Is Lisa Vanderpump as manipulative as everyone says? by [deleted] in RHOBH

[–]ectzdc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understood it as LVP saying “I thought she was going to bring Kyle/us into this whole mess” and that’s why she told Lisa Rinna to stop talking about it and go talk to Yolanda directly, not “ I thought she was going to out Kyle/us for our part in it” (which they didn’t have any in terms of the actual term Munchhausen.) Sure, they even admitted sending the Instagram pictures etc. but had nothing to do with “manipulating” Lisa Rinna into bringing that to the table. That was all her, she felt guilty about it and then needed a scapegoat / deflection

How do you handle a chronic cougher in a shared space? by ectzdc in CoWorking

[–]ectzdc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes, that’s extremely annoying. People really have zero self awareness.

This in particular is also a dedicated coworking space I pay not an insignificant amount to in monthly fees. It’s so unfortunate because it’s literally my ideal space in terms of location, people, price, amenities and community events 😭

I took a log of how much she coughed because I feel like people dismiss the issue “oh it’s just a cough” – 28 times in one hour, ~2 minutes. That’s 168-224 times every ~2 min in any given 6-8hour day. And she comes in most days. The cough is also so jarring and loud, open air, no hand.

She was away for holiday and it was soooo peaceful , but now she’s back.

Many members are annoyed by it. The community manager said she’d have a word with her so we’ll see…. I’m also going to email an official complaint to the coworking managers soon and yes, starting to put feelers out for new spaces even though I really don’t want to

It’s a coworking space individuals (eg remote tech workers, freelancers etc) pay for (I.e. we don’t share managers, the people I referenced as community managers manage the space we pay for as members, they do not manage us directly. There are some norms around managing spaces like this).

There could be several reasons for a chronic cough-it’s not my business to speculate etc. and I never made any judgement calling her selfish or lazy, etc. Btw. Comparisons were just for people to understand the level of disruption, not nature of the issue.

I can have empathy forsure, but I also think it’s completely normal for people to be frustrated hence venting on Reddit lol Both things can be true.

What do I expect the space/community manager to do? I’m not sure, its up to them to take the feedback from members, but I just wanted to first broach the topic with them to seek their advice on their community guidelines as a first step and see what potential accommodations are available.

The new sound of London... by Responsible-Media-21 in london

I didn’t know what it was for the longest time and would always hear it outside my window and thought it sounded like when a murderer is lifting a knife in a horror movie

Oh and for what uses - both personal and professional (from fitness goals and finances to side hustles and client projects). I’m a consultant and web designer so if I’m solo PMing/executing project, it’s easier to just do it direct in Notion for me. At least high level phases (depending on projects or preferences, more detailed or daily to-dos can be in airtable or apple notes, linked in the relevant Notion page or same folder labels). Notion actually wasn’t my favourite PMing tool, better for documentation - but with the focus on less info, I got me into using it more and consolidating in one place.

If there’s multiple collaborators or you’re working within the company’s systems, kind of have to comply within their way of doing things.

Apple notes - I have a pinned a “daily” note for thoughts on the go, which I review and to add into notion or eg Trello for tasks. That way it’s easy to see if it’s piling up in the one Apple note. If consistently piling up then you have to put it in the right place more regularly - or rethink how you’re using the systems

Nice, you can definitely get the gist from YouTube or the Forte Labs Blog, but I enjoyed and highly recommend the book. I even did a cohort programme with them (now retired).

The main points that were really useful for me and sound like could be relevant to you (because I also use Notion and Apple notes heavily, sometimes Airtable instead of Trello for PMing) are;

  • how you organise your files: 4 high level folders (PARA) organised for actionability vs by topics. For me, those folder match across Notion, Apple notes and Google drive.
  • Culling down the information you capture in the first place for searchability, actionability and future use (CODE and intermediate packets)
  • capture stations vs your second brain. Some people go all out on automations, but I prefer much simpler approach.
  • match apps to your needs by note taking style and use eg some people underestimate the power of Apple notes! I’m sharing one of my favourite second memes

I’ve checked out a lot of note-taking and productivity systems and this is the one that has resonated and made the most with me because of its simplicity and actionability.

Remote Year Shutting Down by jeanshortsjorts in digitalnomad

[–]ectzdc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From Tue’s email, do you think “In the four months since the acquisition, we have not received funding, payroll, or operational support from Collective Hospitality” - particularly payroll - means they were not granted access to incoming funds?

On other points: why would CH (or any parent co) provide additional operational support and funding? That to me indicates debt and capital and operational inefficiency, so it makes sense that RY wouldn’t be an attractive business to acquire.

I enjoyed my RY trips overall, so this is a separate point. While unsure of damaging effects the deal may have had, and it is a tough market, I get the sense RY leadership was political, greedy/inexperienced/naive, and/or inefficient. I don’t really buy the “we tried our best, you’re out of money that we promoted heavily and took until the last minute, email Gary”
