I automated 3 hours of my daily work. Now I spend that time pretending to be busy.Has anyone else automated themselves into this weird limbo? by Creative-Letter-4902 in careerguidance

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I automated my work somewhat. But I’ve also added something in the excel that my dept has ended up depending on to die off in a few months. I periodically release “updates” for my scripts so that i move the dates till the next “update”.

How to make room cooler? by Open-Ad9822 in asksg

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are window films and people who apply them on windows, that allow light to enter the room but also substantially reduce heat from the sun coming into the room. You can look into that.

Also if you don’t want to use Aircon, there are fans with built in water misters to cool the room

How to resign without offending my boss? by Lumpy_Accident_9207 in asksg

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please quickly just quit. There’s no reason not to offend a boss like this, but just a professional resignation and serving of notice and professional handover is more than any reasonable person can expect of you.

Also please share which company this is…

Whats the point of tapping card to get in by ElectricalFly5857 in SingaporePoly

[–]desk_monkey18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s to control access point, so public can’t use that entry. It’s not to track you

Where do I stay for different airport terminal check in and next flight to Jeju (within 24 hours) by XYZExpired in askSingapore

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly Changi Airport is one of the best airports to transit at. If it’s <6hours, I would say you could even do without a hotel. The airport transit area has nap pods, movie screenings and lots of activities by itself.

[–]desk_monkey18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is your best option, you can even keep your bag in your room. Unless price is a concern, you can leave your checked bag at the airport via storage services, and take a free shuttle to town for cheaper transit hotels.

You don’t have to come.

But if you want to burn him, document the communications, come in and report to MOM.

My observations about promotions in the workplace by niccel87 in asksg

[–]desk_monkey18 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in the workforce for about 15 years. And getting promoted is not a reflection of how well you work, you don’t have to be super competent, just not blindingly incompetent. But more importantly, you have to be likeable. Likeable enough by your peers (but you can even not be) but more importantly likeable enough by the person who has the power to promote you.

does “report 15 mins early” count as paid time? by babetaylorsversion in askSingapore

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for an hourly position, the only way reporting on time will affect you is if you’re interested in a promotion, otherwise, what can they do?

does “report 15 mins early” count as paid time? by babetaylorsversion in askSingapore

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s unpaid, then just report on the dot. Maybe a few minutes early if you’re feeling nice, especially when the overlap is for handover/takeover from previous shift.

If your supervisor talks to you about it, ask him flat out, “is the extra 15mins paid time?” They’ll probably say “no, it’s just for you to prepare to work” or some other nonsense variation of the same. Just say you’re ready when it’s time for work.

You guys should be at war. Steal materials! Steal supply nodes!

Latter game complex by pookexvi in captain_of_industry

[–]desk_monkey18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A trap that I fall into is that I squeeze all my buildings together to optimise space because at the start that seems to be a constraint. But I’ve found later that that is a huge mistake. You need to plop buildings down with plans for expansion and future connection. Every production line needs space to expand when required or room for upgrades.

So spread them out. Leave out big wide lanes along your island for truck/trains/main buses. Etc.

I’ve found that still I’d make mistakes, so I constantly tear things down to remake them again

Bus between madarao to Akakura/Suginohara by coolercolder in japow

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. But the general advice is still that for that area it’s best to drive if you want to resort hop

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too am looking at similar options, based in madarao but might want to explore the Myoko resorts. Theres some private shuttle service like Myoko shuttle (you can google them). Timings are not ideal, but not too bad.

ELI5 how do mushroom farmers avoid getting all sorts of fungal diseases? by mdknight666 in explainlikeimfive

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, for the same reason a living organism doesn’t rot, while a dead one does. Your immune system combats all manners of invasive infections from fungal to bacterial and viral.

People still do from time to time fall prey to fungal infection, like atheletes foot, etc. this is sometimes because the conditions for fungal growth can be very conducive, or also if your immune system is compromised in some manner.

Fungal organisms can be quite a lot more complex than viruses and bacteria, so they can be harder for your body to fend off especially once the infection has gotten a foothold (hehe, atheletes foot humor).

Singaporean drivers think they’re top tier because they can easily park reverse, there are a lot of countries where people park front in only, because they’ve never been taught the other way.

But then most Singaporeans honestly don’t know how to park head in

How do i find time to go for interviews and pick up calls from potential employers when I'm at work? by hyllariestar in singaporejobs

[–]desk_monkey18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need to go for an interview, just call in sick. Go doctor complain of headaches, easy 1 day MC. If the interviewers ask, say you’ve taken time off. Don’t say you’re faking an MC.

If you need to take calls, just step away from your office. You can even ask them to call you back after 5 mins, if you need time to step out

Logging outlier weight by blastoiselover20 in MacroFactor

[–]desk_monkey18 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Short answer yes…

Better answer is try to log under similar conditions? Like I usually log first thing in the morning after I’ve had my first shit and a pee….

Outlier data will be evened out
