AMJ Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Geometry. They have their own equipment, but it walks around. So they borrow mine. :glare: So yours will start wandering about, too, then? Methinks yours needs chaining down or locking up! I pitch fits about orange-handled scissors. All orange-handled scissors that enter this house are MINE, and if someone else uses them without putting them back or next to the sink for washing my inner two-year-old emerges. It's the only way I can maintain any semblance of control and make sure I know where to find scissors when I need them. I'm not particularly fond of orange, but they are easy to spot! I have no prayer of keeping track of my geometry tools, other than my drafting ones. When DD15 starts hs geometry next year she will need her own set of tools AND an assigned place in which to keep them. Something like this https://www.containerstore.com/s/kitchen/cabinet-organizers/undershelf-baskets/12d?productId=10000700 on the underside of the shelf above her desk might be handy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I can't do my geometry because the boys have borrowed all my equipment. :confused1: :confused1: ETA: Okay. I see. Geometry was so long ago I forgot there was "equipment" involved. Hello, spark. Welcome. Edited March 1, 2017 by ikslo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 So yours will start wandering about, too, then? Methinks yours needs chaining down or locking up! I'm thinking of hiding mine where I keep the tape reserve. I may need to add spare batteries to my stash drawer as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I was drawing and learning about the altitude of a triangle. So I needed my compass to get the perpendiculars through the vertices. And a straightedge.

Critterfixer Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I've been told by the writers' group that I have to write a short bio for that cookbook anthology we are working on and hope to release later this year. I'm thinking I may need to step up to the plate and get cracking on a building a website. :scared: This feels scary, y'all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The sun is shining here, but the wind is blowing so much pollen around that even I'm sneezing. School is almost done for the day. Then I'm going to plug into some music, write for a few hours, pick a section to submit for critique this week, edit a story for the cookbook, and tackle another chapter in the novel that I'm editing for a fellow writer. I might require another cup of tea for all that. I think I'll make it now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I need you all to tell me I'm right. Hypothetical scenario :closedeyes: : A log is created for HR to list all of the new hires/terms/promotions/demotions/title changes, so that the people who need this information in order to do certain tasks (create training records, maintain org charts, keep track of policy acknowledgements, resumes, etc.) can access the information at all times, in real time, without having to spend extra time tracking down information. HR loses its admin at the same time every other department is decreased, putting a strain on everyone. HR manager decides she no longer has the bandwidth to maintain the log. Here's where I need you all to tell me I'm right. Because, of course, I am right. I just need validation. HR decides to stop maintaining the log - BUT DOES NOT TELL ANYONE THAT SHE IS NO LONGER ENTERING INFORMATION. Except she is. Or someone is. Sporadically. Enough to give the impression that it is still being maintained. But the information is piecemeal and there is no rhyme or reason to what is updated and what isn't, so I have no way to know how far back I have to reconstruct information, and her answer is "Just ask me for what you need." How do I know what I need if you haven't told me. I know what I need to know because it's on the log!!! This is rude and unprofessional, right? Failing to communicate information, half-a$$ing the rest, and then expecting me to do the legwork to clean up the mess you created? Um, no.

Junie Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Maybe you sprained it? Sprains heal. The doctor made no mention of a sprain. Would that show up on an x-ray? I think it's arthritis. I only got it checked because a) I was going to the doctor anyway and b) I didn't get my shoulder checked in December because I thought it was arthritis -- and it was dislocated.
