On our honeymoon I refused to use the stairs. I hate elevators. Monday night the fire alarm went off, guess who knew where the emergency exit was 😁 Also guess who keeps clothes and a purse next to the door now. Nothing worse than being in the jacuzzi tub on the 10th floor when the alarms go off and scrambling for clothes and key cards. Had no wallet so couldn’t even go grab a drink and was very cold!

I worked security in a huge warehouse for a New England grocery chain. The only elevator went up to where the compressors were for the freezers. They were huge, at least 8 feet long, and there were 4 in each area. We were shown the door if we used the elevator. It was for our safety, if one of the compressors was having a problem we wouldn't hear it in the elevator but would if we walked up the stairs. I had absolutely walking the stairs.

Or not use the elevator when you're the only one in the building? (Yes, that's unfortunate when the building has multiple floors, but beats getting stuck, I guess, especially when it's not the first time.)

I'm going to be "THAT person" right now, so apologies! He's stuck in a lift where there may well be no mobile phone reception. It's appearing as though that's the situation. You can take photos on your phone without it being actively connected to the Internet. He probably took the photo to pass the time, maybe then switched it off to save battery and uploaded the photo once he got out of the lift and charged his phone.

We’re all wired differently. Some people have a much more difficult time recovering from an unpleasant workday.

If you’re one of them, author and academic Dr. Caitlin Demsky advises detaching yourself from the negative energy by relaxing after work. It could be doing yoga, listening to music, or watching a movie, as long as it helps you sleep better.

“Those who can take mental breaks from this fare better and do not lose as much sleep as those who are less capable of letting go,” Dr. Demsky said in an interview with Inc.

However, some days are heavier than others. They could be taxing enough to break you down emotionally. If you’re pushed to the brink, New York-based psychologist Dr. Junhong Cao advises allowing yourself to feel your emotions.

In an article for her website, Dr. Cao encourages catharsis through a sad song, a heart-wrenching film, or journaling. If you need to cry it out, go for it.

There’s A Massive Hole In My Pants And I Only Noticed An Hour Ago. No One Said Anything To Me

I have a puppy who is almost a year old. My adorable, tiny turd loves chewing on clothes. Shirts, pants, underwear. She doesn’t care; she will eat it.
I lost a pair of black pants to the destroyer of clothing a few days ago, and I thought I threw them out (the pants, not the dog.)
I now realize, with horror, that I put the wrong ones in the discard pile. Meaning, I wore the ones with a huge hole in the bottom. To work. With people. Lots of people. I dropped a couple of things and had to pick them up.

Self-care isn’t selfish, and even the American Heart Association says so. Dr. Cao says it is most important during stressful times, like when you’re having an awful day at the office. Exercising after work could be a way to decompress and relax.

For downtime, Dr. Cao urges focusing on interests. Take a break from social media and engage in your favorite hobbies, such as painting or playing an instrument.

Work-life balance is essential for longevity and sanity. Dr. Cao recognizes that it can be intimidating for some to exert that right, but you can start with small steps each day.

Some excellent examples include limiting screen time, logging out from your work platform after a specific time each day, and avoiding checking emails on weekends. But this is probably the most important tip from Dr. Cao: “Saying ‘no’ more often and not people-pleasing as much.”

Work-life balance can also mean drawing a line between the two and keeping them apart. Bringing home your stressors won’t do you any good, and Dr. Cao advises making a conscious decision to “leave work brain at work.”

According to her, even simple acts like washing your hands or changing clothes before leaving can help reset your mind before heading home to your family.

“Remind yourself that you work to live, not live to work,” she said.

Ever Made A $100,000 Mistake?

I was recently moved to shipping for an ink-making company. While unloading a dark trailer, I punctured a 2000-pound tote of water-based ink; the entire thing emptied in seconds. The whole trailer, dock door, and outside were turned blue. Even though it's water-based, it still had water pollutants in it, so the EPA had to be called in due to it getting into the sewer. The specialty company that was called in to clean up has spent the last 3 weeks digging up the sewer and surrounding ground that had been contaminated. A few days of heavy rain haven't helped the cleanup at all. Needless to say, I had a nervous breakdown and missed 2 days of work. I got a call asking if I was quitting, which would possibly lead to criminal charges (don't know if that's possible, but I know I can fire back for not having dock lights and fork trucks with dim headlights). Being close to 3 weeks out, I can finally think back and laugh at this situation.
