Driving to work down 11th Avenue at this time of year, with the incredibly bright, east sun perfectly aligned between the buildings and shining DIRECTLY IN YOUR EYES and making everywhere and everything impossible to see (even with sunglasses on and my car's sunshade down), GMG

When's the last time you cleaned the inside of the windshield?

One thing I noticed someone do was a high beam flash before pulling over. I assumed it was the truck directly behind me that did it. It certainly helped me check behind me a little earlier.

I'm usually pretty good at noticing but sometimes you can't see through a vehicle.

Admittedly it's been a minute haha; I keep my car clean though! Just haven't done the inside windshield wipe in a while... didn't even think of that. That said, dirt/dust didn't seem to be the issue.

Seems like every time I wipe the inside of the windshield I make it worse, do the pros use a product better than Windex?

I've been tempted to install a tinted sun strip on the top 4 inches of the windshield or whatever to go along with the sun shade and sun glasses. Like the ones that some people who mod their vehicles install, but with less decals.

I also use washer fluid to get rid of dust on outside.

Inside, I think something alcohol base works well. A light misting of Vodka or rubbing alcohol without much in terms of additives and wiping with a micro fibre cloth will probably be fine. No need to buy extra stuff and have a giant bottle you wont use. I'd also recommend using pressured air or a turbofan to clear the dust from the dash and windshield after the wipe. Usually there's a little bit of dust and stuff from static from the wiping action.

That's a gear grinder. Is there a product out there that actually works to remove the film that builds up inside? I've yet to find one, it's a battle trying to clean my windows that I can't seem to win.

People that poop at work.

We've all miscalculated a lunch time burrito and felt the dread creep over and then out of us, but if you habitually take the throne on shift you need to be segregated from society. Especially when you do it in the small restroom right next to the office instead of the many large bathrooms throughout the facility.

Pooping isn't the issue per se.

I think how one poops is the issue.

To your point, take a stroll to one of the man large bathrooms throughout the facility.

Hell mix it around.

I have mentioned this before, but at an old job i worked with a guy that would cover the ####ter seat with at least 2 layers of TP, then just leave it there for the next person find and deal with.

I mean that is lowest of all levels of humanity.

Everybody poops, just be considerate when you are pooping

People, are just ####ing filthy.

I've trained my body to expel what needs expelling in the morning, before I assault the odor holsters of my colleagues.

Why would I waste my own time doing that rather than waste company time?

If you’re sitting adjacent to the office bathroom, perhaps you have a case for constructive dismissal. Take this all the way to the Supreme Court!

I can't poop in public bathrooms, it's a mental thing. I go first thing in the morning and if I have to go again during the day I will hold on for dear life. The few times I have had to use a public bathroom has given me terrible anxiety attacks.

####.

So, my boss woke up again despite the doctors saying he wouldn't, got sent home, got to celebrate his birthday at home, his wife's birthday at home, see everyone last time, then went into hospice care and passed last night.


Since then has been a whirl of emotions and notifying everyone, which is doubly hard when he's been in the same industry for 30 years and everyone knows him.

I don’t know if diaper technology has advanced over the last number of years, but I don’t recall them stifling odours a terrible amount when we had babies.
