I was at a work trip in the UK and for some reason the Uber driver told me that they know when the flights come in and they all turn off their app to make the rates go higher.

I was very annoyed at that. Even though my trip was 100% covered by my company, what about the times I'm just traveling on my own?

I didn't tip the guy. Fuck that shit.

In college a professor told us a story about visiting colleagues in the UK.

One of them mentioned to him that Americans like to go straight to that question and for him to hold off on asking people what they do for a living.

He said once it was far into the evening the colleague asked him what he thought of everybody and he said everyone was nice and it was a treasure to meet everyone.

Afterwards he went on to tell him what everyone did for a living and he was surprised about everyone's profession because he would have never guessed based on the conversations he had with them.

He said it was refreshing not knowing one's profession as you end up judging a person based on that information.

This professor was old, so I'm sure 20 years ago in college for me, it was 20 - 30+ years ago for him.

I recommend going online and getting a mattress with a free trial period.

I went through 4 mattresses until I found the one that worked for me.

The only downside is that it costs like $90 for them to ship out another one and they pick up the current one.

However it's worth it instead of buying a bed you can't take back and continuing with the same issue.

Been there, done that.
