Reply to LPT: If you work an office job, save your time off for non-holiday seasons by supermagicpants
My office has this lovely policy that if you work over the holidays you're responsible for covering for EVERYONE who took the time off. Out of 20 assistants only 5 are currently working between Xmas and NY, which means we have to cover EVERYONE's work as needed. Sure it's quieter...but I'm still responsible for my team of 5, my cubicle-mate's team of 5 (I always cover her vacation) AND anything else that anyone in the dept feels like sending my way.

I read "get lucky" as winning something such as the lottery not having sex.
I'd also suggest electrolytes and stretching before hand.

Reply to comment by clearheadclearhearts in LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious
I boil it in salted water (with a dash of oil) for about 7 minutes - it should be 80% done then. You can also take out a grain and press it between your fingers, or taste it - it should have a bit of bite to it and break.

But keep in mind that different cats can have very different personalities. You need to know what kind of person/cat you are dealing with

Give it too much attention. Since you can’t touch it just speak to them in a baby voice a little bit louder. That gets on their nerves. They like calm people, and you ignoring them gives them that calmness. The more unwanted attention you give to them, the less they will be interested

Have up to 7 sick days in a row off without a doctor's note.
If you're ill before you take annual leave, you can take it as sick leave instead.
If you don't take all your annual leave because of illness, it carries into next year.
There are no limits on how much sick leave you can take, but after 4 consecutive weeks you're considered long-term sick. The employee can dismiss you after this, but only after exhausting all options that might help you get back to work, e.g. offering for you to return part-time etc.
My sister in law had cancer just after having a baby last year - her company allowed her to take the normal 1 year maternity leave, but delay the start until after her cancer treatment had concluded (which was taken as sick leave). They've given her the 6 months of sick leave she needed, and then the year maternity on top. All paid.

Also watch out for official holidays and extended weekends. For example if a thursday is a paid holiday take friday off. Bam 4 days to do what you please!

Morning Brew and The Skimm are two such websites that send email newsletters summarizing world events and news! Although they're both mostly catering to a U.S. audience.

LPT: Take time off when it suits you the most, if that's during the holidays to spend time with your family do that, if it's random Wednesdays just because do that.

Reply to comment by tioLechuga in LPT: cancel your subscriptions before the end of the year. reset, commit to new (or same) subscriptions… you may even get as discount. by tioLechuga
Honestly I think a better tip is to do a subscription audit and decide what you aren’t getting your moneys worth out of and canceling those. Like maybe you subscribed to a streaming service to watch a certain series and that season is over and might not be back for a year. Just canceling everything for the sake of starting over seems pointless to me. If the end goal is to decide what’s worth keeping do an audit. Keep what you use, ditch what you don’t and see if you can renegotiate the ones that you are on the fence about.

Are you projecting out into June/July? Or do you live in one of those strange places that does the weather all backwards

Reply to LPT request - When you have a piece of gum, keep the wrapper in your pocket so you have something to put it in if there’s no trash bins around This saves you from sticking it under tables, littering, or chewing on it longer than you want until you see a trash bin.

that’s fair. i was thinking for things like netflix or disney +, not cell service. things with a set price.
i’m doing it to see what i have out there. too many things on auto pay.

Reply to LPT request How do you make friends? by Anniebluv
It starts with talking and communicating, get yourself in situations to do that with people that have common interests, this can be done through school classes, activities, clubs, hobbies and even sports. Good luck and just remember, they are human just like you! Everyone is a little shy some just show it more than others.
