Hurricane Cat 1 coming my way Sunday night-ish.
Just got done prepping the outside of the house, after stocking up on perishables at 7:am.
Next gotta compartmentalize rooms n shit, sort what shit in what room can get fucked in case of a breach & put all my good shit in the safest room.
Seriously considering moving off the beach by end of the year, these storms are just going to keep getting worst.
I'd rather be surfing but its flat, its that calm before the storm weirdness.
- It nearly drizzled here in LDN earlier. I hear you, bro.

Srsly, take care and good luck! xNairn - Stay safe broutopian

Have an old friend who is poor but refuses to get a job because of the "pandemic" and then doesn't understand how people afford things and doesn't have a car and then complains she's bored and can't go anywhere.

Wish this never ending rain in the eastern US would divert itself out west. I joined a weekly golf group back in June. Played the first two weeks, and have been rained out all but one time since. The forecast for the next couple days (including my league day): More fucking rain! Go to California you bitch ass clouds!

There was a double decker bus parked on the stree down from the studios here for a while. I'd pass it every day on my way in and out.
Turns out it was this one:
- Police car out there now. Gossip is that she was murdered on the top floor and had been there for days before bus moved on.
Whilst I walked past. Poor lady :(Nairn - Tfscarabin
- Living in the metropolis, man - shit gets close. There's been easily 7 murders within spitting distance of here over the past couple of years.Nairn
- Actually, more like demisuburbopolisNairn

Anyway, lots of less than wonderful shit, on your doorstep.Nairn

Just scanning an email conversation and realised that I spelt 'there' as 'their' two emails back.
No getting around that one - I just sound like an idiot.

learn some proper English you peasantgrafician - sad to say graf, but mono is righthans_glib
- what a shitty language lol
when you translate that shit in other languages it changes the tense, btw
so "didn't went" is correct when you translategrafician - "didn't went" is not correctmonospaced
- There's never a need to tell me to "learn proper English" either. I have no issues with the language, sorry.monospaced
- flolNairn
- Cool, then continue to sound like a hillbilly whenever you talk to a foreigner, it's your right ofc!grafician
- That could only sound correct to someone that's not learnt English very well. It works, but it's wrong. Even ESL speakers don't use that.Nairn
- And as for it being a shit language, English is the most sublimally majestic European export globally. You're using it right now, reading this back.Nairn
- Now we're out of the EU, there's more chance than ever that it will be used as The Official EU Language, as we're not embedded as a direct beneficary.Nairn
- Well, save Malta, but fuck Malta in this regard.Nairn
- (I assume Ireland has Gaelic as a ... I'm not forgetting you guys, I just thought... I'm not sure what I thought).Nairn
- English is confusing because it is a product of so many European inputs. It's kind of beautiful. Where language leads, society follows.Nairn

Would it be weird to swap my bedroom and living room around?
I'm moving to a 1 bedroom with a livingroom and separate kitchen.
The livingroom is so nice with great light. The bedroom is small and darker. Has a closet though.
- "The livingroom is so nice with great light. The bedroom is small and darker."
That's your answer right there, champ!palimpsest - so... tiny living room?pango
- tiny dark living room makes a lot of sensehans_glib
- Tiny & dark living room (has a closet though).
Spacious and bright sleeping room.palimpsest

Today I've started the 75 Hard mental workout thing. Right now, I feel like a snooze would be amazing.

- Haha. The work outs don't need to be anything demanding. I did a 45 minute walk this morning before work. It's mainly about routine.Ianbolton
- Generally my diet has always been good, but now I can't just say "fuck it" and order 3 pizzas. Going dairy-freeIanbolton

Do any of you know how to disable Google Chrome Helper? I've noticed a serious slow down on my MacBookPro lately and I can't seem to find out how to disable/remove it? It seems to be attacking my cpu
- 1. Uninstall Chrome
2. Install FirefoxGuyFawkes - ^hans_glib
- sorry I am no helpGuyFawkes
- That are practically the tabs open in Chrome.
But why use Chrome, it's filthy. Use Safari/Firefox/Bravegrafician - There is no hope, get a faster computerdrgs
- I googled it:
https://marketedly.c…
can't disable it, but you can change it from “Run Automatically” to “Click to play”.uan - another Firefox vote. Chrome is shit.garbage
- Chrome is shit. Do not use.********
- Migrated to Firefox, but checking Activity Monitor - and chrome helper is still running. What gives?stoplying
- oh snap! lolGuyFawkes
- Force quit that fucker?grafician
- Did you uninstall Chrome?garbage
- Uninstalled, deleted library, prefs, everything. It's gone. It was eating up so much CPU% that my machine was running like a dog. All good now!stoplying

Advice please.
If a boss / supervisor has not yet given an employee their performance review and it is a month past the deadline, even though the employee reminded them three weeks ago that the supervisor had not done it yet, what is the correct way to approach the problem?
- Employee could certainly remind the supervisor - AGAIN - that their review has not been completed. However, employee feels awkward to have to remind their own boss to fulfill a necessary part of their job.
- Employee could go to HR, who owns the performance review process, to ask why they have not yet had their review, but risks relationship with their boss if going to HR is seen as complaining about the situation or avoiding a direct line of communication to their own boss.
- Employee could go to company president, who employee knows well and knows the president is aware of employee's career goals, and inquire as to why they feel left out of the process, but also risk problems from not going directly to their own boss about it.Any thoughts? Employee's self evaluation - the essence of the review process - contains important commentary about an anticipated promotion, and clarity on role and title level. Employee is stressed knowing that there are important conversations to be had, but feels their own boss is being negligent in completing a critical part of their role in the management of an employee.
- I'd send an email with a meeting time and date (about a week away) and say 'I thought i'd pop something in the diary as i'm keen to discuss opportunities toMorning_star
- ...further my career and thought the performance review would be the perfect opportunity. Let me know if the date work for you?" If they still drag their...Morning_star
- ...give HR a ring and ask them to help.Morning_star
- bro, don't tattle on your boss, or go to the president. for fuck's sake calm down.canoe
- Stop showing up for work all of a sudden. You'll still get maybe 1-2 months of salary until they realise you're gone and terminate the contractgrafician
- I think canoe has got this one right. Maybe the boss is discussing just where they want you with his superiors? Just keep being awesome. Do not escalate.monNom
- I think just talk to your boss directly again, and keep reminding. You can go to HR, and they should make it possible so that it never looked like you tattling.monospaced
- If HR owns the process, they should be letting your boss know he's behind, so it's not unheard of to talk to them. Your boss won't know it's you, likelymonospaced
- My wife actually just went through this kind of thing recently — very similar but maybe worse — and ended up with a salary review and a 10% raise. :)monospaced
- Set up a meeting with the subject being year end review. :)stoplying
- "Boss, can we have my review soon? If you're too busy I can go to HR & see if they can help". Passive aggresive behaviour FTW.BusterBoy
