Madalyn Parker wanted to take a couple days off work. She didnāt have the flu, nor did she have plans to be on a beach somewhere, sipping mojitos under a palm tree.
Parker, a web developer from Michigan, wanted a few days away from work to focus on her mental health.
She sent an email to her colleagues, telling them the honest reason why she was taking the time off.
āHopefully,ā she wrote to them, āIāll be back next week refreshed and back to 100%.ā
Soon after the message was sent, the CEO of Parkerās company wrote back
But perhaps the most silly-yet-surprisingly-heated household debate is the one in which we argue over which way to hang the toilet paper roll.
The āover or underā question has plagued marriages and casual acquaintances alike for over 100 years, with both sides convinced they have the soundest reasoning for putting their toilet paper loose end out or loose end under. Some people feel so strongly about right vs. wrong TP hanging that they will even flip the roll over when they go to the bathroom in the homes of strangers.
Contrary to popular belief, itās not merely an inconsequential preference. There is actually a ācorrectā way to hang toilet paper, according to health experts as well as the man who invented the toilet paper roll in the first place.
Is there any game show that allows contestants to royally embarrass themselves on national TV quite like āWheel of Fortuneā? Thereās always someone going viral for taking a big swing and missing on a phrase that seemed pretty apparent to the casual viewer.
And when you take a big loss on a āWheel of Fortuneā word puzzle, there are a lot of folks shaking their heads at home. More than 8 million people watch the game show every night.
The latest victim of the wheel is Gishma Tabari from Encino, California, whose fantasy-inspired whiff of a common phrase earned her a lot of groans and some support from those who thought her imagination was inspiring.
Weāve all been there. Got an interview you were pretty excited about but once sitting across from your new potential boss, you do one of three things. You blabber on incessantly due to nerves. You seem to have forgotten every single thing that would be pertinent to the job in which youāre interviewing. Or, you feel as if youāve somehow exited your body while you desperately attempt to appear normal but you know itās not working.
Some people are simply rockstars when it comes to interviews, while others consistently look like theyāre being interviewed against their will. It doesnāt seem to matter how many interviews they have under their belt, theyāre just a nervous quiet mess trying not to sweat through their shirt.
One woman found herself in the latter category of interviewees, but instead of having to continue her search on the nearest job board, she got the job. The CEO took to LinkedIn to explain why.
