I do get some extra load some times as a salried worker. It’s my first salaried job, so I don’t know if maybe I’m just lucky. Sometimes I work overtime to finish what I’v started, but compensate it the next day by starting an hour late. If the work becomes too much, i will try to work harder, but if that doesn’t fix it either, it’s possible to either extend the deadline or get extra help.
It’s a total culture shock from my previous, hourly job, where I just had to always work more and more for the same hourly rate. They didn’t care that it took longer and they didn’t care for me as long as it got done, but I didn’t want to work more hours, I wanted to spend more time with my kids.
I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I’m part of. Maybe I’m concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you...
With the lastest news of AI layoffs, I’m struggling to understand how the idea of a career still holds. If careers themselves effectively become gambles like lottery tickets, how do we maintain drive and hopes in the longterm endgame of our struggles?...
I think google’s recent AI strokes, like them advising you to jump of a bridge, are a great example of companies panicking to innovate, to not be left behind. In the meantime they forget to check their implementations, their products and their quality. They’ll slowly dwindle, transform inyo something unrecognizable, but all through their downfall, they’ll continue making money for the shareholders.

The parties of the EU are quite a mistery to me though. I know my national parties, but what is the european green party? I’m inclined to vote Volt, but are they part of the green party?
It’s the quantity. And also, by the time you’ve filled a cup of spit, it has cooled and dried a bit, maybe even breaking itself down, resulting in an increased viscousity, giving it a very unpleasant mouthfeel.
There are plenty of good jobs out there, but they often don’t advertise. They don’t have to. Word of mouth gets them all the candidtes they need and partnerships woth decent recruiters and schools gets them all their other employee needs. If you’re looking for a good job, I can recommend looking up a good recruiter in your area. Not a corprate recruiter, but a personal recruiter. One who finds you a job that fits your needs.
What is Tom Bombadil?
He is not a hobbit, neither a man, but what is he? Is he a dwarf? A wizard? A god? Something else entirely?

We constantly have spit in our mouth 100% of the time but if we were made to drink any amount of our spit it'd be disgusting. Why?
