I learned to repeatedly check for fork truck traffic before crossing any intersection and pause before walking around blind corners cause of working at a large assembly plant. I find myself doing it everywhere including grocery stores crossing aisles. Could have a worse one, at least this one’s a good safety practice.

The amount of Excel/spreadsheets I use in my hobbies and “leisure” time is massive. Otherwise, it’s mostly about having surrendered to the presence of online ads.

I work in risk management. I always have backup plans. Drives my SO a bit crazy sometimes.

As an ex-retail worker, yeah, lmao, I had to clench my fists and not re-hang the shirt on the floor when I was shopping yesterday. It took courage.

Couldn’t keep myself from correctly (re)organizing the notebooks, though. My excuse is I was already in the aisle and they won’t sell well if nobody can find them.

Worst consequence, I would name medical training and all the time spent learning the different body quadrants, how if the patient is in front of you, their left side is your right, etc. etc.

It took me a few weeks to really get that down and stop messing up my own notes. Now that I have it down, it is permanent.

I can no longer tell my left from my right. Ask me to raise my right hand and I will invariably raise my left without thinking, and I visibly have to think about it to work it out. I am a damn adult.

Thank god I can’t afford a car right now, or I’d wind up in Arkansas.

Except for food, I tend to date and initial anything I open. Pedialyte–initial and dated. Medicine–initial and dated. It’s definitely something that has to be done at my job, but is also kinda helpful at home. Oh, that isopropyl alcohol has been open for 2 years, better get a new one.
