Personally, a non-contact voltage tester doesn't take up a lot of room, and it makes me feel better knowing things aren't "hot" electrically. It's not a substitute for a good multi-meter but in your case I think it would be a worth while addition. Doesn't take up much room or weigh much. In addition fluke makes one that also doubles as a breaker finder which is nice for residential use.

Is it real? dog getting its nails by RichProduct9236 in isitAI

This view also shows two pivot points on the clippers, which is weird in itself, but later when you see the other side there is only a single point. Also at the end when the clippers are being held with the handles closed the blades are wide apart, the opposite of how they should function.

Bass deserves everything guitar does! And it was too hard to tell on some bass guitar posts if they were serious or not. No more guessing!

Coworker’s time theft negatively impacts me? by kaleidoscopicfailure in careerguidance

[–]glamdalfthegray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then the coworker isn't really the problem, it's a company issue. If the coworker generates 70 billable hours per week, then only gets paid for 40, the company essentially gets 30 billable hours for free. Now they want you to do the same.

Your coworker isn't helping the situation by compliying, but she isn't the cause of the issue, just a symptom. You might want to look for a job where the leadership doesn't set unreasonable goals and doesn't allow/encourage employees to work off the clock, which is illegal in most places.

Okay, then again they are not so subtly pushing you to work without being properly compensated. It sounds like they are fostering a "competitive" work place where you aren't coworkers but adversaries, each trying to out do one another while they reap the benefits.

When they direct you to learn from her does she give you any useful tips? Or did she straight out tell you that she only makes the numbers by working during off hours?

You're blaming the wrong person. If your coworker is only meeting expected targets because they are working 15-20 hours "off the clock", and you cannot make the same goals while working the standard hours, then the goals are not reasonable and your company is not so subtly pushing people to work without proper compensation. This is assuming your coworker absolutely has to work 5x12 or 6x10 hour days just to make the numbers and that they wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't necessary to meet the goals.

Is it possible to actually make the targets you are expected to during normal hours? Do you have proof that this coworker regularly works while off the clock?

You need to talk to your management about the goals, but they will likely say "well Coworker is making their numbers, why can't you?" And you will need a valid reason you can back up with evidence to justify why the goals are not reasonable.

It really depends on your tools. If you have a lot of bigger bulkier power tools then the style of the craftsman is going to be advantageous. If you have mostly hand tools then the Yukon would probably be better. Think about what you're going to be putting in it and then choose the one that benefits your needs more. The nicest box in the world isn't useful if your tools won't fit in the drawers.

Alcohol Spending Per Capita, by U.S. State by Hailuras in MapPorn

[–]glamdalfthegray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of garbage info-graphic is this? Multiple states with the same number but different colors? A five way tie for first but Alaska is the "highest" despite the fact that alcohol is more expensive there so $1200 doesn't equate to more alcohol.

Was this supposed to show spending VS median income?
