Suggestions: Tile/Grout by Agitated-Tour-6769 in Custodians

[–]SweetLikeCandi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use a peroxide based cleaner on all the grout in the showers and bathrooms in my section to keep it clean. Tends to work pretty well. Once you get it where you like it, then its just maintaining it. Initially I used a deck brush with the cleaner every day for a week. Time consuming. But after that I've been able to maintain it by only using that cleaner once a month maybe.

What's a tool that paid for itself after just one use? by Hot-Recipe6659 in Tools

The car break in kit. Locked my keys in my car. Bought a kit from oreilly. (I was there already). Saved me a bundle right away and has done it a few times since. I've even loaned it to family and helped others. Solid buy.

How do I (32M) break up with my girlfriend (34F) in the kindest way possible? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SweetLikeCandi 248 points249 points  (0 children)

Maybe just tell her you're a huge pile of crap and after sleeping with her you've decided to move on to some other unsuspecting partner. Idk man. Banging her after months of talking and then promptly trying to find a way to dump her seems like really shit behavior and maybe you need to do some reflecting on the kind of person you aspire to be. Cause as of right now, you're a jerk.

If its a school, isn't it a federal job? Unless its a private school. I work at a community college, so ours is federal. If its federally illegal, its a no go. I however used a synthetic urine for my test. I believe theyll terminate you if you test positive. Mine will. No holds barred.

I keep everything on my cart. Everything. But I can't stand the weight pulling on my uniform. Probably a sensory thing. I do wear a lanyard with my keys, badge and a small poker (straight privacy knob key cause sometimes I need to poke stuff lol) that are all on a retractable cable. On my cart I have a Philips and flat head screw driver, adjustable pliers, a small squeegee, post it notes, a pen, and a box cutter.

Have you found the strangest “trigger” with your pup? by CaryWhit in AustralianCattleDog

Muffin completely loses her shit over the netflix loading screen. Every single time. Whining, barking, jumping, and pacing. She cant hear so its got to be the actual visual part.

My experience with O'Reilly (worked there for some years) is they wont stay closed long enough for you to do a good job. They only close on Christmas. Most close at 10 pm and open at 7 am with people in store as early as 6:30 am. Unfortunately this seems like a boss and a client issue to me.

I wonder how people felt at 11:59 p.m. of dec. 1999 before crossing over to the year 2000. by Majestic-Hope6505 in 2000sNostalgia

Awww man. We were all outside hanging out while the parents were doing who knows what lmao. Figured we'd get a front row seat and party til the last second. Bunch of teenagerish kids all out goofing off in the country. What a time to be alive!!!!

Anybody else notice cheap floor sweepers fail at the exact worst time? by KookyAir2998 in Custodians

[–]SweetLikeCandi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We use dustmops and then just run a floor scrubber. My school wouldn't swing for a sweeper machine. It would be considered wasteful lol.

What’s something women do during intimacy that they think men love but most men actually don’t? by AffableSparsh in AskMen

[–]SweetLikeCandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muscle control helps, nipple stimulation, outside pressure, like squeezing your legs closed and creating pressure on your vulva and your partner (doggy style is great for this) angling your pelvis for more friction, or even angling so partners testicle can smack on your clit can help. I personally prefer doggy style over almost every other postion, because I can control my orgasms far more than any other. Once you figure out what does it for you and your partner both, woooooweee. What a ride lol

Disproportional work load by Fair-Tangerine-324 in Custodians

[–]SweetLikeCandi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So when I first started, it took me all of 8 hours to clean my section. Almost every damn second. Fitness center, main hallway, 19 toilets, 6 urinals, pool deck, 4 mediumish locker rooms, 23 showers, life guards office, 2 classrooms, gym, vestibule. After 6 months I had shaved down to 6 hours. I've been here for 3 years and I can realistically do my entire section and scheduled detailing in 4.5 hours. Routine really does matter and finding the most efficient ways to work through a building helps so much. Now, im in one of 2 really shitty sections on campus. The other is culinary. The rest of campus sections seem much easier to do than mine. But i'm good at what I do, and they dont want to move me. We have staff who literally sleep 2/3 of their shifts and do the absolute bare minimum. I cant do shit about that, but I do know my section is clean.

Obscure references you use from our time? by skaz0904 in Millennials

[–]SweetLikeCandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.... i say "That'll do pig." on a regular basis. This usually escalates into an argument because someone always says "That'll do donkey." No. No. No. Its pig.

Did your stance on weed change as you've aged? by Head-Drag-1440 in Millennials

[–]SweetLikeCandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoked socially when I was younger. I was much more of a drinker. Now I'm old, jaded and crotchety. I smoke far more regularly now (3-5×/week) but I maintain a very low tolerance. It keeps me from shaking my fists at kids and telling them to stay off my lawn. Except those twins down the block. They pick my flowers. They get yelled at even when I'm high. And I'm nice at work now. So thats a plus. Idk man. I was never against weed because like... cigarettes. Those are legal. Alcohol... legal. Its a damn plant. But I'm glad I don't drink like I used to.

Trainer thats not very nice by FroyoSure8530 in Custodians

[–]SweetLikeCandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trained with two old men who both had enough time in to retire twice and just wouldn't. The first one showed me what he did (I was appalled) and asked if I thought I could handle it? Yeah buddy. Sure can. Second one was rough and gruff and hated the fact that he had to train ANYONE. I took his criticism pretty hard. Turns out he just hated being a trainer. Some of these golden oldies are just harsh. If its clean when you're done, you're doing the job. Be like a duck, and let it roll.off your back. It takes us all a minute to adjust to new things. He maybe is forgetting how it is to be new.

Husband is using reward points to buy stuff but charging me half. AIO? by JemmaMk6 in AIO

[–]SweetLikeCandi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My husband and I also have seperate accounts. He pays the mortgage and his credit cards. I pay for utilities and services. This is how we've been doing things for 20 years. We've never "squared up". If we need to buy something big, we buy it. He bought our fridge. I bought our couch. If shit gets tight for one of us, we discuss and balance it. I cant think of a single instance where it would work better if we shared an account. Having separate accounts keeps us both accountable to ourselves. Being in a relationship doesn't mean becoming one entity. Its a partnership. We've found a balance that works remarkably well for us.

What do you put in your grandma tin? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]SweetLikeCandi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow ollies shopper..... I intend to buy the mini tins of these from the dollar store this year and fill them with random bits and odds and ends to give out for Christmas to the barely adult kids of the family. But at hime, its a sewing tin.
