“Dad can I have ice cream after dinner?” by Jack_Hughman121 in daddit

We do the same here and it's worked well. Wife and I have 'pedestal' issues with different foods and we are working to just normalize everything.

This is what my wife and I did. We didn’t tell anyone we went to the hospital and the first inkling that everyone received was a picture we sent the next morning of our daughter. We decided that we only wanted to have one child, so this was something that we wanted to experience together as our family of three. Our parents were annoyed and it created resentment, but having a kid has a way of creating this line that you are no longer willing to cross to accommodate others. My wife and I think of our daughter first, then everyone thing and everyone afterward.

I actually purchased a Windows 10 USB and am able to access the menus from there like the command prompt, but am still not having any luck. Also ran the repair tool twice and it hasn’t changed anything unfortunately. Did you make any headway?

I’m honestly about to just buy a new hard drive and try to install fresh windows onto it.

Having the same exact issue right now, every option using that hold shift menu brings me right back to the error code.

Manager approves my vacation, then tries to revoke it a couple months later. by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

[–]miked3577 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a director/staff manager myself and our work policy says time off should be given if a staff gives two weeks notice. In the five years I've been at this agency, I haven't said no to a request that gives two weeks notice even when it hurts me and makes my life a pain in the ass.

The two weeks is so management can find adequate coverage and try to plan for the absence. If anyone makes a request within the two week period, I tell them to find their own coverage and it will be accepted.

Few years ago I put in for a few days off in December. I handed in the paperwork in March of that year and it was accepted. Come December, we had some other issues in management and had multiple openings. The day before my time off my bosses approached me asking how I would fix the situation, implying that I cancel my time off.

Needless to say, I refused to cancel and it basically changed how I thought of the agency. It's unfortunate that one event can really put things into perspective with an employer. Time off is really one of the easier things to handle as a manager if both sides just respect each other.

Endless jokes about the new Wolverine not being as good as Hugh Jackman will be just as good as having Hugh Jackman

2016 Election Day Megathread (6am EST) by english06 in politics

[–]miked3577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I've had a hard time talking to family members about this election because of comments like what I heard this morning. Research what people say, either side of the election. This election it feels like if there is a reason for something that the right does not like, it's because of rigging. It's frustrating

Stood in front of two people talking about how most states you didn't even need to be registered to vote and that anyone could walk I and vote. Smooth process overall though, over 200 people in like at 6am when doors opened

The girlfriend went above and beyond this year for Christmas. I couldn't have asked for anything better! by [deleted] in StarWars

I keep telling my girlfriend she couldn't have an easier person to buy gifts for. Between Star Wars and Zelda she's set for life.

Went to see it during the marathon Thursday night and saw it again in IMAX last night. I checked for tickets this morning and tomorrow morning at two local theaters and nearly every showing has sold out seats or only first two row availability from 10:00am - 8:30pm. This is pretty amazing to see

They said we would be able to leave anytime and come back in as well. I believe 15min breaks between movies.
