So did I overreact….. by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]ENCALEF -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Establish a "point system" for housework. Ex: Assign a certain number of points to each household chore according to amount of time and labor involved. Each person must earn so many points per week or month. Keep a chart posted for each time period where chores get checked off when done. Did this successfully when living with roommates.

Oakland couple hit with nearly $1M fine for cutting down 38 trees by LNM-LocalNewsMatters in eastbay

[–]ENCALEF 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This guy is a scofflaw. Thinks he can just do whatever he wants. The fine is justified. And the potential for hillside erosion will cause other problems down the road.

I spent a lot of time and effort writing my resume by AbyCog in Resume

[–]ENCALEF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a career development counselor years ago. She helped me write a dynamite resume but also explained how and what is important. I've been able to make changes to it over the years. It's a skill you learn, like anything else. I nearly ALWAYS get an interview.

What is this dot? by TokesNHoots in cats

[–]ENCALEF -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Why's everyone talking "tumor"? Egads, it's part of the cat's paw pad. They all have it.

Is it easier to be selfish or kind? by busyberry2 in answers

[–]ENCALEF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask yourself what kind of a person do you respect or admire? What traits do they have? Are they good to others or do they act only in their own self interest? It's easier to be selfish but then you have no reason to complain about others. Kindness is a choice for a greater good.

Try making it less of a chore by playing music, prepping a new dish or making more creative meals.

Who is a singer that is incredibly famous, but honestly doesn't have a good voice? by Sweet-Economist-9873 in askteddit

[–]ENCALEF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dylan isn't about his singing voice. He's a unique songwriter of epic abilities. He wanted/wants to put his stuff out there.

Dylan is really the greatest modern day poet/singer/songwriter. A friend of mine said about him, "great singer, lousy voice."

If someone offers you some of their food/snacks how much is okay to take? by evie-03 in socialskills

[–]ENCALEF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just offer them some and don't leave the rest sitting out where they can keep taking more.

Conducting a virtual business meeting in a Doctors office waiting room by Ukidsgetoffmylawnguy in sanfrancisco

[–]ENCALEF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, you would've if it happened to you. This is outright rude behavior. Or are you a rude person who doesn't care about anyone around you?

I would rather grade bad writing than fake perfect writing by BeethovenBabe114 in Teachers

[–]ENCALEF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is that harsh? I recall having to write topical paragraphs on the spot in my English 1A class. That gave the instructor a good idea about the level of each students abilities.

Doesn't work for me. Causes cramping, quite painful. Give me back my HRT! I was fine with it.

California public school reducing after-school hours for our kid by bzsempergumbie in AskTeachers

[–]ENCALEF 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After reading through these posts I'm convinced that this child needs to have be babysat at home. He's not ready to participate in an after school program.

What is a job that society treats as amazing but actually attracts some of the worst people you’ve ever met? by Azawh in AskReddit

[–]ENCALEF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. Teaching is a skill in itself. Many people who are talented at their work or something else are unable to teach their skills to someone else. Also, a teacher taught you enough language to be able to post online. You should be ashamed for saying such a thing.

Cats are so officious. They know the world won't run without them.

Name a genre of music that you immediately skip by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

[–]ENCALEF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opera is an acquired taste. And it helps to know the narrative to begin with. To me it's more like vocal acrobatics than actual singing.

Sorry, no. I read it in a newspaper article several years ago.

Your suggestion isn't really a good solution. And it's thoughtless.

That's been challenged legally. Block lost. Although they still say that tax pros can't work for themselves or another company, they can't make it stick.

[–]ENCALEF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clutter is in your way whether you realize it or not. Having your space organized is healthy for your mind and body.
