@susie This is actually normal when you're trying to reset a sleep schedule. What matters more is that you are consistent with when you get up and when you go to sleep.

@RoninGrey I agree with making efforts team efforts. People under me at my day job prefer being given orders, but I still say "Could you do X, please?" or "Please do Y."
There's also a difference between a question and a polite order.

It feels more comfortable to give orders in a polite manner. Some people respond better to direct, non-polite orders, but I suppose need to adjust to handling them. If someone needs to be yelled at, I'd rather fire them than be on them to do their job.

(This is after quizzing me on how I would handle situations and examining my hypothetical responses.)

I'd like some thoughts on some feedback I received from an individual who is training me in a leadership role for an organization to which I belong:

He stated that I say "please" too much to people who are under my authority in my role. He stated that I need to simply tell them what to do rather than asking them. To me, it makes more sense to use both but to tailor my speech to the person. Some people respond better to commands and others to requests.

Thoughts?

I'm close to completing another item on my bucket list. Now, it's just paperwork to finish because the creative effort is completed.

I will not stop in the achievement of my vision.

@RodrickSage It was not the desire for sex but the desire to express the will.

If you mean the desire for sex indirectly caused people to have sufficient population to be able to conquer, that is tenuous at best since having a large population is insufficient to conquer.

You don't need a squeegee. Use newspaper or microfiber cloths/towels, one to which you apply the cleaner and one to dry them. Basic cotton dishrags shed lint and leave streaks more easily. On the topic of streaks, avoid letting the cleaner on the windows in sunny weather as that will leave streaks. Check if your windows lever inside to clean them.
Don't risk leaning out of your windows.

@midway @PNS It doesn't make sense if you consider it from your perspective.

Look at it from the perspective of someone who acts solely on their emotions and desires. Think like a child, and this behavior will make more sense.

@vriska Emojis are helpful for very specific situations. Their flagrant use dilutes their value.

@ButtWorldsMan Change the "but" to an "and" and we'd have no problem.

@susie That makes sense. I find that you can learn a great deal about a person from their shopping habits, and I like associating with people who are frugal.

@susie It seems so. Why get cheap summer clothes if you're anal about online shopping? How does that work?

@susie You shopped for something that wasn't directly on your "needs" list?
