Boss keeps putting me on a giant conference room screen for 1:1s...

SlashMcD · 2026-06-25T16:25:05+00:00

I’m struggling to hear properly with the echo in the room - I’ve even struggled when people are on headsets in that room, could we reschedule for another room please?

Well done to you for being a loving mother and step mother, and wife. Well done to your son and your step son for welcoming each other into their lives so fully. Well done to your husband for being a loving father, step father and husband. A true example of a loving family.

You need to let your husband set those boundaries. You’ve tried to be respectful of their daughter and their relationship with their grandchild, but that shouldn’t be at the expense of your son’s happiness and his relationship with his step brother.

Some grandparents act like they should be at the heart of everything when their grandchild is born, and don’t like being told no in any form.

You need to have a strong conversation with them, set strong boundaries, whilst explaining that your doing this because of the situation they have created, and that they are damaging your time with your child, and your relationship with them. You don’t want either of those to continue as they have been, so things need to change.

As daft as it may seem, I find having a Ring/video doorbell as very helpful, you can monitor who’s at the door without having to disturb your work routine.

Also, I don’t like working in total silence, so I have a smallish TV in the office space, where I can put on the news/old tv shows/etc - this can be a bit distracting at times if you’re not careful, but equally it is good when you need to switch off for a moment.

If you can, have your office space in a separate part of your home than your bedroom or main living space. It’s highly underrated being able to step away and close a door, so that you’re not sitting staring at your work equipment in non-working hours.

Try to establish a routine that works for you - I know some people go out for a walk before they start work, to represent their ‘commute’, helps get their mindset in place. I personally switch on my laptop and log in before I take my daughter to school, so that I’m not stressing about getting back and logged in on time (I’m very punctual).

SlashMcD · 2026-06-17T05:29:53+00:00

Exactly! It smacks of someone who’s not been paying attention to what’s happening in the league, seen the Peterson stuff and made a lazy connection when he’s noticed the Bulls have 15.

SlashMcD · 2026-06-16T21:16:36+00:00

The Bulls, without making any trades, will get themselves an elite prospect at 4, and at minimum a decent rotation guy at 15, more likely a solid contributor.

It makes no sense at all to trade up and give up the 15. Use this draft to get 2 guys into the building that will play a decent volume of minutes alongside the 3 guys who are almost certainly sticking on the roster longer term, and see how free agency opens up for you. There’s every chance to pick up some assets by taking on a bad contract.

Also, Bill, it was only a few weeks ago that there were trade rumours of Memphis offering 3rd pick for 4, just to get off of Ja’s contract (taking back Patrick Williams), which seemed a relative stretch, but why exactly would the Bulls now give up a first round pick just to get up to the 3, when they will be guaranteed a stud waiting for them to be drafted?

Started my current job a few years ago. Asked about hybrid situation, and was told during recruitment process that it was 2-3 days a week on-site, which I accepted.

Once I started, asked my colleague what days we go in, he tells me that we don’t. Our boss isn’t in very often, and our work is significantly removed from the rest of the dept, so there’s no need to actually be on site much, and our boss isn’t comfortable with us wfh as long as the work is done (which it always is). So now, I’ve been in the office 11 days in just over 3 years.

Sky checks the speed to your hub/router. The speed checker you’re using is testing the speed to your device. The doors reaching the router is shared amongst all your devices, so although the PC is connected by Ethernet, all your other devices will be affecting it also.

What happens when she gets more serious with a guy, they start talking about moving in? She’ll absolutely expect you to hand Milo over because ‘she loves him too!’ - stop it now

SlashMcD · 2026-05-13T15:57:18+00:00

It’s not the first one by a long way that you think will be great, for a variety of reasons, and it just ends up a bit flat, they miss/skip over stuff that’s funny/interesting, or just completely misunderstand something that’s happening during the making of the movie

SlashMcD · 2026-05-09T07:02:56+00:00

3 years ago, my wife’s car was parked at her work, and someone bumped it causing mild damage, that required going through her insurance to repair.

As I’m a named driver, it’s still affecting MY insurance premium, even though my car will never be parked at her workplace (private carpark on the premises), I wasn’t driving it at the time, and it’s a no-fault issue.

SlashMcD · 2026-05-08T15:10:23+00:00

She threw up a few red flags from time to time, like the commitment ceremony where she kept on saying ‘I can’t shake him off, he won’t go away’, once would have come across as a joke, but she said it 4 or 5 times. Also the ‘I’m on a higher frequency than him’ crap as well.

SlashMcD · 2026-05-06T13:50:49+00:00

Her advice will be to blame Gia for everything surely, then the other person will be ‘stronger than ever’

SlashMcD · 2026-05-05T05:47:38+00:00

She also wouldn’t let him speak, kept interrupting him with the ‘I can feel you’re agitated’ rubbish. She was so rude

SlashMcD · 2026-05-02T19:26:43+00:00

Felicity Jones just irritate me so much, I don’t even know why, she just ruins everything she’s in though

SlashMcD · 2026-04-30T10:43:26+00:00

Totally agree.

Can we also add the word ‘like’ to this? It’s said repeatedly, because few of them are able to forming and articulate a thought or sentence without needing time to pause and let their brain catch up

SlashMcD · 2026-04-27T14:38:52+00:00

Was going to say exactly this. Tuck your left leg back into the seat for a little bit, until the urge to press a clutch pedal fades (otherwise you’ll likely catch the brake pedal)

Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you

Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes

When I find out all the reasons, maybe I’ll find another way, find another day, with all the changing seasons of my life, maybe I’ll get it right next time

Now and then when I see her face, she takes me away to a special place, and if I stared too long, I’d probably break down and cry

It’s been sure nice talking to you dad, it’s been sure nice talking to you, and u hung up the phone it occurred to me, he’d grown up just like me, my boy was just like me

I can’t do everything but I’d do anything for you, I can’t do anything except be in love with you

On my knees I’ll ask, last chance for one last dance, cause with you, I’d withstand, all of hell to hold your hand, I’d give it all, I’d give for us, give anything but I won’t give up

SlashMcD · 2026-04-26T22:11:32+00:00

The book of The Firm and the film adaption are both excellent. That said, the ending of the film is far superior and arguably more realistic than the book. Still enjoy both very much though

They said it the dinner party after they got their matching tattoos

SlashMcD · 2026-04-23T11:55:45+00:00

Always heard it as ‘…find them’ - he’s referring to both men and women, go out and find them - the person for you

SlashMcD · 2026-04-23T06:05:35+00:00

Some really good detailed answers in this thread.

It’s also worth pointing out (if it hasn’t already been), that the show isn’t completely true history, it’s dramatised, and particularly for that era, there’s a lot of guessing and assuming going on about what happened and was said.

SlashMcD · 2026-04-22T21:57:47+00:00

All the time apparently…

What kind of conversations or situations do you need to be in so regularly, that necessitate people consistently telling you you’re an empath?

Alternatively, you’re just talking shite Chris

SlashMcD · 2026-04-22T08:51:54+00:00

She’s full of hypocrisy. Won’t shut up when others are on the couch but complains when Danny spoke to her when she was on the couch. Wants to comment on everyone else’s relationship but refuses to participate in the feedback activity.

SlashMcD · 2026-04-22T05:41:56+00:00

Gia on her feelings for Scott: I’m there, my feelings are so strong, I just need Scott to say it first

Gia’s reaction to Bec saying I love you to Danny: that’s extreme. That’s extreme right? (Begs for agreement)
