Mostly Sundays and Mondays. Sometimes other times.
You werenât listening the first time, when you âreally reallyâ needed my help. Why should I waste time and effort repeating myself, since I have no rational expectation that your communication skills have magically been upgraded?
This ainât a video game kid. There are no buffs from mysterious strangers or inscrutable Sky Gods.
Iâm sorry, but it doesnât help the issue when you constantly mention how big and important it is and how mad the user is. We get it, the user is frustrated and the issue needs resolving. No need to say anything more. I hate to keep mentioning the former boss, but she and I have worked through bigger issues without blowing things up any bigger than they already are and it worked out fine.
I think Iâll just tune you out whenever you do that.
Would this person accept it if you told them someone more important was angrier and had to go first?
People who try to kill schedules and timetables because of how important someone is kill me. I get doing crap because it will save the business, but when you drop X project just because someone more important needs coffee or some crap kills me.
He might actually accept it, yeah. Part of the problem is that itâs slow here lately, making this the biggest issue we have to worry about it. It annoys me when he keeps mentioning it, almost as if he expects me to do something about it. Newsflash, youâre working on it and it doesnât need two of us.
The worst one was when he had me stop setting up new hires (who were due in a couple of days) so I can create a ticket for an issue he was handling, because he couldnât remember how to create said ticket. This whole âboss knows less than youâ crap is annoying. I much prefer the âboss knows more than youâ crap.
If you canât or wonât spend the time to train your dog, maybe you shouldnât have one.
The neighbours are going to find this printed out on their doorstep today, thoughâŚ
Approved. Though from your posts it sounds like the dog just is bored and needs attention and interaction. But that handout is pretty good, especially for webmd.
Glad to hear from a vet that itâs a good article! I read several before choosing that one to print.
Edit: I think the dog is being territorial. It doesnât bark the whole night, just occasionally such as when there is a late night visitor (customer), real or imagined by the dog. It also barks and snarls at me whenever Iâm in my backyard. It doesnât sound like friendly or bored barking, especially when itâs snarling and lunging at the fence trying to get at me.
Those are harder to fix. Since he barks, you (eventually) walk away, and this rewards his behavior of barking. Same reason why dogs bark at the UPS guy - they âscareâ him with barking and so next time they will bark again, he will leave, ad nauseum⌠Good luck!
Does it help that I usually stay out there until the owners come out and yell at the dog and it stops barking?
Humpin Hesus! I get that youâre trying to appeal to a certain demographic (i.e., male tweens and teens who donât have a snowballâs chance in a clothes drier of getting a date in the next three decades), but come on!
You spent all that money on art (and a blast-your-ears-off soundtrack that sounds remarkably like the theme music for Hawaii Five-O), couldnât be bothered to check that the dialogue made sense (yes, âyour disaster is already soonâ right back atcha kiddo), and has a quest line so linear, the user canât do anything except click the mouse to get through the (lousy) dialogue.
I got bad news for you, kid. All those boobs are not going to make your game any better. If anything, they just make it more traumatizing.
(and if any of you are curious, itâs Duty of Heroes on Kongregate - unplug your speakers first)
No because they are reinforcing the behavior by yelling and giving him attention. You arenât causing any harm, though, as long as you are safe. That being said, humane agents generally keep reporters anonymous, soâŚ
Brava! (Although I have to wonder if theyâll read it, much less follow it)
Who knows? I havenât noticed any difference in their behaviour, so probably not. They still yell at the dog when it barks, telling it to âshut upâ or just âno!â. I had to try, though. Animal control is next.
Just think, the dog now has the potential to have owners that will care for him properly.
Especially since shelters and all have evolved to the point where they at least try to make sure the animal is going to a good home.
If you really wanted one of my recipes, you would keep your mouth shut and listen, instead of. INT. TER. RUP. TING. ME.
A conversation is one person speaks, everyone else listens. Everybody gets a chance to be heard, everybody gets a chance to hear the other points of view.
Two or more people talking at the same time is not a conversation. Itâs kindergarten, or Congress (which is just kindergarten for people over 50, subsidized by marketing majors).
Correction. I have started hearing a difference in the neighbourâs behaviour. They are yelling louder at the dog and starting to drag it inside while hitting it when it barks. 0_0 This is not the response I was hoping for, and it definitely shows that they didnât bother to read the article I posted. I have to call the animal shelter tomorrow. My town doesnât have an animal control any more. It was taken over by a private rescue group, so I donât know how much help theyâll be, but Iâll try.
Iâll keep my fingers crossed.
My therapist wants you to stop talking to me, because itâs only making the suicidal ideation worse.
And people wonder why Garbo was a recluse.
Write a short story where the one talking to you gets eaten by pigeons that are annoyed by human speech. Alive.
then: âhere, I wrote a story about youâ
