Fleur @Fleura (31474) • United Kingdom 13 Feb

Do you do jobs that you don’t really need to do, just because you can’t bear the way other people do it or the time they take to get around to it? I know I do this, especially with the laundry. If my partner does it, then when he...

Shavkat @Shavkat (140382) • Philippines 7 Apr 24

When I was still working in my previous jobs, I usually worked with teams. As they said, "Two heads are better than one" in doing certain projects. On the contrary, I prefer to work alone if the team does not need to. What do...
