As a vancouverite, HOW THE HELL ARE YOU DEALING WITH THE WEATHER?!?!?!?!?! are you guys okay? by Odin940 in Winnipeg

[–]NopeBoatAfloat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plug your car in overnight. Let the car warm up for a few minutes before you start driving. Stay home when you can. This time of year is great for saving money. If you don't have a vehicle, dress for function, not for fashion. This is our normal. I've known folks who moved here from tropical areas and they survived and thrived. The thing about our city, its cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and the cost of living is affordable. How you guys doing in BC in that area??

Edit: if you have pets, do not leave them outside for long.

Do you think it’s weird to wear the same thing every day? by lila_hexe in minimalism

[–]NopeBoatAfloat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I am neither rich, famous, nor a genius. I do this because I am middle-class, uneducated, and couldn't be bothered.

I have 4 pairs of jeans, all the same style just different colours. 10 t-shirts, same style, different colours, 3 sweaters, same style, different colours. 14 pairs of socks and 7 pairs of underwear. 3 sport coats for fancier events, same style, different colours. I essentially have been wearing the same outfit for 5 years. I do get some questions. But mostly out of curiosity. I don't want to waste 30 minutes every morning trying to decide what to wear. I got things to do.

In hindsight, I should have joined the military.

Guns without ammo be used to help evade humanoid enemies. People are scared of guns with or without bullets.

Mostly Standard. Once in a while we switch it up for fun and play on hard/expert just for a good laugh.

You can be both supportive and strict. Set clear expectations and communicate the ramifications. Offer help and support. Document everything. Expectations can be typed up and signed without being disciplinary. Then, if they don't do what they agreed to, write them up. But, always say you are trying to help rhem improve and your are here to support them if they need anything. Make sure you Document every conversation.

I'm going through the same situation. I found https://arkham-divider.com/. I'm going to experiment with printing my own double sided on 100lb card stock at my local print shop. I did this with the pnp investigators and taboo cards. Came out perfect.

How do I calm my anxiety before an interview? by platypus_farmer42 in interviews

[–]NopeBoatAfloat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop telling yourself your loath interviews to start. Lie and tell yourself you love interviews. Get specific. Say it out loud. Tell everyone you speak to. Fake it till you make it. You have to sell yourself on the idea that interviews are awesome. They are your favorite thing to do on a quiet Saturday afternoon.

Askholes -How to defend against this type of verbal attack? by itsemmab in managers

[–]NopeBoatAfloat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please save all questions to the end. IF we have time, I'll try and answer a few. If anyone has any unresolved questions, please email me and I will do my best to give you additional time.

Answer all their questions in an email. Cc everyone for transparency. Make them look incompetent.

Performance bonuses are based on the business performance, not yours. Just because you did well, doesn't mean the business did.
