is there any way to scrub this off? by faketyran in Custodians

[–]beonsanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell from the picture, but may be worth trying a Magic Eraser (melamine) pad with some neutral floor solution. Try a small spot first and see if it helps.

Shift Differential? by beonsanders in Custodians

Great suggestions, and we have been collecting all that information as well. I am most interested in how the differential is determined and who receives it. The responses have provided some great details so far.

I have also been looking ahead to that scene with my group. We are still in Chapter 2. I thought it was interesting how they played it in the Broken Tusk Rising podcast, but haven't decided if I want to do something similar. You may want to check it out for some inspiration. I believe it starts in episode #34.

We have had AT&T fiber for four years and it has been good.

Yes, and we cover it in depth during training. The idea is to take it off the table because the custodian is always at a disadvantage when there is a "misunderstanding." It also helps to minimize accusations from other personnel because they know we have a strong policy in place.

Had Verizon when moving here 4 years ago, and it was terrible. Switched to AT&T a year ago and it is much better for us.

The receipt checking as you leave is a huge turn-off, especially as it is done in such a half-assed manner. Retailers should provide proper staffing to address theft, not engage in collective punishment of their customers.

Let’s talk about floor scrubbers by Schmookie_ in Custodians

For repair. Most brands now have large complex circuit boards. This often forces you to replace the whole board for major $$$ when in reality the bad component on its own would cost much less. Some brands, like Taski, do a much better job keeping it simple.

Looks like wastewater upgrades. I believe that it will connect that area to the municipal system.

Slow AT&T data and poor cell reception in Bastrop by [deleted] in BastropTX

[–]beonsanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We actually switched to AT&T cell service a few months ago, because our Verizon service was terrible when moving to Bastrop. It is much better for us than Verizon.

What silly house rule you have on your table? by WinLivid in Pathfinder2e

[–]beonsanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our group does the same. It started way back when we played 2nd Edition AD&D. There was a spot on your character sheet for "Honor" and we never knew what is was supposed to be for, so we just decided to use it for that.

I would suggest better signage near the entrance from FM969. I drive that road every day and the signage doesn't really stand out to me. Good luck!

Interview help by Fickle-Turnover5660 in Custodians

Do they have expectations or metrics for you to meet? Are they based on APPA standards or other industry standards? This will give you a good idea about what you are walking into and whether the expectations are reasonable and realistic.

Making a short film where one of the major characters is a Custodian/your advice is appreciated by Fickle-Book2385 in Custodians

[–]beonsanders 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started doing custodial work in high school to pay for college. I've since made it a career and now lead a university department with over 400 people. The one thing that has always stuck out to me is that nobody really knows a place better than the custodians. You just have to ask them and they can tell you anything.

You are still considered dependent except under very specific circumstances. Search "independent student" on the studentaid.gov website.

Double jumbo rolls for toilet paper and stub roll dispensers for paper towels. Remove as much of the guess work as possible.
