Even if you don’t win the most stars, i truly believe in my heart you deserve the best human on Jezebel award.

I would love to have hung out with your professor. In Finland.

I am half Finn and possibly an eighth Saami. I yearn for the nomadic reindeer life pretty constantly.

Yeah, i’m with you. I haven’t used a rear pocket in at least 20 years. Only the hips and thighs.

I think i’m the merge of you and Nyanya. I looooooooove/loooooooathe sad music, depending on how sad i am in real life. I spend months at a time unable to listen to entire artists’ discography because even the upbeat stuff reminds me too much of a past love, or a deceased love one, or even a great night i had hanging…

I do phone left hip pocket, lip balm right hip pocket, keys left thigh pocket, wallet right thigh pocket. It’s the only noise-free scratched-screen-free combination i’ve found, personally. If i’m in a situation where i need the wallet it moves to right hip pocket, but i hate shopping so that’s mostly when i’m at a…

A quadmate of mine sophomore year had a 90 minute 2 sided tape of Desperado that she would play the night before every exam.

NINETY MINUTES. BOTH SIDES.

Just the song, Desperado. By the Eagles? Or Glen Frey? Or someone? Don’t know; don’t care; hope to never hear that song again.

Plus to get from say, Boston to DC, the train is a real option. This doesn’t allow for that calculation at all.

Nor does it seem to allow me to choose to travel through Canada to get to my hometown in the UP of Michigan. Another huge factor when considering driving vs flying.

No love for the buttoned thigh pocket of BDUs? Or even better if you wear EMTs, the shin pocket? No one thinks to look there, not bouncers, pickpockets, or IME TSA.

Don’t forget the most overlooked but what i’ve found to be the most secure spot, inside the bra. Now, that’s only true for sports bras. Fancy bras don’t…

Yup same here. I cut my own hair, i use lubriderm or other unscented lotion wherever i need lotion, i buy whatever razors are on sale, and when i wear deodorant i use Tom’s of Maine.

I also converted recently to using coconut oil instead of lotion most of the time. I still keep normal lotion at work, because underneath…

Try Tom’s of Maine Lemongrass scent. It’s a bit strong in the container but once it’s on it just a whiff of citrus every so often.

Not a damn thing is “wrong” with them. I’m sure they fit your personality, flatter your physique, etc.

Interesting. Whereas i want more ceiling hooks, specifically in the cargo space (i drive hatchbacks only) because i prefer to hang my gym bag, skates, knee pads, etc, instead of leaving them on the floor. 2 sets of hooks in the backseat might satisfy us both, though cargo ceiling hooks are better for what i want.

What i always looked for was uniqueness. Which i realise is a bit flimsy, because it’s so damn subjective. But typical profiles are a dime a dozen and i’m just so not interested.

For example, selfies in cars? NO. I absolutely will not contact anyone who has a car selfie as their main profile photo. If it’s buried…

Not even remotely! I’m here because i can justify reading non-work related websites like this one because of the productivity and organizational advice. It’s a verrrrrry thin excuse, at best, but it lightens the burden of only reading Fierce Biotech, or Science Magazine, or Procedings of the National Academy of…

I KNOW RIGHT?

Last week i ordered a fitness tracker. Kept it less than a week, didn’t love it, returned it. Bought a new one. Love it.

In the old days i would have wasted the money by keeping the first one and having it sit on a shelf somewhere. Plus this new one was $33 and the first one was around $60, so i…

I don’t much get to follow them into commercial production, but i do very much enjoy the first plant run, usually for clinical trials material. Once that is completed we are rarely kept in the loop as to future production.

I usually start around the pre-NCSS, rat, dog and monkey tox development and end around PHII and…

Anecdata to back this up:

Our 3 hour practices are hard, yes, but the 20 minute warmup is by far the most challenging part, physically. By the end of practice we’re all pretty fatigued from the drills, but the running, burpees, mountain climbers, etc, we do for the first 20 minutes get the heart rate WELL above what…

Oy. This exercise just sent me from mildly anxious to full on panic mode.

What i want: To sell my house.

What it will take to get it: tons of spare time and about $10K to put into repairs.

What i have: 10 vacation days a year and about $2k emergency fund on hand.

I guess i’ll put it off another year :(

I didn’t buy it, but they now sell carbon-free sugar.

But are they chemical free??
