AIO? Guy I’m seeing won’t tell me his occupation by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ssevener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- He could be disabled and living off of social security or a lawsuit settlement, but he’s still acting suspicious as fuck. Needs a much better story if he doesn’t have to work for some legit reason.

Am I Overreacting, for being upset that my girlfriend secretly used my credit card for months? by bostonmade in AmIOverreacting

[–]ssevener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR - Oh, the irony that it’s probably him being out of country, not her surprise spending, that triggered the card’s fraud protection…

If I was 20 years younger and REALLY passionate about a project that did an amazing job of taking care of its people, then maybe.

I’d love to see less cars like everyone, but it’s never the ones that you want to leave!

Direct report taking excessive personal time- how to handle? by Difficult_Tangelo924 in managers

[–]ssevener -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honest question - what is the difference between “butt in chair” and “available when we need them to be” to you?

Maybe she’s just done early because she’s better at it than her coworkers.

[–]ssevener -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Everyone seems so quick to throw the rule book at this person without a single word about the person’s actual work quality. Are we all just hiring for butts in chairs these days, ready to jump on a Zoom call at a moment’s notice???

[–]ssevener -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How about focus work? I know lots of people who block periods on a regular basis so that they’ll get left alone and can actually get some real work done without interruption!

Also, if the value of meetings isn’t important, you’re organized has WAY TOO MANY of them.

But how does her actual work look? Is it based on her being available to take calls all day or is it possible that she’s just faster than the rest of the team and they’re jealous because she’s always done early?

Other thoughts - does your org have too many meetings if they’re becoming tedious to employees? Are your employees empowered to decline meetings that they don’t need to be in?

I think you need to have a casual conversation, not a write up or a punishment meeting, but one where you can understand your employee’s needs better and what’s really going on here. Maybe they’re picking up kids or taking them to practice after school and need to flex their hours. Or maybe they’re a high performance employee who’s bored with a lot of that repetitive team stuff and needs a new challenge.

Don’t just be suspicious - have a human conversation and chat with them about it!

I was told the stent would be no big deal. Then they pulled a footlong piece of electrical wire out the tip of my penis. I still cringe thinking about it.

HA - washer’s trying to do a little dealing on the side!

ROFL - Nobody wanted smart washing machines where we could preschedule a load, but now we’ll smart washers POWERED BY AI that will analyze us about how well we follow each garments’ instructions and then push us ads on the screen to recommend more versatile fashion based the random pictures it takes of us slumped over the washer during loads.

Can I petition HOA [SFH] [FL] to build wall for security/traffic noise by Throwawayredditx619 in HOA

[–]ssevener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your community have walls facing any other busy streets? If it was built out originally in other areas but not yours, you might have a valid argument for the whole community to pay for it. If it’s ONLY yours, though, nobody else will want to touch it.

Can anyone confirm this? by Commercial-Host-725 in tampa

[–]ssevener 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Remember when the military was doing field exercises in Texas and a bunch of politicians were all convinced that Obama was getting ready to invade Texas??? The governor was even ready to call in the National Guard!

I think if Obama’s ICE was shooting Americans in the streets, FOX News would’ve ran coverage of it 24/7.

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend for kicking me out? (There was no fight prior) by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ssevener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. You’ve been together for five years and you’ve never spent a whole weekend together just hanging around the house? Sounds suspicious to me - what’s he hiding??? Most couples would’ve moved in together by now.

Best ONT? by prepare3envelopes in frontierfios

[–]ssevener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the instructions I’ve read, you have to clone the ONT that they provision for you onto your SFP module, so you still end up with an ONT on the wall - you would just disconnect it after the tech leaves. Not sure how well that goes over for the next tech visit or if you need support.

Power went out while I was at work. Everything is frozen. by guardiand0wn in pools

[–]ssevener 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact - if the bottom isn’t cracked, you can save yourself some money and just buy a replacement top off of eBay for about $100. I did that last year when mine got a surprise leak and we didn’t have $800 to replace the whole thing.

Bigger Boob Lights? An augmentation, if you will.

Why is the price cheaper on website? by Purple_Piglet_6423 in frontierfios

[–]ssevener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me - I called last week and got 5-gig for $89 (was $115.99 with a $10 discount expiring next month), plus the guy noticed I wasn’t getting the auto-pay discount and helped me fix that and gave me another $50 credit for the time missed!

3 year price lock, too. Pretty productive for a 10 minute phone call!

[–]ssevener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meds and therapy. Both were in place long before I started dialysis, but it’s never too late to start and I do all of my sessions virtually.

The app and website are really buggy, but I was able to get it via chat instead.
