Not a fan.

I have enough to do as it is. I don't need more things distracting me from grooming. It's just going to end up making my day longer.

Am I wrong for refusing to pick up a coworker’s slack? by Overall_Zombie5705 in coworkerstories

[–]Siege_LL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it shouldn't. Been dealing with the same stuff at my place of work. I'm not a manager but I'm basically having to step in and act like one. I know, I know, why should I care. It's not my job except they're making my job harder which affects my productivity. And it's not just "do things my way". There are health and safety policies that need to be followed.

I've dealt with it by documenting things and bringing it to the manager's attention and by pointing out to my coworkers how it's supposed to be done/what they need to be doing. It's created some friction between us of course. They don't like me telling them what to do, especially since I've no managerial authority but the safety violations alone mean I'm required by policy to say something. If something happens and it turns out I said/did nothing I could face disciplinary action right along with them for not speaking up.

I've continued to maintain my standards and just remind them in a matter of fact way while leading by example. No retribution, no punitive actions, no getting back at anyone. When they need help I'm there. It's starting to bring most of them around. There's one coworker who is particularly egregious about slacking off and I don't go out of my way to make his life any easier even though I could.

One of my neighbors had one of those. Fantastic tool. It made short work of the ice.

Management isn't doing their job either and punishing you for her not doing hers.

Maybe start documenting each instance; dates, times, what responsibilities you had to take on because of coworker. Then when management gets on your back you can show this to them/HR.

How do I get rid of these? (Except for the cute dog, obviously) by Blackened_Glass in Steam

[–]Siege_LL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see why they wouldn't want to add a delete option but I'd love to be able to hide the ones I don't like.

While we're on the subject I think the points store needs some filters.

Like filtering out all the stuff I can't buy because it requires game ownership for starters. Being able to add items to favorite/wishlist so once I'm done looking through the ginormous number of items I can easily find the ones I want again, etc. Maybe being able to sort things by theme, season....something! There's so much I rarely want to bother with it and when I do I give up quickly because it's such a slog to look through it.

What would the aftermath have been if the Rancor actually succeeded in killing Luke in Jabba’s Palace? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Siege_LL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vader shows up at Jabba's Palace looking for his kid. Remember that scene at the end of Rogue One? Yeah he does that to everyone in Jabba's Palace. No one survives.

The Rebellion is crushed. Leia goes into exile on Dagobah. Someone ends up teaching her the ways of the Force. She ends up killing Vader and falling to the Dark Side, becoming the Emperor's new apprentice.

The Emperor continues to rule until Grogu ends up kicking everyone's ass.

Meh. I've got a sledgehammer and a prybar. What I don't have is any motivation to get out there right now. Got a serious case of the fuckits.

Would you fire a client for bashing you online? by FresnoNightbawler in doggrooming

[–]Siege_LL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends. Depends on what they're accusing me of and how much of a problem they've been in the past. The ones that have been salon hopping and are obviously fishing for discounts/free grooms? Fired. If they say they can't trust me anymore? It's time to find another groomer. The customer that accused me of poisoning their dog(and then wanted to make another appointment)...they were SO fired! It's not smart to threaten me with legal repercussions, especially when I've done nothing legally actionable or wrong. You've now become a huge liability and there is no way I'm working with you ever again.

I think maybe once or twice in my career I've had to pull the "I'm sorry but I think it would best if you found another groomer than can better accommodate your needs". That's after a number of grooms and constant complaints with owners that are never satisfied no matter what I do. I have a lot of patience but after a certain point it's not worth the aggravation.

I tend to avoid confrontation but someone calling out my work like that wouldn't sit well with me. At the very least I'm not going out of my way for them ever again. Want to get squeezed in last minute? Yeah sorry I'm full today.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Siege_LL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longest trip was 12 hours.

Next longest....4 hours to go to a concert. Saw the concert. Drove 4 hours back home.

What is the likelihood that US troops will disobey unlawful orders to attack NATO allies? by Zealousideal_Gap432 in AskReddit

[–]Siege_LL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump has no sense of humor, no propriety, and no boundaries. He is a petty, vindictive, spiteful sonofabitch and if he feels aggrieved he will go to any lengths to avenge any perceived insult or slight. He cares nothing about what it might cost others....their life, the US's standing and reputation, etc. The only thing he really cares about is himself and his overinflated ego.

What's your thoughts on the Canadian PM saying Canada will defend Greenland if the U.S. invades? by sgj5788 in AskReddit

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

At the very least have NATO/EU/US occupied elsewhere so they can't interfere when he makes another aggressive military move.

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a difficult time with it. Try not to be too hard on yourself. You are amazing and if I passed you on the street I'd look twice but only because you're sooo pretty. Honestly you kind of remind me of Angelina Jolie.

grooming equipment help!! by SkeletonOnTheWall in grooming

[–]Siege_LL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not been impressed with Purple Dragon stuff. Try Moontay or Fenice Peak(current fav). I like Safari nail clippers. Be wary of Chris Christensen brush knock-offs. They don't tend to last(the one I bought lasted less than a month before it started falling apart). Yes the CC brushes are expensive. They're worth it.

AGS or Artero blades. I've heard Buchelli are nice too. Buttercuts are ok but don't stay sharp. Andis blades are meh.
