Crime / Re: Why Do Judges Destroy Their Pen After Death Sentence by SaturnNick(m): 6:43pm On Jun 11, 2023
Kikeslayer2:


Like Pontius Pilate washing his hands after Christ was condemned to death, the act symbolises that the decision was not an individual decision but that emanating from a jury of one's peers/ or laws set forth by the people.

It showcases the power of the pen in signing the irrevocable verdict a judge can not walk back on after signing the death sentence . An appeal of the death sentence can thus not be reviewed by same judge.

It is also a very sober reflection point as judges have no choice in passing a death sentence for a convicted capital offense. Breaking the pen , is symbolic reflection that the judge hopes not to repeat in any other case brought before it and since the pen was used to condemn a life, it is inappropriate to use it for any other document .
Thank you

“So, we have taken the timetable for Thursday and Friday and integrated it into the timetable for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.”




I disagree with this. Edo will soon be dragging bottom position with Northern states in low/poor quality of education.

It's a good arrangement for the teachers but the kids? Nahhh

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Introverts, How Do You Cope At Your Work Place? by SaturnNick(m): 12:31pm On Jun 10, 2023
Rubyjade:
I used to work with several engineers with diverse personalities but many of them were somewhat introverted. I found being kind, leaving them to their work and not forcing them to be overly involved.

For the most part, they were thinkers and not as introverted as they appeared. I discovered once they got comfortable with me that they would chat and we'd laugh.

I think the key is to try to be understanding, try to make sure they are comfortable around you and don't pressure them to do what isn't natural to them. Invite them to social activities like luncheons and other things but don't be surprised if they don't attend. I used to ask one if he wanted me to make him a plate. Eventually, he attended.

As long as they are doing their job, leave them to it. People in certain positions took those positions because it doesn't usually involve social activities. Engineers, accountants, dishwashers…there’s a lot of jobs that don't need to be social. Assume that's why they choose that job.






Introverts are not rude or arrogant. We just keep ourselves to ourselves and get on with things. It doesn't mean we're unfriendly.


1. Allow them to get settled in at work in the morning before talking their ear off. Introverts sorta have to acclimate themselves to social environments such as work or parties every time.

2. Keep conversations short and sweet unless they are keeping the conversation going. Nothing is more awkward than a person that won’t stop talking to you despite your clear lack of interest in what they’re saying. Just say “hi” and keep it moving unless they are clearly in the mood to talk.

3. If they say their “fine” or “okay” just take their word for it. Don’t try to probe for more information or try to get them to open up to you. We’re naturally quiet, reserved, and have bitch resting faces! We’re not sad or upset…that’s just how we are naturally.

4. If we decline the invitation to the office happy hour or Christmas party, please respect our decision! Don’t try to convince us to go or ask us why we don’t want to go. We would just rather avoid large awkward social gatherings! And everyone, (even extroverts) can agree that office social events are a bit awkward!

5. Don’t tell them that they need to be more social in the office. The only thing we NEED to do is our freakin job! Everything else outside of that is extra credit. And we are also well aware that our social withdrawal may cost us a promotion but we’re perfectly fine with that! Co-workers are just that…coworkers…not friends!

6. Don’t try to force them out of their comfort zone by putting them on the spot. We aren’t “shy” extroverts who need to get out more. We are introverts who actually prefer flying under the radar. Don’t make them give the presentation to the whole office! Don’t make them wear the stupid Halloween costume for everyone’s amusement! Don’t put them on blast in mass emails! Don’t make them give speeches to the whole office! Just leave us alone!!

7. Don’t make our quietness seem like an issue. Almost all of my supervisors have said “Gosh! You’re really quiet!” In reality, we’re similarly bothered by how loud everyone else is but UNLIKE you, we don’t make a big deal about it. We accept people for who they are. SO WHAT, if I’m quiet and you’re talkative?? People are different. Don’t make me feel uncomfortable for being who I am!

I know I listed 7 points, but it all boils down to 2 things:

ACCEPT THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE
LEAVE THEM ALONE UNLESS THEY REQUEST OTHERWISE!
You just nailed it. Thanks, for sharing how we feel cool cool cool

spencekat:
Mine was wrong blood group.I first did the BG test in SS3 on the dictate of my mum and it was A plus.

Before we (my wife to be then and I)enrolled for marriage class,we did blood group test and behold a different result (O plus)came out.I complained to the lab.staff and she couldn't say anything.


I had to talk to my doctor friend who advised me to go to another lab [b]since blood group doesn't change [/b]and the result tallied with the initial one I did when I was in Secondary school.

As regards the wrong result,I later found out that the test was done by a lab intern.I threatened to report the intern.to the management of her clinic.One of the senior staff there was begging me to sheath my sword.
Which one changes please
