I’ve stopped saying “let me know if I can help” at work unless I really mean it. Often it means I’m overworked and doing someone’s job for them! What boundary have you set that made the most difference?

That is something I have learned: do not say or ask if you do not mean it. Also, be proactive about issues before they happen. Casually mentioning something in passing doesn’t count.

Not giving time frames on jobs, it gets done when it gets done sometimes things take a while to finish.

Hi - looking for direction: I’m about to file my citizenship application without a lawyer (after 5yrs of permanent residency). I filled out the N-400 form myself. At the end of the form it’s asking to upload any documents/evidence. How important is it uploading documents and what exactly is preferable to upload? (ex: foreign passport pgs, univ degree, employment verification?). It didn’t specifically require to upload copies. Would my case be denied if I don’t upload anything? Thx in advance

Could be a silly question — i am beginning to look for a new apartment in the city and ideally want to rent from private landlords rather than going thru Apartment People / @ Properties / Compass, etc. How do you find private landlords?! I have good credit and am very clean! A landlord would love me lol
