Physician here! A note with a picture of the family will go up in the lounge or offices. Food is deeply appreciated and it’s awesome if it’s delivered in two different shifts for day team (7 am start time) and night team (7 pm). Then, a detailed letter with names to HR so that they can be recognized by administrators (helpful for bonuses, awards, promotions.)

Other peoples pronouns aren’t about you. Don’t overthink it.

Call people what they like to be called. It’s not that hard to be a decent person. It’s one of the most basic forms of respect for a person.

All depends on your withholdings, deductions and credits. Typically, most people take the standard deduction as they don’t have enough things to itemize and reduce your overall tax liability. Some people are eligible for tax credits. This is usually how people get back thousands in a refund, without paying in a bunch, during the year.

The idea is to owe 0 and get back 0. This means your withholdings are spot on and you’re getting the most money back in your paycheck during the year.

If you owe, you need to adjust your withholdings, depending upon the amount you owe. Up to you if you want to pay a bill or not. For the people who get thousands back in a refund. It’s not necessarily because they overpaid during the year. It’s usually because they qualify for credits like earned income or child tax credits. It’s additional money. Not money they paid in and is being returned.

When prices have been falling, you might find there is a better choice of property to compare, and can pick and choose more easily, and more time to consider.

When prices have been rising and people are panic buying, you can't take the time to consider carefully and there may be little choice at any one time, and might get rushed into a suboptimal choice.
