I know this is kind of random. I’ve got a black necklace with a long round pendant on it, and I think I look better topless when I wear it. I’m not sure why.
I love the smell of wood burning/camp fire smell. There’s something I find comforting about it. I’ve yet to find a candle that exactly replicates the smell, but if I ever do, I’m buying 50.
I actually can’t stand tea, like TEA tea, but I do like herbal teas. I like the idea of using the lapsang souchong as potpourri, though! I’ll try that.
I was going to make a post on unpopular opinions saying comic sans is not as bad as people make it out to be and can be useful in some cases since it is easier to read. But decided not to because I wasnt sure kbin/lemmy felt about it.
If you use it while trying to write a paper, you can actually write faster/more easily, so I tried it out myself, switched the font, and it actually did help. I do switch the font back to something more professional if I’m sharing what I wrote, though.
This is gonna sound outdated as hell, but I handwrite one major plot point or scenes on an index card and then put them in the order I want the outline to proceed in. I change the order of the cards if I feel like it or if a scene went some different direction than I originally intended while I was writing it. I only do this while writing fiction.
Mine is nostalgia. That's literally my copium drug and it really is strong some days. It's not that I sit here everyday and never move on to newer things, I do sometimes embrace new things and realize there's more out there than what I have....
A few years ago Brachs candy I think it was made Thanksgiving dinner flavored Candy Corn. They had turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, greenbean, apple pie, and gravy candy corns mixed in a bag. The cranberry apple pie were great but the stuffing tasted like vomit. Everything else was just meh. I never bought a bag again.
Would this include airplanes flying into NC? Like, if I have a layover in Charlotte and I’m only gonna be at the airport a few hours, I can’t wear a mask on the plane to Charlotte, or at the Charlotte airport? I know planes are owned by the airlines so they’re not “public”, but what about inside an airport?
I work with a person that went presented with a problem, works through it and arrives at the wrong solution. When I have them show me the steps they took, it seems like they interpret things incorrectly. This isn’t a language barrier, and it’s not like they aren’t reading what someone wrote....
It sounds like this person isn’t remembering the procedures then, even when you’ve explained it to them and they’ve already done the task before (Or they’re just a lazy fuck that doesn’t care one way or the other and maybe never will). There is no “fixing” the individual, you need to correct their behavior while also giving them plenty of opportunity to get it right and with all the tools and guides they need readily available. How long have they been working in that position? Maybe they just need more time.
As others have stated, if the directions aren’t already in writing, you should either write them down for the employee or, better yet, make the employee write them down, then review it for accuracy. This should in theory help them commit the process to memory, plus now they have their own guide to refer to.
Another bonus (for you, not the employee) of getting the process in writing is that if/when this person messes up again, now you have something to point back to and say “Remember when we went over this and you wrote it down and I verified that your notes were correct? Did you follow those notes this time? If yes, why did (mess up) happen anyway? If no, why didn’t you follow the notes?” Make this person explain themselves, don’t just sit there and be mad and say nothing to them.
This could also be a case of weaponized incompetence/ learned helplessness. If they fuck up a lot, you stop giving them work, but they’re still there getting paid anyway, right? Now you’re just paying them to either stand around or do menial tasks and not what you actually hired them for.
Start documenting their fuck ups, and tell them you’re doing so. You’re better off having a paper trail to point to when you have to fire them.

People who are attracted to male bodies: Do you think necklaces/chains on men are sexy?
I know this is kind of random. I’ve got a black necklace with a long round pendant on it, and I think I look better topless when I wear it. I’m not sure why.
Do you have any smell you like/dislike even though most people don't?
I’ll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.
