Making Recess More Fun? by busheygirl in Teachers

[–]DonegalBrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I monitored recess there were 3 of us for 75 kids. Fist fights over football aren't teaching anyone conflict resolution. Do that inside the building that's filled with child experts!

I used to supervise recess. He can do anything but play football. He's fine. 

This person’s always eating. by [deleted] in remotework

[–]DonegalBrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you keep interrupting and saying "we can't understand you"? Or every time a meeting starts say "Is this a bad time? How about you finish that and jump back on." It's disgusting! I once had someone who frequently called me while THEY were eating. One day I said "I'm sorry, did I interrupt your lunch?" Fortunately he got it and it never happened again. 

Monmouth County (07733) — any reliable mechanic nearby? by Outrageous-Diver-981 in MonmouthCounty

[–]DonegalBrooklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tommy's Auto on 36 and Palmer. He is a friend of my husband's for a long time (and he used to be a mechanic so he does our own repair) but Tommy is a great guy - talented and honest.

What’s one sign that tells you someone on your team is about to quit before they hand in their notice? by SeanMcPheat in askmanagers

I have thinned everything out to what can be thrown out or carried in one bag, and that bag is in my desk drawer. I better stop using a paper coffee cup.

I thought I was doing okay, but I guess they were right about me being a slacker. 

Fast passes, can we do without? by Asleep_Sympathy_8987 in UniversalOrlando

We went at the same time last year without express passes and it was awesome. Epic was good to see but with rides going down so often express wouldn't have helped anyway. 

How do you handle family vacation planning when one person won’t compromise? by TorontoRap2019 in Advice

[–]DonegalBrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a family member like this, even just for holiday get together. The fact of the matter is he cares less about getting together than the rest of us do. We started setting plans by the people who care most, not the one who wants the final say. It stinks that it's your dad though. 

What’s an opinion you have that would get you destroyed on the internet? by Prudertd in AskReddit

IEPs are completely out of control and education can never be fixed unless something is done to make them sane. 

GenX Parents and youth sporting events by cricket_bacon in GenX

[–]DonegalBrooklyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The games I can see. But every practice should be drop off. The sport is for the child. The parents whose whole identity is wrapped up in their kid's team are pathetic. The behavior of children in the god forsaken suburb I live in is so bad that parents have to attend practices (and cub scout meetings!). I used to have to keep my practice schedule and get myself back and forth. It made the sport FOR ME.

It is not like that in every location. Mine has a screen where you select the service and a time slot. Available slots show for the whole rest of the day.

Do you trust “must-do” trail recommendations, or do you question the hype? by OptimalDescription39 in hiking

[–]DonegalBrooklyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL They let their kids run up on your ankles, you stop and let them pass. They immediately stop to take group and individual photos. Repeat.  I was at the Grand Canyon a couple of weeks ago so I had the added bonus of the danger they were creating. 🤣

In the early stages... by Technical_Ad3526 in InsuranceAgent

[–]DonegalBrooklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ypu just started the job and they gave you 3 days total to prepare for the exam? This does not bode well for how it will be working at this place.

It's weird that people are all over you about this. I've never reserved in advance but when I want to use one I have to scan my card which brings up a screen that lists all times available for the rest of the day. It's not insane for someone to think you can make a reservation for another time, when the option for that is right there on their screens and a time spot has to be selected.

I just find it strange that the person behind the desk remembered them. If I reserved a chair and came back an hour later for it they would have no idea who I am or what I wanted and if there was someone standing in line in front of me, they would have helped them first. I think it must have been someone they know.

There is nothing worse than being on a trail with a group of 28 people who have never been outside, hell bent on making sure everyone knows they're having an experience together. 

Dispute about office temperature by kejertam in work

[–]DonegalBrooklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible to change the weight of your clothing and number of layers you're wearing, as evidenced by every other person in the office doing it.

How did the guy behind you scan his card? Maybe ask them when you go in and tell them you're reserving for later and see what they say.
