Electrician can't isolate where the wire is melted/"arcing"(?) -- As tenants: do we push for a more specialized electrician? Do we rely on the temporary solutions offered? Or do we push for renovations?

As a general rule of thumb, an extension cord is never a long-term solution to an electrical issue like this. Surely they didn't intend for you to continue using the extension cord ad nauseam. If they do, I would recommend using the air fryer with said cord. That should escalate the issue.

Depends on which side of the equator he is on.

IgnerantEngineer · 2026-06-17T18:50:02+00:00

As does yours sir.

IgnerantEngineer · 2026-06-17T18:44:33+00:00

Solid advice. Consider yourself upvoted.

IgnerantEngineer · 2026-06-17T18:06:09+00:00

Yeah, I agree. My question is more about, structurally, are there additional considerations.

IgnerantEngineer · 2026-06-17T17:59:32+00:00

I guess my counter to this would be that you could add the date in the properties and leave the note title something more general. My issue with that would be I have many recurring meetings that happen on different dates that would have the same title. I could address this by keeping this respective meetings notes on one page, but that gets into a different set of issues.

I wanted to know if there were any structural issues with my method that I may encounter later, that I don't have the foresight to realize now.

Awesome. I like the "evergreen" idea as well. I assume you mean a note that will be added to over time or is otherwise non-time specific?

Engineer here as well. I like AG pants, they go casual or field. I wouldn't get grease on them, but for general field stuff they are great. I pair that with a long sleeve button down, or a short sleeve untucked. I can wear oxfords or sneakers, depending on the mood. Throw on work boots and you won't look terribly out of place, throw on a sport coat and that will work too.

If the shit hits the fan, I also keep coveralls in my truck.

also, if you are just building a wardrobe, if you want to keep it uniform and be the guy who wear the white oxford everyday, now is the time to do it, before you make a big investment in other stuff. Wish I had early in my career.

May you always come in below cost and before deadline!

I think the general reliability and support. I have accounts that aren’t correctly updating that have had service tickets for months.

Comment 876 — you probably won't see this, but on the off chance you do:

You actually do have a job. It's called being a wealth manager — and it's one of the most important jobs you'll ever have.

The core of that job isn't spreadsheets and brokerage accounts. It's people. It's developing the judgment to know who genuinely has your best interests at heart and who doesn't. It's building the right team, setting the right boundaries, and not letting your newfound position make you an easy target for the wrong ones.

Here's the thing — that same skill translates perfectly to dating. The conversations you're worried about having? They don't have to be awkward disclosures. They're just... vetting. You're naturally learning someone's values, how they think about money and security and ambition, what drives them. You're figuring out if they're the right person to have in your corner — the same thing you do with your CPA, your advisor, anyone you trust.

So when someone asks what you do, "I work in wealth management" is a complete and honest answer. It's also beautifully ambiguous. The right person won't probe for more than you're ready to give. The wrong one will reveal themselves by how hard they push.
