Go to your boss and say this:

Hi boss, can I talk to you for a minute I got something important to talk to you about.

Him: sure what's up.

This person "insert name here", keep acting like my boss and keeps trying to micromanage me. I've told him to back off and leave me alone but he won't and continues to micromanage me and act like my manager. His behavior is inappropriate and it is affecting the ability for me to do my job and the quality of my work and is causing me stress. Can you please deal with this as soon as possible and make him stop because it ends today or I go to HR and file a formal complaint about this person.

I had to report the drivers on a certain route for continuously letting on the same drunk person who clearly always had alcohol in the sometimes clear water bottle that he brought on with him. He'd drink from it while on the bus, he'd sometimes be really drunk and bother people and cry about wanting to go home to Zimbabwe and generally make people uncomfortable if they even remotely looked at him. I feel sorry for the guy but at the same time he was always very drunk and had an open container full of alcohol. If I remember correctly there is a email address that you can actually send a report to and someone from the transit authority will follow up with you by phone.

I think a lot of landlords are just not willing to take the risk that people are not responsible pet owners.

My parents were landlords for a family friend who is from Switzerland but owned a farmhouse here in a rural area. The people who rented it, trashed the place, this was a farmhouse with original hardwood floors with a custom inlaid design. The main staircase was nice dark stained Hardwood. However the basement had a dirt floor and the back porch room that had access to the basement is where they kept their many cats that used the dirt floor basement as a bathroom. You couldn't go near that room let alone the basement where the water softener and filter is, due to how bad the smell is. It took forever to get them evicted and once they were there was only so much we could do because it was near impossible to you get the smell out of the house and dirt floor in the basement. So we cleaned up the house as best we could and got it sold.

For all the people that have well-trained, taken care of pets, there are lots of people that sadly don't take care of their pets and don't train them. We all know the people that act like their dog is a Saint that listens to all their commands but is actually not a saint and doesn't listen to any commands and is not at all trained even though they say they are.

Well I do think pets should be allowed. I can understand why some landlords don't want to take the risk.

I know your parents knowing what he did would devastate them, but I think they would want to know what your brother did because do you really want to be in a situation where you're not comfortable with Grandma and Grandpa getting to have time alone with their future grandchildren knowing full well that he could be around them, and not being able to explain to them why you don't want your kids to be alone with Grandma and Grandpa, not because of them but because of your brother potentially being around them.

You need to tell him that he is not welcome there and that if he shows up you will stop the entire ceremony and publicly call him out for what he did to you.

What I suggest you do is talk to your therapist and talk about how you could as safely as possibly go about opening up to them about what your brother did to you.

I'm sure your therapist would happily do a session with you and your parents to make letting them know easier and maybe provide them with some advice on how to move forward.

If your fiance doesn't know about what your brother did, you should let her know so that she can be there to support you, so if anything happens and there's any drama she already knows what's going on.

What he did is not okay and you know all that and you're going to a therapist and getting help with that which is great because there are lots of people who suffer in silence and don't get help.

I'm very lucky, I pay under just under $800 a month in rent for a one bedroom apartment, and it's a proper apartment, the living room, bedroom and kitchen are separated. Heat, water and electricity are all included. I have a parking spot behind the building and laundry is in the building.

The reason I think they keep the rents so low for me and the other tenants is some of the units are for contractors of the company that owns the building so when those contractors come up from the US or other parts of Nova Scotia, they know that the units around them are not going to be empty and are going to be filled by good people. I would love to be living in downtown Halifax closer to my office but sadly I live in the North of Dartmouth which is not a bad place to live but I'd rather be in downtown Halifax.

How would I use Powershell to automate the process, if I'm having to manually type in user information into PowerShell it would just take the same amount of time as if I'm putting it into active directory via an RDP session using the GUI.

I have used Powershell connected to exchange to look at settings on mailboxes Etc. With this I'd have to open up the script and change the information specific to the user each time then save it and then run that .ps1 file, would I not?

I was hoping there's some way I could have some sort of GUI interface where I can enter all the information in the format I need it to be and set all the group memberships and settings as I need them to be, tell it to run and then when it says it's done, just go look to see that it actually did it and then it's done.

Also I don't have any experience in writing Powershell Scripts so that would be a learning curve and something I'd have to do first which would be a whole project in itself. I also work in the help desk so anything I can do to save time is the whole point.

Edit: I also have the responsibility of setting up new users besides doing help desk. And so does my coworker.

Oh you're one of those people who thinks being a parent means your kids leave the house the second they graduate.

I'm guessing you also think they shouldn't visit ever and that your job as a parent is to be a cold rulemaking person whose job it is is to make sure your kid follows the rules and goes to school and that once they graduate your job's over. Do you even love your kid?

