I started a new job at a nice-ish office, next to a pretty fancy mall. On my 3rd day, my colleagues invited me to lunch at the food court of the mall. A couple hours later, I started getting nauseous and sweaty. Had to rush to the bathroom a couple times, which looking back I was lucky it was coming out of one end instead of two. After the 2nd time, I thought I’d chance it and rush home rather than having to go through another ~2 hours of this at the office. Luckily I lived close to the office back then so I was able to make it home. But in my rush I forgot to tell my manager, just told a coworker sitting near my desk I wasn’t feeling well and left. I emailed my manager that night, telling him that I also wouldn’t be able to make it in the next day. So my very first week at this job, I was only there for 2.5 days before getting sick for 1.5 days. Not the best first impression.
I didn’t know until much later, but my manager told me that he thought I hated the job and was about to quit after a couple days.

In my case I then went to a local competition and just amazed at how quick and how young these kids are.
I haven’t used Spotify in years but back then I was getting annoyed at their recommendations/generated playlists. Instead of new music I liked they just create 4 playlists of music I already have in my own playlists or music I don’t like at all and not even similar to music I listen to. I tried Apple Music for free because of a device purchase and their generated playlists actually gave me new music that I liked. Haven’t looked back since
Buffy. I was the right age (or maybe a bit too young) when it aired and it was the first female-led show that I fell in love with.
