I’ve gotten back into reading to decompress from work and limit my social media time.
What are your outlets to decompress?

Oh, I used to love reading. I still have book shelves filled with books that I’ve never opened. But I just can’t seem to quiet my mind or focus enough to read these days.

I’m in love with audiobooks! They decompress and you have both hands free to drive, eat, cook, etc. I try to find books by my favorite narrators and I could listen to Jane Austin repeatedly. Through your local library and the Libby and Hoopla app’s audiobooks are free.

I have been trying to spend more time outside and without my phone in my hand. I'll go for walks, ride my bike, or sometimes just take my dinner to the park to eat.

I used to be a novel person and I am back to it again. I love reading novels about social issues to decompress from work place as well.

Reading is definitely good, and I wish I had time to do more of it.

I've tried. I've got a Kindle Paperwhite and a Kindle tablet. I have hundreds of free, yet intersting looking books downloaded. But I am a traditionalist. I just like the feel of paper and the heft of a hardcover book.

Sometimes I will play NBA2K and school people in The Rec

Reading is such a great way to unwind! I like to mix it up with music and sometimes a bit of creative writing. What kind of books have you been into lately?

Does anyone else constantly get mistaken for a nurse? I get it, I'm 5'4 and Black and work in pediatrics, but the assumption and casual racism is kind of ridiculous when the actual nurse has just told you that the doctor's coming and then I walk in the door. Doesn't really help when I'm one of the only Black on-call physicians. Annoying.

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

How do Rolex waitlists work with respect to different models? Like if an AD could let me have a Sub, Exp 1 or 2, DJ, GMT, etc I would honestly take whatever is available first. Are there lists for specific models or is it sort of just one big pool?

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.
