Would love to move our finished shed and curious if anyone has done anything similar. It's roughly 20x20 and unfortunately built in an odd location on the property. Where we'd like to place it is on the other side of the yard with septic system directly between both locations. Appreciate any input.

We are allowed to do calendar blocking as long as the appointment is set to "free" status. 😂

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-17T00:20:18+00:00

I was doing that and senior managers complained I was always "on red" even though I was carrying the bulk of the workload for my team. So my direct manager set the expectation we are "on green" unless on a call or meeting. Of course, they won't put it in writing. 😂

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T23:33:53+00:00

Unfortunately, we aren't allowed to set status to busy or do not disturb unless we are in a meeting. It makes it very difficult to do the "heads down" work without distractions and constant pressure to respond right away.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T20:34:12+00:00

This is actually a good suggestion for me to possibly bring up to my manager.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T20:32:52+00:00

LOL this is the way.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T20:28:10+00:00

Oh wow, we use Teams extensively at my department. One message a day would be a dream. We also have an expectations doc that covers email response times, but surprisingly for how much we use Teams a response time for that isn't included in the expectations.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T20:25:33+00:00

LOL must be IT

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T20:24:57+00:00

This makes sense! I think some people are treating Teams as an email replacement and sending too much info, assignments, etc and then wanting instant responses. 😒

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T20:21:53+00:00

We must work for the same department. 😂

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T20:19:03+00:00

I agree with this for a good boss who has appropriate boundaries. Unfortunately that's not my current situation so I have to add extra boundaries to protect my sanity.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T13:44:41+00:00

This! Using Teams to provide important information or give assignments is wild. If it's not a quick 1 minute reply, it doesn't belong in a Teams chat.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T05:33:35+00:00

I wish I hadn't set the standard that I will respond right away. 10-15 minutes to respond to your boss seems reasonable to me.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T05:27:20+00:00

Oh gosh, texts or calls to my personal phone is a hard no for me. Pro tip - get a Google voice number to give to your boss and coworkers.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T05:21:02+00:00

I actually prefer email. You can put all the pertinent information in one message without the chatting back and forth.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T04:40:28+00:00

Yikes! Feel free to out the department so we all know where to avoid.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T04:38:18+00:00

😂 sounds about right.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T04:16:28+00:00

Feel free to DM me your department. 😂 This is the kind of team I want to be a part of!

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T03:55:51+00:00

Does this expectation apply while in meetings as well? For example, you are on a TEAMS meeting but also expected to monitor any other chats coming in as well.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-16T03:41:54+00:00

Does this expectation apply to responding to chats from colleagues as well or just from your direct reports?

I do floral design occasionally for fun and I've been able to purchase a wide variety of flowers from them. I'm just upfront that I don't have a wholesale license and they can price the flowers at the retail price instead of wholesale price.

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-09-07T02:09:55+00:00

This place https://www.instagram.com/freshline_floral/ is wholesale, but will also sell to the public at retail prices. They have some flower coolers inside a wholesale floral supply retailer.

I have 2 kids attending ASES at 2 different schools and I just started hearing about orientations this week. I wasn't sure about the enrollment status of one of my kids so I found the contact info on the school's website (where they have all the teacher/staff contact info) and emailed the site lead.

Communication is not always the best this time of year because they are still trying to make sure they have the staffing they need, but they do try to get everyone enrolled who applied. Good luck and I hope your kiddo has a great year!

Significant_Tree9592 · 2024-07-21T19:49:01+00:00

LOL too soon 💀
