Side Jobs

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 24 Oct 11

Side jobs are paying tasks that you take up in addition to your primary job. I currently work in the kennels of a local veterinary clinic, but I do some petsitting on the site. Petsitting involves staying at another family's house...

Making half of a pot of coffee.

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 4 Dec 10

This is a silly question, but it has been on my mind all day. My boss sometimes comes in on Saturdays to hang out in his office, and he likes coffee. I did not want to make a whole pot, as he would be the only one drinking it this...

What is the best way to treat mosquito bites?

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 3 Oct 10

I know that I should not be itching them, but these are irritatingly itchy and I have succeeded in making them much worse. I have been taking Benadryl to distract me from the itch, but I am wondering what I could do that would be...

The feeling of falling.

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 25 Sep 10

Some nights, when I am lying in bed and beginning to drift off, I get the sudden feeling that my body is falling forward, as though from a great height. I am generally startled and my heart is racing. Do you ever experience this...

Late night snack?

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 2 Aug 10

I plan on going to bed within the next few hours, but my stomach is getting rather persistent in its demand for food. I have been told that it is not good to eat so close to bed time, but I have also been told that I should not...

Do you ever wake up and feel that you have had too much sleep?

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 1 Aug 10

I know that sleep is a great thing, but is there such a thing as oversleeping? I generally get around six hours of sleep a night (due to balancing my job and a volunteer hobby of mine), but over the past two days I have gotten...

I can see again! (New glasses, yay!)

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 24 Jun 10

It has been over three years, but I finally got a new pair of glasses. My vision was getting to the point that I could not read street signs until I got up to them, and I had to squint in order to see the text on the computer. My...

I feel a bit disappointed.

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 31 May 10

Yesterday my mother told me that we would be going to the zoo with our visiting family, and that we could pet a tiger there. I was really excited about it and I could not stop talking about it with them. I am also working this...

I think I may have food poisoning.

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 30 May 10

My day follows as such: I had work this morning, but just an hour of letting the dogs out, feeding them, and letting them out again. I get home, and me and a few others leave for the beach to have lunch with family. I order a...

Weird drink combinations: what do you like?

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 26 Apr 10

Do you tend to drink soda, tea, and the like, as it is prepared, or if given the chance do you prefer to mix it with something else? I am not going to include mixed alcoholic drinks because they are already mixed- unless you have...

When do you shower?

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 24 Apr 10

When I was only a student I would shower in the mornings to help wake me up for the day. My days only consisted of walking from class to class. Now I prefer to shower in the evenings or late at night. I work in an active job where...

I did not get much sleep last night.

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 21 Feb 10

Dogs and cats always know what time it is, but they have an interesting way of telling it. Rather than being able to say, "It is 05.30," they say, "The human usually gets up around this time." Rather than saying, "It is 18.00,"...
