It still wouldn't compare, fortunately.

And I'm a woman with very thick, long hair. I wash it, condition it, mask it. I scrub the budding calluses on my feet and moisturize, then I shave most of my body.

Granted, hour-long showers only happen once a week, because I only wash my hair once a week, so my everyday showers are more like 30 min, but you'll rip those hour-long ones away over my dead body.

Flush. Your basic water usage is absolutely miniscule compared to what major companies use. I'll start not-flushing the day they start doing things to minimize their own water waste. I'm taking my hour-long hot shower, too.

I used to constantly be stressed out that I'd be fired. I was always a good worker, but that anxiety is brutal. Every small mistake I'd make I'd worry for days after that the hammer would fall any second.

One day I was so anxious that I made myself vomit. That was the day I had a pep talk to myself.

Chances are, you're a hirable person. If, for some reason, you lose your job, chances are you'll find a new one, even if it's an interim job that you need to hold you over until something better comes along.

You need to think long and hard about the worst things that could happen if you don't think about work until Monday. What's rhe worst thing that could happen if you waited until Mondat to start thinking about how to tackle what you didn't finish last week? How much time would that take out of your Monday? How far back would that push your tasks?

Most likely, it won't push you back very much in terms of time. Or, maybe it pushes you back an hour. Is that extra hour worth replacing 48 hours of constant worry and anxiety? Probably.

You have to think about the fundamental base of what's causing you to stress about this over the weekend. What are you worried will happen if you don't think about it? Once you understand that, you can start reasoning with yourself as to why you don't have to worry about that particular thing.

Associates of Science, rather than an AA, Associates of Arts.

She labeled herself supermayor as a serious title and the press ran with it because she's so goddamn corrupt and bad at her job(s).

Seriously, you should look into the shit she's caused for that town. She didn't pay the bill for the city's leased cop cars, so they might all get repo'd. She hired out private security from the police force to do things like walk around her small town and hand out water bottles door-to-door on a hot day. She's taken first class flights to Vegas and stayed in 5-star hotels on the city's dime. She leased herself a 90k SUV also on the city's dime. She tricked people would showed up for a meeting concerning her performance in a basement so they wouldn't be able to speak at the meeting. She refused buisness and alcohol licenses to local buisness owners who spoke out against her or declined to donate to her.

...she may have put a hit out on another local politician she doesn't like.

I thought that was veterinarians?

I got to speak with a few soil engineers at a recent job site and they said the worst part of their job is that everyone hates that they're around, because they'll make or break a site, lol. I felt bad.

Lots of us would go crazy with that low level brain simulation.

I'm extroverted with thick skin, but also an empath. Working any job where I'm facing the public is incredibly emotionaly draining because of it.

Sometimes I miss working service jobs, but never so much that I could go back to it and be that mentally exhausted every day. I give you major props.

CAD drafting.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of shitty CAD jobs out there, but there are also plenty of great CAD jobs as well. I got my AS in Drafting for manufacturing, but manufacturing paid pretty low when I started looking. So I applied for civil CAD jobs instead. Started out at $26/hr, which was a little under double what I was making at the time.

The great thing about CAD work is that there's lots of room for upwards momentum. I applied for a designer position 8 months in, which bumped my pay to $30/hr. You can work your way up as a designer, or into project management. My company also offers continued learning, so if I get the bug to go into engineering (unlikely, math & physics is my sticking point) then I can, for free.

I was pretty active for a while in the CAD subreddit, and I was almost afraid to graduate because there were a few people in there who were so negative about CAD as a carreer. Turns out they don't look for good jobs, don't ask for pay raises or continue to learn. My experience in CAD has been nothing but fulfilling and exciting. I design substations, I'm learning a lot, my drawings literally build/extend America's power grid, so I feel like my job matters and is important. I find ways to increase my knowledge and pay, and there's tons of upwards momentum if I take it.

For reference, I was an animal hospital receptionist before I made the switch.

Which, unfortunately, is what mostly is controlled when censorship is applied.
