Wasabi the J posted:Friends little pit dachshund mix. Smaller dog and him got into it apropos of nothing, but we think they were both stressed out over the wind. Can’t speak to your own personal anxiety problems (sorry friend) but Lando is really reactive with other dogs while on leash and I also can’t trust him in the dog park (he tends to get overexcited too quickly and that has prompted other dogs to get aggressive with him.) So I feel like I may be able to contribute a bit here: I walk him several miles a day and a lot of it is management- cross the street when we see other dogs coming, doing tricks like focus/touch to get him to fixate on me, etc. A class on reactivity can do wonders for your dog- contrary to popular belief, they’re never too old to learn. Another thing is, dogs pick up on your tension/stress, and they act accordingly. If you physically tense up when you see another dog coming, they’re going to react to that as well. Especially so if you really freak out. Trying to stay calm when you encounter something that you know stresses them out will help them out too. I hope you and Sputnik are both feeling better!

Proud Christian Mom posted:this dog owning thing sounds exhausting Today I had 30,826 steps and 15.3 miles walked. I’d say all but 3 of those miles were spent walking/hiking Lando. Being a dog owner IS exhausting, but it’s more often than not the good kind of “you earned the good night’s sleep that you’re about to enjoy” type as you settle down next to a tired and happy dog.

At my old job, I frequently interviewed college age interns for slots on my team. All of them went well and were relatively smooth and informal things, but I had one where I certainly felt like “that guy” for a part of it. We had to reschedule one candidate’s interview to later in the day, around sunset time in early winter, so the guy shows up and we go to the room slotted for us. We all took seats, and I quickly realized that i was staring into the setting sun, while my candidate was directly in front of it. I tried to gut it out and act like I wasn’t bothered by the light directly in my eyes, but as the interview went on, I could tell that my frequent squinting must’ve looked like scowling to my candidate. I eventually stopped him and told him that I wasn’t trying to big league him or try to throw him off balance, but that the sun was in my eyes and it was driving me nuts. Ended up putting on sunglasses for the rest of the interview. We ended up selecting him, and I wrote him a letter of recommendation for the graduate program that he got into, so it all had a good ending. I hate pretentious interviewers and hope I’ll never be one.

TCD posted:. Subaru Outback Sport or Crosstrek. I’ve had the former for eight years and I love mine. It’s been very reliable and was a great daily driver when I commuted; I’ve also found the all wheel drive useful when driving in snow or on crappy rural roads in VA. Workplace rant: if I could have one wish, it would be to banish the word “kindly” from professional vocabulary. Maybe it’s my institution, but every motherfucker and their uncle uses some iteration of the word in every email. Even bitchy-rear end reminder emails will have something like “do you have any updates on the information that I am kindly requesting?” or “will you kindly do x, y and z?” or even “Kindly read this email.” Dude, I opened it already, what the gently caress do you think I’m doing? The answer is no, shitbird, I will not kindly do anything. I will respond to your email with the information you requested, or do the task that you’re asking me to do, because I am a professional and I am getting paid money to do it. I will kindly give my fiancée a ride to the airport at 5 am or kindly help my friend move apartments because I’d like to think that I’m a nice guy- a kindly one of you will- but every time someone makes an appeal to my kindness for some sort of ask just makes it a whole lot more likely that I’m going to funnel your email to the bottom of my to-do list.

I love it when you have a critical need for a new employee and HR and your managers, who despite having come up from the ranks themselves, decides that their ideal candidate will have X years of experience and be a senior person in their own organization, and that they'll offer them a benefits package nowhere close to what they're getting from their parent agency and a 4-year appointment with no option for renewal. The top three applicants have all unsurprisingly rejected the job once they found it'd be a massive trade down for them, so we're likely back to square one in terms of posting the job again, reviewing candidates, and interviewing them. Sure boss, I can keep doing the work of two people by myself in perpetuity. The past five months working without a backstopper have been a breeze, and the stress counselor that I've had to see twice definitely didn't tell me to start looking for another job myself. The entire team is thrilled that the recruitment process is such a plodding and lengthy process aimed at attracting the best candidates and then offering them complete poo poo, especially since one of my other coworkers just put in notice that he'll be out before the end of the month, which will then require the remaining team members to pick up HIS work as well. If anyone's looking to hire an international security advisor or pay me six figures to be a stay-at-home dog dad, shoot me a PM.

WAR CRIME SYNDICAT posted:Tired of traveling to Africa for weeks at a time? The travel is one of the coolest parts of my job. I’ve been to a dozen countries in Africa and gotten to do interesting things and meet cool people. It’s just office politics that are making me want to move on. It’s hosed up that having been to Bangui three times in the past two years has been my best respite from lovely office politics and culture. I’m getting married later this year, and the reason why I work is to facilitate my life with my partner and Lando. I’m okay with something that facilitates more time with both; my career isn’t my life or me as a person.

Definitely do take CPR. I’ve been certified and re-certified more times than I can count and have never had to use it, but if it can help save a life- why not? For the longest time, I had Magpul cases on my iPhone 4,5, and 6. Not because I was “that guy” but because they were drat good cases. My phones survived multiple falls and hard bike wrecks, but when I got my XS, I switched to a Pelican case that has worked super well for me.

Vasudus posted:There seems to be two different types of people in social media in my industry. I guess I’m a combo of the two. I try not to go into a ton of detail, but at the same time, I want certain parts of my qualifications (travel, training background) to stand out. I got contacted by a recruiter for a job that sounded super up my alley until I got to the part with the “must have and demonstrate a mature Christian faith.” Hard loving pass there. Whatever the case, I need to get better at LinkedIn or networking in general because my employment situation is getting increasingly untenable. To make a long story about stupid office politics short, my new boss- a new guy hired over my old boss, who has been with my agency for years and was already doing said job in an acting capacity for months- decided that the way he was going to introduce himself to my “client” was to have me ask them for more work so he could sit in on the planning meetings. It would have been trivial for me to set up a simple introduction, but for some reason, he thought this was a good idea. This, when my team is already short staffed and I’ve been doing the work of two people for six months after my partner was unceremoniously fired. It’s not just me feeling the squeeze, either. We have dedicated people for training and communications/internal marketing who have had amorphously defined projects dumped on them with instructions to implement them yesterday with no guidance or clear vision provided other than “this is what we told people we’d do, now do it, and no, you’re not getting any more resources or help.” Meanwhile, our sister agency has teams of 10+ people working on smaller projects whereas we have one, maybe two people doing way more. Our leadership is ignoring clear warnings that they have a critical morale and manpower problem, and doesn’t seem to know how close they are to having a mass exodus or the next team building activity involve pitchforks, torches and guillotines. I was planning on changing jobs after I get married in October, but I’m realizing that if I don’t leave soon, I’m not gonna loving make it until then. I’m finding myself getting increasingly bitter and irritable, and there have been a couple of times when I’ve snapped at someone or my fiancée because they caught me at a bad time. That’s not me, I don’t want it to be me, so I’m getting the gently caress away as soon as possible. You know it’s bad when you go to a stress counselor and explain your professional life, and they tell you to start looking for a new job. Edit: quite possibly the saddest LinkedIn usage story I’ve heard is a dude (not a friend or coworker, thankfully) saying he uses it to scout out women in his industry that he’s going to try and bang at conferences. pantslesswithwolves fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Apr 18, 2019 |