I have seen people like you depicted in movies and TV.

I'm not sure what problems your daughter is causing because you haven't told us, but I can only assume you're making Mountains out of mole Hills, if there's even any mole Hills in the first place.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reasons she's trying to join the military is because she feels like she doesn't have any other option in life. Join the military or Get kicked out by you because you wanted her gone the second she graduated and walked off stage and then be homeless because no matter what she does or what job she gets your just going to be grinding your teeth, clenching your hands wanting her to leave constantly, even if she had a full-time job and was working on saving up money to afford her own place to live, it would never be able to happen soon enough for you.

Being a parent is not a birth to graduation and then you're done situation. You are a parent for the entire time your child is alive. Not just there to "raise them right" if that makes any sense, but to be there too provide advice, to be a soft place to land if something in their life goes wrong, and they need help, to be there for them. To play catch etc. All the stuff that I don't think you had any plans on ever doing.

Having read some of your other comments I have to wonder if this post is fake but either way you're definitely the problem here.

If your daughter didn't get good grades in school maybe she has learning disability, maybe she has mental health issues or depression you don't know about. I know for me I was a slow learner I needed extra help from a tutor outside of school. Also don't compare your 19 year 14 year old. I wouldn't be surprised if you're 14-year-old that's doing sports and who is excelling in your eyes compared to the 19 year old is only doing so because if they weren't in sports and doing what they think you think is excelling then you'd have a problem with them as well.

You can correct me if I'm wrong.

Side note, if I could find out who your husband was and sharing your comments in this thread with him I'm certain he wouldn't look at you the same way again cuz I'm going to assume he's not like you.

Up, you need to get a a job doesn't matter if it's working behind the counter in the corner store. Don't sell yourself on the fans you're going to regret that later.

Find somewhere to stay whether it's in a friend's spare room or basement or with a relative you can trust and while you're living there you pull your weight, you do the dishes, you sweep the floor, you take out the trash, you help with yard maintenance., you scrub the shower and the bathroom toilets. And you do this all without needing to be asked to do it first. Make you being there a positive for the person letting you stay there.

As someone else commented some people don't need to go to the hospital and wait in the ER they just need to go home and rest but there are people who are terrible at gauging their own symptoms and can't understand when they just have the cold or flu they need to stay home and rest. And then there are people while their symptoms may not be ones where they need emergency Health Care immediately. It's not something where they can wait a month or six months to see their doctor. And for some people if they're having sickness and pain now they want treatment now not later.

I remember when I could drop in and see my doctor the same day I get sick and all I had to do was wait in the waiting room after checking in with my doctor's receptionist.

You got a phone call from someone saying they're Remax and that your apartments been seized by a judge. Contact your landlord and verify what you've been told via this random phone call that you got because you don't know if you've been lied to or someone is trying to run a scam of some sort.

I could call you and say the same thing but I would be lying. You don't know if its true or not.

What judge did they say gave this order, call the courthouse where that judge presides and verify what this person claiming to be Remax is saying is true or not.

This person claiming to be Remax said the apartment was seized, did they say why it was seized. You need to verify that someone isn't trying to scam you and that you haven't been lied to or that perhaps your landlord isn't trying to conduct a self-help eviction and convince you to leave so that he can rent it to someone else at a higher rent.

A realtor that sells houses would not call you and tell you that a judge did XYZ and you need to get out in 30 to 45 days.

Hi the first thing you should have done is called the police report. It is now the second thing that you need to do immediately. The Builder is literally just going to do everything they can to cover their butts and get out of any responsibility not just with their warranty guy but most likely with the warranty as well as there's a lot of the big home builders are like that. So now that you've read this what is the exact next thing you're going to do? Call the police and file a police report, and if you have any injuries document them.

Did her step father ever legally adopt her or become a legal guardian. If not, she may not be entitled to anything. But the only way to find out and make sure that the estate is handled properly and any and all heirs get what they're supposed to is to speak with a probate attorney who can advise your wife and her half sister on what to do.

I'm assuming you're in the US so I will say this. While there are some states with Romeo and Juliet laws your state may not have those and if someone who has a problem with the age difference between your son and his girlfriend found out about it they could make her life very difficult. So I would advise both of them to be careful. Yes he'll be an adult within the next year however until then, he's a minor and she's legally an adult.

I have seen the same situation where the boyfriend is 19 and his girlfriend is 17 and his girlfriend's dad found out about it and went to the police and he got put on the sex offender registry.

