  • There are definitely people who can’t handle it. It makes sense in a way; pretty much everybody will lose it once they start starving, so there’s definitely a line. Some people just have that line much closer. It seems like a physical tolerance, not really a psychological or character trait.

    My spouse is like that and can’t go more than 6 hours or so without food. I’m the opposite and can easily go more than a day without before getting cranky, but I assume that’s from a lot of practice as a kid.






  • Absolutely. My spouse looks at me like I’m crazy for putting black blankets on the floor in front of all the south-facing windows, but it’s a noticeable difference in those rooms. I also keep the leftover pasta and kettle water out until it’s cooled down instead of dumping hot water down the drain. Helps to avoid running the humidifier too.


  • Every time people ask me where the architecture is heading I think, “How should I know? I just graduated; someone above me will figure that out.” Then I realize it’s been almost 20 years and I am actually expected to know how databases work and I am one of the most senior in the department. I feel like this goose a lot.
