I use Wikipedia mostly to solve arguments, but also to just read some quick facts about something, and then I further research those cool facts.

I really hate that a lot of schools block Wikipedia for "not being a good source" because I legit don't know too many college students who don't use it at the very least as a starting point for research.

I would seriously consider what it is that you want to come from this. Bringing it up could cause negative energy, would that be worth it? Can the mistake be corrected without you looking petty?

I’d suggest letting this one go and take serious note of what happened to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

When I come up with great ideas, I like to be the one to explain it at the meeting. If someone starts to speak before me, I just wait for a moment to jump in. Normally they will take a second to think about something important, where as you already know the idea front and back. Should be easy to jump in and take control. Also, you could say something about how you came up with the idea in a non braggadocios way. Ex: when coming up with this idea I had to think long and hard about with it is that the customers really want and how they could use this process later in life.

Take the path of least resistance, most of the time you get to where you want to be quicker.

seems more like you should focus on the activity at hand than do two simultaneous things

You could always lock the cleaner in the closet.

Make sure to give some water and bread.

Honestly, I'd show her this exact post and ask for her help figuring out a plan that works for you both. It articulates where you struggle well, and articulates that you don't want her to carry the full cleaning load.

Possible thing to suggest might be a division along the lines of the as-it-happens and the weekly big things. If you struggle to notice the small things, but can take on the big once a week clean of the floors, bathrooms, etc, that could take a big chunk out for her.

The division me and my partner do is that we do a blitz together when our schedules line up - just clean the place for a couple of hours together. It sounds like mini blitzes a couple times a week may fit more with your fiancee's needs, but it's important that you talk to her on that rather than just assume.

Have tried fabreeze, it did not seem to work but now that I think about it I wonder if I used one for furniture not sure if I could find one for clothes is there one?

With the vinegar, Is that white wine vinegar or white malt? And does it go in with the clothes or where the laundry conditioner goes in?

Thank you for the great advice!

This post reads like an advert, like your other posts about this business, which seems to be owned and operated by one man, Ashley, who does most or all of the seminars.

1 Maybe it’s perception. Check with someone who also witnessed it. Ask them who they think came up with what. If they confirm what you say, your colleague knew he was stealing the idea. Tell your witness who came up with what and when, and see what the person says. Maybe it’s unfair or even outrageous that the colleague stole your idea, maybe the idea isn’t that good anyway. Either way, this will give you the motivation / justification to take it further.
2 Leopards don't change their spots. The thieving colleaugue is not to be trusted and given the opportunity will unfairly take advantage of you or anyone they perceive as a pushover if it benefits them. This is not your friend, or rather, only as long as it benefits him/her. You could ask them why they portrayed it that way, but you are not dealing with an honest person, so I wouldn't expect to get anything out of that. Unfortunately for you, these people have worked out that it can benefit them to take advantage of people who they know will not make a fuss ( aka: a pushover). Tell them that they gave a good presentation on the idea, but that this is your idea and that you are glad they like it, but cannot accept that they pass off as theirs. See what they say, unless they say ‘oh yes, my bad, let me correct this’, proceed to ignore it since the person cannot be trusted.
3 Inform your manager that this is your idea and that you are glad they like it, but cannot accept that your colleague passes it off as theirs. It is part of their job to ensure fairness within the team. By not telling them, you would be preventing them from doing their job as well as they could. Tell them that you do not want to make a fuss, but that it is a matter of principle and also, that you want your manager to be aware of the kind of person you are dealing with. There might be previous occasions this person has done this that you don’t know about. Either way, if nothing is done, this will happen again. To clear the water, offer to send a recap of the idea in written, and almost as an aside, highlight who came up with what part and when. Maybe you can credit your thieving coworker for the communication of the idea, as it would allow them to not completely lose face, which might invite some kind of retaliation.

Good Luck.

Yep I’m a “faster” too. It’s wild what a difference meal timing can make.

She should lower her standards, though, or accept that she will do more. Your standard is perfectly acceptable and hygienic, which is the only thing that really matters.

Because if the higher being start telling you to do a morally wrong thing or you start having doubts, you still won't do said thing.

Same. Like I’m a sociology major doing online classes meaning no professor to really explain the work. Alot of theories, especially when it crosses over with philosophy, I immediately go DIRECTLY to wiki or non academic sources and read it so I can go ‘oh okay, now I got what Weber meant when he said that’ and then I go to the academic papers and sources now that I understand what they’re talking about.

Just cruise your local mall parking lot in the afternoon. One trip will get you lots of free boxes in good shape that are nearly broken down, and all you have to do is tape them again.

What? It's the flagship of a donation-funded organisation. WTF has "the government" (which one? the Swiss?) to do with that?

Ugh. This is such soon-to-be-obsolete advice I'm surprised it isn't curdled. The newest wave professors are having to fight back against is ChatGPT written papers.

... nobody's "caught on." Wikipedia is still not valid. If you have to be told that going to the sources that the wiki cites is a completely different kettle... well, I'd hate to read one of your papers.

You need a schedule. I have the same problem - I don't really notice mess until it gets out of hand. So you can't rely on noticing it, you've got to have a habit of checking. While the coffee is brewing, are there any food crumbs on the kitchen counters/dishes in the sink etc. If I get up to go to the kitchen, I scan the room I'm in for any dishes, any rubbish I need to throw away. While dinner's in the oven, do I need to run the hoover around and so on.

Maybe discuss with her what she's noticed you're slacking on and make a habit to check frequently if you're doing that or not.