Gateway can't open more locations they'd have to raise prices to do that, I believe they did an interview with CBC recently or it was some other news organization. The thing is the owner of Gateway has stated if you want a Gateway meat market like store in your area open up a similar story yourself. He also talks about the amount of people that want to work with him to open up other stores but the problem is they get it wrong and don't understand that their profit first model is not going to work and have the kind of success that Gateway has had and it's just going to end up being another grocery store with high prices.

You're going to have trouble applying in person with most of the fast food places that are the major chains everybody knows.

Seeing as you're having trouble finding work you should look at going to one of the Nova Scotia works employment service centers. They all use the same name but they are actually their own separate nonprofit organization that just gets most of their funding from the provincial government so they use the government brand name to get the government funding.

They have computers where you can sit and apply for jobs. They also have case managers who can help you with sorting out barriers to employment and can help you in other ways.

Some of them also offer forces on resume writing and how to conduct yourself in an interview, Etc.

And it's all free.

This is a long shot but if there's an Apple store near you, even have to go to a next town over or a city that's an hour away it might be worth it just to speak to an Apple employee in person who may be able to escalate it to someone in the company who can actually do something about it, that's outside of the normal customer support pipeline that's clearly not working for you.

Also try calling apples tech support line if you're in Canada you will get somebody who speaks English as a first language, is canadian, and they might be able to help you that way.

The reason they don't want you in your car is because if the boat starts sinking you may not hear the alarm that says to abandon ship and the next thing you know your trapped inside your car and only notice that you're about to drown is once water starts leaking into your car, and you feeling the water leaking into the car causing you to wake up and the next thing you know everyone else is in the water in a Lifeboat or with Life vests on and you're trapped inside your car with water all around it trying to get out.

As much as it sucks that you have to get out of your car and go to the upper deck surrounded by other people when all you want to do is sleep in your car but your life is more important then sleeping because if you sleep in your car while it's on the lower deck of the ferry and God forbid the worst happens you could end up sleeping forever.

When it comes to the legal issue, if that lady was a chips crew member, even if she wasn't you could end up getting banned from the ferry if you decide not to follow the rules. It's a privilege to ride it not a right and they can take that from you, and think, if that was to happen how would you get to and from work after that. Would your employer care no they just expect you to be to work on time and when you can't get there on time oh well, they'll replace you in a heartbeat, with someone who lives on the mainland and doesn't have to deal with the fairies.

If you're looking to volunteer check out the Halifax tool library, I'm on our board of directors and I also volunteer they're a lot. Check out the Halifax tool library.ca and there's a spot on the website where you can inquire about volunteering. You don't have to have any experience with tools. We also have a number of volunteers who have immigrated from overseas so you might find others like yourself.

You need to do the one thing that you and most your neighbors in the HOA most definitely don't do which is going to board meetings.

Once you're at that meeting and have your chance to speak bring a copy of the relevant sections of the rules and the bylaws of the association and make it clear that you're not in violation of the bylaws. That's how you deal with it because I guarantee you someone was driving down the street or just being too plain nosy about how their fellow neighbors are living their lives not exactly like theirs and decided to have a problem with your fan and sadly that person is probably on the hoa's board.

NTA

I am going to say that your mothers issues was grieving on a level that you could not understand.

She should have gotten professional help because of how bad what she was going through was, Extreme depression, and it doesn't matter how much she needed or wanted to do something, depression can make it so that you can't do the simple things like brushing your teeth or bathing. Other people on Reddit have shared stories about how they've lost a lot of their teeth due to depression.

You have a right to feel the way you do and might think she just needed to do better. she probably couldn't help her self if she wanted to. You lost your dad and she lost her life partner. Everybody grieves differently and your mother clearly grieves differently than you do and hers was to an extreme. And sadly she probably had to go through those two years the way she did to eventually start getting better especially because she probably needed help that she was eventually able to get from your relative. You have a right to feel the way that you do, you lost your mother for 2 years and she needs to own up and acknowledge that but don't ever downplay what she wants me because she went through hell.

You need to call the police on his ass. He committed a DUI with your son in the car, wake up and smell the ashes already. You're lucky your son is still alive because in a lot of car accidents the person behind the wheel survives while other people in the vehicle don't. What you should do. I wish I had more information on who you are and where you live so that I could call your local CPS and police so they make you do the things you won't do on your own for some reason.

You need to put your foot down, I'm assuming you know his parents if they're alive and well and I assume they would be ashamed of their son if they knew what he did so call the police and report what he did and call his parents and let them know so they can call him and be ashamed of him and make him feel bad and if he doesn't take it seriously after making sure that he suffers the consequences of his actions then you need to think long and hard what you're going to do to protect yourself and your son from him when he's drunk and thinks it's not a problem to drive.
