I have a question about my The Workplace Stack Exchange post: How to tell someone politely that they are barking up the wrong tree?
The question is put on hold, how can I improve it?
couldn't open the boot, couldn't even shut the driver's door! (the car has frameless windows so normally the window drops a mm or two to allow for opening and goes back up when the door is closed - window was frozen in place so although I got it open I couldn't get it shut again!)
Every time I see a question about leave or vacation I just hope that one day, one come with the Linus story. Asking about how to handle the issue when you are the chief but every time you try to go in vacation the whole team follow you.
He want to go to europe. The team go to europe near his hotel. He insult them publicly, they offer forgiveness before he had finish. He claim mental issue go to cure. They moved an office near cure so he can have a stress less work.
@Twyxz possibly.. it could have been a genuine reading though - when the ambient temperature drops so does the pressure in the tires. If the pressure was sitting not far above the trigger level for the TPMS a significant drop in temperature could be enough to send it below that level.
you tend to get more "leakage" during winter months as well - as it's colder the sidewalls get stiffer, the alloy contracts ever so slightly and the whole assembly doesn't seal quite as well so you get tiny losses as you hit bumps etc. Something exacerbated by the pressure drop from lower temps. Check/top up the pressures at a decent garage today and then just keep an eye on it over the next few days.
@Twyxz I get a certain perverse joy in reopening any post he's closed. BTW, there is a product called "Fix a flat" that would work on your tire if it's just a small leak, or you can go to a tire shop, and they can find and fix the leak for you if it isn't just due to the weather.
@motosubatsu In the USA, you have to watch the car dealerships as well. Because warrantee work is paid at a flat rate from the manufacturer, the shops don't make any money, and it[s often shoddy work, or they find a ton of warrantee work to do at the same time.\
@Twyxz National are solid, if not the cheapest. Personally I tend to get my usual garage to do all my tyre work - they don't take the piss with prices (usually pretty close to online prices) and have proven to be trustworthy in general time and again

Ugh, I feel less badly about the ambush code test for that person when I read the previous question.
He triggered a 10 week HR proctology exam of his boss, and now is getting a reprisal. once again, **HR IS NOT YOUR FRIEND**
And today's random thought.... A quote from Beethovan
"Prince, what you are, you are through chance and birth; what I am, I am through my own labor. There are many princes and there will continue to be thousands more, but there is only one Beethoven."
It's really not hard, just eat clean, often and consistently
Cut out things like sauces (in large amounts), the usual sweets, chocolate. Eat in moderation. Once full stop. When hungry make sure you eat straight away

@motosubatsu Yes, I find it extremely irritating that the usual "close everything" crowd doesn't ever edit, doesn't ever comment, and is of no help at all.
@RichardU yeah.. if "on hold" is supposed to be about allowing the question to be improved why the silent down vote bonanza on a meta post asking for help on doing just that
@Nofel the best way to combat that is to be brief. Don't apologize, don't over explain, just go right up and say it. Chances are he'll be like "Oh, that's right, I need to set one up with you, Sorry!" By reminding him NOW, he doesn't have to rush to set something up at the last minute
@RichardU I am reading this book and i am on same chapter which says "ur bad habit make heart in u so strong that when u want to do right thing, it make u feel bad"
I have to remove my goblins and replace it with good auto-pilot.
@Nofel what it is, is forming new habits to replace old ones. One thing I started doing each day was to stop, and think about one thing I was grateful for, one thing I would deliberately enjoy, and a goal to make five people smile.
That's how I rebuilt myself from being homeless.
You keep yourself too busy with positive things to dwell on the negative.
This latest turn has irritated me a bit, so forgive my tone.
