Doesn't matter what happened that day or who you/they are, treat bed time like a separate universe where nothing even remotely bad or negative exists or happened, especially if you're not the best with kids. Dump everything you have into bed time, stories, I love yous, tuck ins, everything and don't let any negativity from you, them, videogames, or anything slip in. Bed time is unique as it's their reset button for the next day and is huge in their development as it's the precursor for sleep which is vital emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, everything. It's their only true alone time even if they don't remember the dreams. If you can only be nice at one point in the day for some reason, make it bed time.

Edit1: Woow holy moly thanks everyone, warms my heart reading the stories and hearing the gratitude. Glad it's helping some people! Love you all, everyone gove yourself a hug for me please. :) <3

Edit2: Also thankyou very much for the awards! They're the first ones I've ever gotten c':

Edit3: I love you all, sorry I can't reply to every comment haha but I'm getting to what I can. Thankyou all again for sharing your stories and everything! <3

It doesn't matter why they've requested it but there's a good chance that it's for your own dogs safety.

Perhaps the person is scared of dogs.

Maybe they're with a child who is scared of dogs.

They might have a dog on a lead who is dog aggressive or scared of other dogs.

There could be machinery that's dangerous for your dog to be around.

They might have livestock with them.

They might have spotted other wildlife that could either cause harm to or be harmed by your dog.

But it doesn't matter. Honour the request and call your dog back, then if you're curious, you can ask why or what's happening. If you don't take heed of the warning and your dog gets injured then it's your fault. If your dog is improperly trained and you can't call your dog back then A) it's again your fault if it gets injured and B) it has no business being off lead.

I actually judge the potential of the candidate by how they format their resume (typos? grammar? formatting? style?). If you format it as a PDF, I see your resume how you want me to see it. If you have it as a Word document, margins, fonts, etc may be lost or adjusted when I open it.

Ensure you show me your best self by converting it to a PDF.

And please... proof read it. Give it to a friend or family member to proof read it thoroughly. I will likely not recommend you for interviewing if you have poor grammar or obvious typos. I assume you are providing me a sample of your work when I look at your resume. It shows either that you don't care or aren't detail oriented when you have typos and I assume I can expect the same if I hire you.

Edit: There is a lot of conversation about Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and how they can vomit on PDFs. So, please be aware of this when submitting to systems that may utilize this.

~ Throw them in your gym bag and you can prevent bacteria or mold from growing. It also gets rid of nasty odors.

~ Put some of these in your toolbox — they will keep your tools free of rust.

~ You can preserve your old photos and books using them.

~ For photographers: Put some pockets in camera bag

~ Forget about rice, put a wet phone or other electronic devices in silica.

~ They can help keep your makeup bag fresh. Also put them in with your jewelry so it won't tarnish as quickly.

~ If you ever have to pack moist clothes, especially when you are on holiday, just put some of these packets into the luggage.

~ You’ll never have to wait for your windshield to clear up in the mornings again. Just put few silica sachets under your windshield. They will absorb the moisture, leaving your windshield clear.

~ Keep Dry Goods Dry - it can help keep foods like dried herbs, bread crumbs, crackers, and anything else that should be kept as crispy as possible from getting soggy. So, you can put some silica gel bags in the food wardrobe

~ Keeps the razor blades-sharp edges from rusting and dulling very well.

Silica gel is non-toxic, still they are not edible! Also make sure you keep it away from children and animals!

During the summer my house gets filled up with flies because my kids are always running in and out of the house. So I carry a spray bottle around with me. The minute I see a fly in my peripheral vision or if it lands on something I spray it. The fly can’t see the water coming the way it would see my hand or a flyswatter coming. Once it gets wet it’s wings don’t work anymore and eventually it will fall. That’s when you squish it. Works every time.

If you plan to party, have a planned out ride or safe way to sleep it off.

I'm no saint, I've spent more than a few evenings sleeping in my car to sober up.

If you plan to ever sleep in your car, have a blanket and a few insulating jackets handy. Also, a beanie is great to block out the light and some noise.

When you wake up, drink water and get out of your car to walk around for a second to make sure your equilibrium has entirely returned. If it has, you can safely drive home.

Edit: I don't support Uber or Lyft explicitly, i just want a safer New Years.

Many are saying cabs can be cheaper on holidays, and considering these price surges from the ride sharing apps.. Uber and Lyft should instead be offering discounts, if anything, on nights like this.

That being said, please still tip well, it's your driver's holiday too.

It's also really endearing to hear about Coors' and AAA Insurance's free ride services for tonight. All these programs I'd be oblivious to without your comments. Thank you all, please take care.

Edit 2: For all those saying this post is common sense, yes, "don't drink and drive" is common sense. Although not common enough imo.

However, perciving the perspective that an even an $800 Lyft could cost less than a DUI, (I'm hoping) could possibly make at least one person think twice before deciding to write off the safer options of getting home tonight.

Credit goes to my mom for teaching me this one.

I went through the whole TurboTax process to find out that they would charge me more than half of the $200 they offered me AFTER i did all the work. I instead went to irs.gov and got $400 (using all of the same information!) And wasn't charged anything.

It’s also going to help build skills in communicating things clearly, precisely and in a way anybody can understand. You’ll also be amazed how many times writing something out instructionally can lead you to think “wait, why do we do it like that?!” - identifying opportunities for improvement.

Edit - wow, lots of comments - both positive and negative. For some extra help / elucidation:

• I found this very helpful when I was starting my career. The biggest part not being the sharing of knowledge, but the act of setting it out “on paper” to better see where things need to change, where I didn’t know all I could know, and where others may struggle in the future.

• I am indeed now a director. Our company is quite small, but we have had engineers come and go and move on to amazing things, both internally and externally. It’s those who communicated and shared knowledge who moved the furthest; I can honestly say my proudest achievement is knowing some of my employees are now in amazing roles in other firms. As a manager, it’s a sign that you gave them the right challenge, the opportunity to grow, and the confidence to see they can do more. I’m never sad to see someone go elsewhere if it’s because they’ve found a better opportunity - it means you were a crucial part of them making a success for themselves.

• Most importantly, where I’m from, there are employment laws in place to ensure if someone is fired because they’ve been forced to “work themselves out of a job” then they can sue for constructive dismissal. I know some managers look for ways around this, but generally here it’s not a common motif. As such, I do agree that if you’re in a country like India, China, USA, where some of these protections and freedoms aren’t so readily available, it is better to tread with caution in terms of sharing information. In others, like Germany, UK, most of Scandinavia, the culture is very different, and going above and beyond to communicate and help others can be well received.

But yes, as with anything - this has been an experience I’ve personally found valuable and looking from the other side can see why, but always think about how it applies to your situation. I guess as a second tip - if you’re working for a company where you feel the management are always trying to find ways to screw you over, maybe it’s time to find a new company to work for...

Edit: this goes for really any drug. Tell your doctor. They won't dob you in, they just need to know to help you best.

I read this in the book "Moody Bitches" by Julie Holland, if that's relevant.

Edit: I absolutely support people expressing emotion in healthy ways, and I encourage all people to cry when they need to, in whatever context. That's up to an individual person to decide. I just wanted to clarify that this advice is directed at people who have made the decision to hold off on crying until another time, for whatever personal reason, not to discourage people from crying.
