Low-cholesterol diet

Filed under: Life — izabela @ 5:30 pm

My doctor for the second time suggested that I start cholesterol lowering diet. He was rather insitant this time, as he proposed cholesterol lowering medication. So, I think I will try. Thus, I started to do some web searches what I can eat and what to avoid. My husband summarized the information, that I can eat whatever is green. Instantly I was wondering if I have to wait for my meat to moldy.

Monday driving

Are you the person who also thinks driving on Monday morning is different from any other day, maybe only with the exception of Friday afternoon? Everybody is sleepy behind the wheel, irritated and making as many mistakes as possible. You yourslef including. Anyway, today I was trying to drive the speed limit (25 mph BTW). Of course it resulted in people tailgaiting, what always irritates me incredibly. Anyway, my husbund find a solution for such behavior. Try using a windshield spray, as if you just wanted to clean your windshield because it got dirty :).

Mail rooms

Filed under: University — izabela @ 11:25 am

In US (I don’t know about other countries, but not in Poland, for sure) the business mail is received in special rooms called ‘mail rooms’. They are usually situated in easy-to-reach-for-strangers places of the building, unlocked, no security whatsoever. The same room, at least in our department, is design to recived all the packages. Regardless value. So I was a part of the situation as following:

IT person: ‘I will take the rest of packages later. Nobody will take them anyway’

Other person: ‘I will write your name on it to make sure’

Me: ‘So which are the packages we are not supposed to take?’

Just to explain it a bit more, these where large boxes with Dell mark all over.
