| Legalize it baby. Or whatever, decriminalize it at minimum. I understand that people have strong opinions on this, but for real I just don't see it. I'm not an "active" pot smoker, but I've smoked a mother load in the past and in any case I see no problem whatsoever with people smoking a b... |

| Aloe works well enough, I just apply that periodically and deal with the burn for a couple days until it subsides. I don't get horrible burns though, I tan pretty smoothly considering how pasty Irish I am and, at least in the past few years, have gotten pretty responsible with the sunblock. If I get... |

| Or are there other benefits to study besides working in the field you're studying? Some people seem to think so. I've met people who work in fields unrelated to their major yet they don't seem to regret it. They say it taught them to work long hours and better writing skills. This makes me think th... |

| How do they wangle unpaid OT for hourly employees? That's not a thing that's OK by any standard, as far as I know. Unpaid OT for salaried workers is absolutely a thing though, although it may be overblown. I'm sure it's very different in different places, but where I'm at it's pretty mild compared t... |

| 5'7" and 150 is fine as far as I'm concerned regardless of build, musculature, etc. I'm only a scratch taller than that (5'8.5" in bare feet) and I couldn't crack 150 when I was in the best shape of my adult life, back when I was 25-26. I didn't drink, I had kind of a sh***y diet but it wa... |

I was basically at the level that I could have hacked no prob D-3 in college, but as it... |

| For me, it's just been a matter of being mindful of the fact that if I smoke weed, I'm going to be slightly less fundamentally motivated to do whatever, and grinding through that is a small but critical piece of the puzzle. It's not immediately relevant I guess for me because I hardly ever smoke the... |

| Mine was kind of the opposite--I went to a school with like 26,000 undergrads and the vast majority of my classes were 50+ people (in intro classes sometimes as many as 600!). At that age, being able to blend into the background and just do my thing was amazingly helpful to me. I'm solid under press... |

| Private practice psychology has been the dream for me for the longest time. Probably not going to happen because I'm 32 years old and generally pretty stoked on not having to try to balance graduate school and work anymore or ever again. I basically lost all the years I had from 19-25 due to drugs e... |

What is your job?
I feel like they have a particular type of "engagement" in mind that is relative to your line of work; if that's the case, it's hard to advise without a sense of what the gig is. |

| I'd only outright ask for a raise if my job duties changed in a sense that would warrant one. But I'd look at that on a micro level, clearly s**t can get foisted on you in small increments etc. and if it adds up to where there's actual evidence to say "here's the difference in my general duties... |
