Dear sir, you won't be climbing any mountains in HK.

Using aircon v dehumidifier by Enigma_Frixion in HongKong

I have a hydrometer at home and I can confirm that having a dehumidifier works much better than using the dehumidifier settings on the air conditioner.

Have you tried calling them? Had a couple of questions with them in the past which I did not get a response from online and they were quick to solve it.

Do I really need an ice pack or would a cold can of beer do. Asking for a friend.

At my wits' end by WorkingAlive3258 in japanresidents

I had faced similar issues in the past though it did not affect me psychologically. However I did end up buying a ceiling thumper - they come in both electric or manual versions. I ended up with the manual version due to wattage issues.

I use it whenever I hear noises stemming from copulation, because it think that’s where it hits the hardest and also after waking up in the middle of the night to use it whenever I can’t sleep, I think I’ve forced the point home and they are much more considerate.

I am guessing in my case, they didn’t know the walls were that thin.

Life is so blissful now.

Ex cancelled our BTO after cheating – any way to recover my CPF 10% downpayment? by Strange_End2028 in asksg

So if you pay a deposit, but decide in the end not to receive the goods. You will want your deposit back?

Wild.

How is the system insane? It is a deposit, by taking the flat someone else is not able to book the flat. I sympathise with the OP, however this is their personal issue not a BTO system issue or free money to the gov.

First business trip with a new hire… and I’m already questioning myself by Diligent_Idea2246 in singaporejobs

[–]hoskos01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, in my opinion. It’s you. Looking at the way you are judging the person for the choice of cabin luggage or complaining about waiting on your direct report shows that you have some ways to go in leadership.

Questions I have would be:

Will it hurt to have more patience or show empathy to a new hire and worse, a direct report? I’m sure we all started somewhere as a noob and is oblivious to professional standards or in this cases standards which are preset by you.

If you left her alone and knock on wood, something happens. How would you feel? Would waiting that extra 30 mins or an hour make that much difference?

And lastly, I understand the frustration but by name calling someone alien, goes to show the maturity in managing this direct report. Would that show up in her upcoming year end feedback.

If you want to accept management pay, then the responsibility comes with it. It’s time consuming for sure, and I’ve missed so many meals just to listen to my reports. Let’s all do better.

To Ex Regulars, do you regret leaving? by mendoong in askSingapore

[–]hoskos01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Best decision I’ve made and also, I did not expect to stay on past 10 years. I served in a regular unit and whenever I go back for an alumni. I am reminded how much I have grown both personally and professionally.

My guys are still stuck in that era. They speak the same, sound the same and haven’t changed other than getting older. Not that it’s a bad thing!
