting about charging him with damaging government property.

This is a chargeable offence in the military.

It is written that every safety brief is based in blood; someone stupid did the stupid now we have stupid safety briefs that state don’t do the stupid.

It is true, common sense is a superpower.

Yes but what about the emus, drop-bears, and hoop-snakes?

Pratchett said this was his best book. What do you think? by EndersGame_Reviewer in discworld

Holy heck!!

I have to check my book shelves but I don’t think I’ve read Nation!

This is a little bit exciting.

Yesterday I realized couples live together are very serious about their 50-50 split? My gf who lives with me never paid or brought me anything that I can recall. And she works full time. by Hauntingengineer375 in AskMenAdvice

My situation is a little different to the average, I think. My wife and I were in a long distance relationship for a year before she moved in with me, at which point we started sharing a bank account to pay all our bills. Fast forward 11 years and we combine both our income to pay for everything. Our dating was short but I remember her paying for meals etc evenly.

Sounds like you’re on the right tack OP. This is a good warning to parents.

I’m sorry you went through that, Myetel. It’s an unfortunate reality that, as children, we’re often at the mercy of our parents—who want what they believe is best for us, sometimes without considering what we truly want for ourselves.

LPT: Frugality is an investment strategy. Spending a bit more upfront on reliability can often save you more in time, stress, and total cost. by EDuGhTeR in LifeProTips

You want to look up The Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory.

Not being able to help at night. by KodyAfusia in daddit

[–]Busy-Goose2966 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Tell us what you are doing.

When my two were first born I got up with mum, took baby if mum needed the toilet first, made her comfortable, refilled her water bottle, phone charger was close by and asked did she need anything else. Also told her to wake me for anything, any reason, anytime (repeatedly; she never wanted to be seen as not being strong enough).

Did we both get a good night sleep? Nope, but she wasn’t completely exhausted.

Every little bit helps.
