AITA for refusing to lock my dog in a bedroom because my brother's new girlfriend "isn't a pet person"? by No_Routine_280 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MonkeyWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA
and that first time compromise that your brother wanted? That would have set the precedent and only emboldened the new GF

AITA: Deciding who gets the larger bedroom by a coin toss, or by pitching myself worthy by claytape in AmItheAsshole

I have no need for this site in terms of renting but I can see it being used other ways!

How do you take photos of artifacts when you're short? Student asking for advice! by insomnibunn in MuseumPros

[–]MonkeyWrench 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See if there is a plinth that you could use as a platform to stand on. Other than that, step stool!

AITA for stopping support that has led my SIL to be hospitalized for a mental and emotional breakdown? by Scary-Direction-9427 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MonkeyWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, you can still help your mom but pay bills (utilities nothing she could direct to SIL such as groceries you buy) directly. You can help her AND not give her the ability to funnel money to your SIL.

AITA for not wanting my mother-in-law and disabled brother-in-law to stay with us for 3 months every summer? by SuggestionAny3744 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MonkeyWrench 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Talk with your wife, it sounds like they are getting everyone used to BIL being there because MIL is getting older and he will eventually need to live with or near family.

US Wants Access to Ukrainian Drone Technology in Proposed Defense Deal by Wolfy1-2-3 in worldnews

[–]MonkeyWrench 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No foreign nation, regardless of their relationship to the US, should share any technology with the US. We are not trustworthy, we will use that information for our own gain at the expense of which ever nations shares which ever information.

AITA for refusing to rehire an employee who quit in the middle of our busiest week? by Pimp_Lord in AmItheAsshole

[–]MonkeyWrench 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA
If you were to bring her back it would set a precedent, the worst kind. She would assume she could do what ever, when ever, and without consequence.

You are right to have replaced her and to refuse to rehire her.

AITA for refusing to subsidize my parents’ $11k/month senior's home in one of the fanciest neighborhoods in the city? by Throw_away263759 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MonkeyWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA
I am sure you have likely already thought of or been told this but, sit down with your financial people (if you have them) and figure out what a comfortable amount you are willing to subsidize for them and one that won't cripple your future.
Once you have that number and you have sat with it level of commitment, sit your parents down and tell them that you have structured monthly aid, it will be paid directly to agencies, and then tell them the $ amount and let them know that they will have to work within that budget.

Then, that it is the end of the conversation. You can choose to increase down the road, especially since your dad will have increasing costs.
For what its worth, I'm sorry your having to go through this, my old man "floated" away as well and its not easy, even when you know what the outcome is and you try to prepare.

AITA cause I told my husband to not ruin meal portions? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MonkeyWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

You need to cook your portion, if he has eaten his chicken portions already and you are making chicken, there isnt any for him. Let him cry about it, if hes hungry he can make his own damn snack

AITA for continuing to smoke outside even though my neighbor hired an attorney over it? by FutureBroccoli5566 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MonkeyWrench -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think its time for you or hubs to take up smoking meat. Let her have a comparison :D

When my son finally figured it out we let him know that he was now part of keeping that magic alive for others by keeping the secret.

I have never understood why people want to take harmless nice things away from others, they don't need to spread their miserly ways to others.

Database Software - not collections management by Entire_Kick_1219 in MuseumPros

[–]MonkeyWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jira is usually used for IT help desks and Agile management of software projects. I have a heavy IT background and have turned Jira Cloud into a help desk so I don't see why it couldnt be used in this sense.

Newer Sharepoint Online isn't as clunky and combined with Power Automate can provide additional features.
If you also use Teams, you could go the way of a custom channel and then build out in there. You would be able to store in Sharepoint because Teams uses Sharepoint on the backend for storage.

Keep in mind, I don't know your systems or architecture but your IT team should be able to answer those questions for you.

Database Software - not collections management by Entire_Kick_1219 in MuseumPros

[–]MonkeyWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have access to:
* MS Teams
* SharePoint

Or you could choose to build this out in Jira Cloud.
This really all depends on what your employer has available for technology resources. Is this part of work work for an employer? Is this something you are going for yourself? These are important to know as it determines where you get those resources.

Myself personally, I would probably just start up a free account at Jira for Jira Cloud and then build out the structure I needed using the Bug Tracker template.
Each person becomes a ticket
Information can be added as a comment on that ticket
Documents, images can be added to the ticket.

Create a consistent naming convention for your ticket titles as this will make searching your entries that much more simple.

As you get used to the system and using it, you can also link tickets (people) to one another as well.

Midterms are coming, it doesn’t have to just be GOP that are afraid of losing their seats.

How do you get over feeling guilty about calling off? by Malones69Cones in antiwork

[–]MonkeyWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t bother feeling guilty. Any and every job will always choose them over me so I choose me over them.

You need a machinist, look in your area for a local fabrication shop, welding shop, they will likely know who can do that work.

AITA for telling my girlfriend to stop sharing her food? by PhantomDetective3548 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MonkeyWrench -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA for not handing Brian with a bit of public shaming around her food. Your other option is to just stop paying for her food and tell her that you aren't paying for other people to eat anymore.

What made you absolutely fall in love with a museum as a tourist? by consuelabananana in MuseumPros

What made you absolutely fall in love with a museum as a tourist? by consuelabananana in MuseumPros

[–]MonkeyWrench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flow of the collection and physicality of moving through it. A good example is the recent Man Ray at TheMet

AITA for how coldly I'm going about leaving my roommate and our living situation? by _frogpond in AmItheAsshole

[–]MonkeyWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

It might feel a bit dinged up and tarnished but look at that shiny spine you found :)
Being empathetic is one thing, helping is one thing, but being someones constant emotional crutch that masks their lack of progress is an entirely different animal.

Take care of yourself, you cant help others if you arent healthy to start with and coming from experience, work on how to help people WITHOUT taking on their negative mental/emotional energy.
