tamal3 , to nostupidquestions in Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.?

I’m interviewing for a job that has a similar set-up: 8:30 - 5:30 with a required 1 hr lunch break. Any idea why that lunch is required?

The hours are a red flag to me, but I’ve been a teacher for the last 6 years so I’m not sure exactly what I’m getting into. I have a 2nd interview coming up, but I can’t get a read on whether they’re trying to make sure I’m taking the job seriously, or if I’m headed into an abusive work situation. Any ideas?

I don’t smell stinkbugs, either… Apparently that’s also genetic.

But have you smelled ladybugs? Absolutely foul.

I have questions.

tamal3 , to asklemmy in What kind of jelly do you use for your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

I don’t love strawberry jam, but on pb&j it’s the best.

I set a timer to turn it off after 45 minutes or so, but it’s much better than not falling asleep at all. And at 3:00 when I wake up again, I set another 45 minute timer. I’m not sure what the issue would be with my sleep when I’m only listening to droning voices. Maybe if the symphony snare drum kicked in it would be disruptive, but what I listen to is almost white noise with words.

I smoke weed to fall asleep nightly. That’s also very helpful.

Headphones to sleep with. It’s a big stretchy headband with flat speakers sewn in, and it works on Bluetooth (speakers are removable with a little effort to wash the band). I’ve always needed stories to fall asleep, and now I can’t believe how many years I spent propping my phone just-so against my ear to not bother my sleeping partner.

Game changer for sleepless me.

Did you go with a name brand? A refurb? I hope this is my next luxury purchase.

tamal3 , to asklemmy in What did you buy that improved your life?

Me too! I have a stack of maybe 7 small metal bowls, and they’ve been amazing for prep. What are the mixing bowls you refer to? Just slightly steeper walls so nothing gets out while stirring?

This is the first I’ve heard of this device. How fully might it replace my smartphone? I see it does messaging, photos, and has access to the Google Play Store. Does it play music? Does it render Google Maps? I love e-readers, and though while I’ve been impressed by the Kindle, I do detest Amazon.

I was interested in the Lightphone when it came out, but it was too pricey and I’m still going strong on my Pixel 3a. I’ll need to move on someday though… Thanks for any info.

My style, exactly! But even my $20 grinder works wonders compared to pre-ground coffee. I’ve thought about updating that component but I make pretty good coffee as is.

tamal3 , to asklemmy in What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?

I always research unsafe areas for tourists when traveling to a new city, so when I run with my phone map I have a general idea of where I should avoid. Otherwise, I just turn down random streets, though populated and well lit ones. As to large crowds, I have only had this issue occasionally: just be ready to walk and don’t be a nuisance to others. If it’s a rural area, I mostly worry about surprise hills, not safety.

If it’s a foreign country I am especially cautious as running is not really a hobby in many places. I wanted to go for a run by myself in Guatemala, but eventually decided that i wouldn’t outside of very touristy areas or very rural areas. I had a great time running alone in downtown Montreal with minimal research. It depends on the country, so pay attention to local cultural norms and dress codes.

tamal3 , to asklemmy in What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?

A good playlist and somewhere interesting to explore make it great, but I also just love running. I bring running shoes when I travel: there’s nothing like running through a new city as a tourist.

tamal3 , to asklemmy in What do you wear for work?

A cape with a snack pouch! Sounds like an accessory for a skirt without pockets.

tamal3 , to asklemmy in What's the most notable difference between you and the other people in your neighborhood?

My neighbors come in two main flavors: they’re all either devoutly religious or think the moon is hollow. I’m just a regular atheist, guys, stop freaking out about fake shit!

tamal3 , to asklemmy in What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?

Running. I don’t think I ran a consecutive mile until at least age 28, but now i love to run.
