THE HAPPIEST JOBS:These are the occupations in which people report the highest levels of satisfaction at, according to career experts…1. Physical Therapist2. Firefighter3. Teacher4. Teaching Assistant5. Quality Assurance Analyst Entertainment NewsFun Facts ✓ On average, it costs twice as much to dine out as it does to eat at home.✓ Walking uses a total of 200 muscles with every step you take.SHEET ABOUT DRYER SHEETS:Do you still toss in a dryer sheet every time you do your laundry? It might be time to leave that old habit behind. Some experts say that those sheets are doing more harm than good to your clothes, your dryer and, most importantly, to the environment. Patric Richardson (‘The Laundry Guy’ on Discovery+) says dryer sheets don’t actually make your clothes any softer, although it might feel that way, due to the fact that the sheets are coated with a chemical solution that transfers to your garments when heated up. That residue builds up over time and can contribute to clothing and towels smelling ‘musty’ or ‘stale’ even after they’ve been laundered. That film also builds up in your dryer, which will can affect the appliance’s effectiveness over time, and increase your utility bill. What’s more, the sheets themselves become litter that can’t be reused and don’t decompose easily. Try wool dryer balls instead, which are a more sustainable option, that can be reused for yearsActing Younger, Feeling youngerA 2017 study found that the key to feeling younger is acting younger – and occasionally sillier. Researchers in the UK polled adults on the effects of nostalgia and youthful behavior on mental and physical health, and nearly ¾ of respondents indicated that occasionally forgetting you’re an adult and tapping into a more immature mindset — be it watching old cartoons, pulling pranks on friends, or playing classic board games — was important for their health. Also effective: the simple act of being silly – by imitating others, making goofy faces, or blowing bubbles through a straw.WATER COOLER QUESTION:Question:  10% of us do THIS before going grocery shopping.

DID YOU KNOW?Workers get itchy feet around 18 months into a new job. A study of 5,000 employed adults found that’s the average point when employees come to realize exactly what their job prospects are — and whether it’s time to start thinking about finding something new. The leading causes for those itchy feet? Not being valued for their contributions, feeling like they’re underpaid, and deteriorating working conditions. And 18% said they experienced job doubt when they found themselves working too many hours. The workers reported that once they started feeling frustrated, they started looking for new work, on average, within 4 months — and it typically took just over 3 months to land a new position.Fun Facts ✓ The modern salute is believed to be derived from the way in which French Knights would greet each other by lifting the visors of their helmets.✓ In America, it is a federal crime to use your roommate or friend’s Netflix account.ARE THE TIMES A-CHANGIN’?A study suggests that putting our clocks ahead to daylight saving, and leaving them there, could help fight climate change. The findings, published in Environmental Research Letters, show how researchers simulated the heating and cooling demands of office buildings for 15 US cities, and analyzed the impact that daylight saving could have until the year 2050. They determined that under current climate conditions, daylight saving time reduces cooling demand by 5.9%, but increased heating demand by 4.4%. But as the environment warms, they found that daylight saving time could reduce cooling demand by up to 5.4%, while increasing heating demand by 3.2%. In both cases daylight saving results in a net decrease in energy used. They say that moving our clocks forward permanently by one hour could be a tool to help reduce carbon emissions and adapt to the climate crisis.THE BANK OF MOM & POP:When you find yourself with too much month left at the end of your money, do you ask mom and dad to help? Apparently, a lot of us do. In a poll, more than 3 in 10 (35%) adults admit their parents help with at least one bill. The survey of 2,000 Americans found that the top 3 expenses that parents help their grown-up kids with are rent (19%), groceries (19%) and utilities (16%). The good news for mom and dad is that 70% of those respondents plan to take on these bills themselves within the next 2 years. On the other hand, 30% admit they’ll just keep on accepting their parents’ financial aid until they’re told otherwise. Half said they struggle to limit unnecessary spending. They also face difficulty budgeting for unexpected expenses (45%) and remembering to pay bills on time (40%).WATER COOLER QUESTION:Question:  A survey asked people what important event they’d skip if they could see their team in the Super Bowl – and 15% said THIS.

Here are some of the answers…✗ Warehouse work:  “Your fellow co-workers are tired and overworked. The pay is just enough to live…but you will often be tired due to long hours…no room for growth within the company, and management is concerned more with production numbers than your health and safety.”✗ Oil industry:  “That’s a rollercoaster of a career where you will be job hopping forever, moving, or looking for a job often. Whenever the oil prices tank…you may lose your job.”✗ Film industry: “…there is no job security. Oh, you got a job on a season of a TV show? Enjoy it while it lasts because 7 months from now, you’re going to be looking for a new job again once the season ends!”✗ Lawyer:  (unless your family owns a law firm) “I have” 4+ years in business and still trying to find my right connects and industry links. My employer treats me like (crap), no paid extra hours, tons of paperwork and even small mistakes could throw away everything you have worked so hard for.”✗ Physical therapist:  “It’s a doctoral degree now, with all the costs associated with that. Jobs are always available but the pay will vary from $45k to $120k. Raises are non existent. “✗ Cook/chef:  “Unless you like (crap) pay and long hours of sweaty work on your feet under extremely high pressure and ridiculous deadlines. Also, good luck getting any respect from people older than you.”✗ Teaching:  “Having homework for the rest of your life is nightmarish, not to mention all the other (crap) wrong with it. Thank god I got out. I taught at community colleges…so in a way I had the “easy” version…Can’t imagine how anyone deals with parents and public school (crap).”✗ I.T.:  “Don’t do it. If you like computers, be a coder. You’ll make 5 times as much, and you won’t have to deal with 3 am calls because some (idiot’s) router needs to be restarted.”WATER COOLER QUESTION:Question:  36% of people claim they’ve never had THIS for breakfast.
