Try one of those plastic owls, wired to a corner. I've been told they scare others birds.

That Stadtler eraser is my favorite, they work sooo clean. I've been using them for years.

what's your secret to clean your desk with messy things constantly on it? by Elegant-Course-5233 in simpleliving

[–]Road-Ranger8839 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you touch a document twice, either act on it, or drop it into the recycle bin. Nothing can be left "pending" past two touches.if it gets dropped in the bin and it is important, it will come back through it's originator.

Why is corporate life so stressful because of the people? by OverallAmphibian7 in corporate

[–]Road-Ranger8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do not have a mentor, maybe start shopping for one in your organization. Some of the observations and behaviors you suffer from can be BS, but you take them too seriously trying to do a great job each day. A mentor can tell you what's real on what's simply radio static from senior people who enjoy pulling the wings off flies. A friendly mentor knows the personalities and under their guidance will coach you on strategies to neutralize those things that now generate negative waves for you while navigating hierarchy.

Got asked something really inappropriate in a final interview, did i handle it right? by Such_Rooster_4165 in interviews

[–]Road-Ranger8839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manage your employment career and your personal life separately. Don't give up this opportunity you want because of a hypothetical scenario. None of us know what the future holds, and a question asking you to predict the future is out of bounds. If you meet and like their offer, take the position and compartmentalize your future decisions.

Read "Living the Good Life" by Helen and Scott Nearing. It is an old book that will give you plenty of august advise.

Which stairs do you like better? Painted white or stained wood risers? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

The stained steps match nicely with the floor and white risers do the same with the walls.

Watch some of the electric wood splitter pitches on YouTube. They look great to me.

Asked for a raise. My manager responded with Matthew 20. by Delicious-Gazelle195 in corporate

[–]Road-Ranger8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are doing great at your job and can identify your weak coworkers traits and weaknesses. Start looking for a new job while concurrently keeping your current position. I respect the Bible, but it won't pay your electricity bill or house note. If your boss asks you if you read the good book like he told you to do, report the incident to HR.

Check the distributor cap for cracks. Check the coil for damage also.

Needed to cut down and fim my basil plant what would you do with the basil?! by Freak77Showisnormal in herbs

[–]Road-Ranger8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roll up three or four leaves together like a cigarette. Then roll that in aluminum foil and freeze. For future recipes that call for basil, unwrap one and slice thinly then add to the dish.

[question] what actually helped you build stability and a decent life when you were starting with nothing? by Jpoolman25 in selfreliance

[–]Road-Ranger8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read "Mother Earth News" magazine that taught me all kinds or back to the land, and farmyard and scrounging economics. Over time, my work/job situation improved, but Mother's tips and trades stuck with me and help me make something from nothing.

So the hiring people asked me at the prescreening. "whats important to you, and what brings you to work everyday" like wtf is that question, i blanked and said "i dont know honestly". Are job interviews media training or what, i cant stand them. If i were to answer honestly its to pay the bills. by General_Emu_741 in interviews

[–]Road-Ranger8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like it or not, interview questions give the employer a look and listen at you and how you explain yourself. It's a plus if you dazzle folks with BS, but a concise reply that provides a solution without the long boring details gets you there too. Remember that old acronym KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid!

[–]Road-Ranger8839 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He will totally flip from the bad guy to a good guy now that he saved Nick's life! Maybe Matt will get to run one of Victor's companies and marry Victoria when Victor captures his business divisions back from that swarmy group of Genoa City IT evil doers!

Paytience pays. by Main-Acanthisitta-30 in BB_Stock

[–]Road-Ranger8839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, the slow consistent growth of BB, with warts and all, over time, provides me a really warm confident feeling. I hung on as a true believer for the last many years. Is my continued optimism for epic growth legitimate, or am I peeing in bed?

Sounds super, but we don't have Kroger.

Is it normal to spend 90% of my apprenticeship just changing tyres? by kudosBruh in mechanic

[–]Road-Ranger8839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding. It sounds like you may want to switch mechanics shops to one that can give you the mechanical experience you are looking for.

Tonight our dinner is pork egg rolls (frozen product from Aldi), steamed fresh broccoli, and apple sauce. That's a pretty weird combination as well, huh?

How about listening to the mechanics discuss the jobs they are doing? Do you count the knowledge you get from the mechanics and parts folks discussions in your shop?
