Preparing things online

Dhruv Patel - TIME is Important

It’s not okay to send essential information only a few hours before arrival via WhatsApp.

During my travels, I sometimes stay at accommodations that use fully automated systems, with everything handled digitally and electronically.

I have one small—but actually quite significant—problem: everything is done at the last minute.

I have no problem with making the reservation and completing the check-in process online. I’m perfectly fine with that.

The problem is that I receive the accommodation details only a few hours before check-in, via WhatsApp.

If I have a problem with my phone or my Internet connection, I have no backup solution.

How could this be solved? The accommodation details could be sent one or two days in advance, followed by a reminder a few hours before arrival.

If I received the information in advance, I could save it in multiple places and have a backup available in case something goes wrong.

Salary comparison

de
SadyCat Littlepaws - Home Office Space

Sometimes, I see people comparing office desk jobs salaries with what janitors and cleaning personnel earn.

Let’s say you work an entry-level job and you compare with what a cleaning person earns. It might look like if the earnings are comparable, you have a bad deal.

But there are some important criteria for which the salary does not tell the whole picture:

  • Debatable, but if you have a job that requires you to sit at a desk, this means you tend to have a healthier life; it might be unhealthy to stand up and work most of the day;
  • You have a better social status;
  • Working indoors with chemical substances all day can’t be that good for your health;
  • An office job generally leads to better future job opportunities than working as a cleaner;
  • You tend to use your brain a lot in an office job, which might help future jobs;
  • Finally, you generally tend to earn a bit more; even if it’s not a lot, it’s still more than the cleaner job.

All-in-all, I think the above are important advantages of doing office work, even a bit boring one, rather than a cleaning job.

Regarding risks of being overtaken by artificial intelligence (AI) and/or robots, generally entry-level jobs tend to be the first to go. So, some robots might remove some cleaning workers’ jobs, while some AI programs might replace some entry-level office jobs.

Trips & Tips

Mike O'Sullivan - Money

A journey between Năvodari and Constanța Railway Station costs 12 lei.

A journey within Constanța costs 3 lei.

There are plans to introduce buses between Năvodari and Constanța managed by Constanța City Hall.

Previously, similar buses between Constanța and Mamaia cost the equivalent of two journeys within Constanța.

The distance from Constanța to Mamaia is roughly the same as the distance from Mamaia to Năvodari.

So, what did the residents of Năvodari ask for on Facebook?

They asked for the journey between Constanța Railway Station and Năvodari—which currently costs 12 lei and, according to the fare calculation formula, should cost at least 9 lei—to cost just 3 lei.

Despre uniformele școlare

de
barbat barbati clothes imbrăcăminte imbracaminte hainte clothing men

Cred că sunt adevărate ambele – și că haina îl face pe om și că nu îl face.

Nu îmi place binele forțat altora. Nu sunt de acord cu uniforma obligatorie sau cu un stil formal impus.

Dacă cineva dorește să își exprime respectul față de o instituție, asta e de admirat, dar nu aș impune acest lucru.

În altă ordine de idei, prioritar ar fi fost ca manualele să fie disponibile pentru școlari cu minim 2 luni înainte de începerea școlii, nu uniformele sunt esențiale.

Dar e mai ușor să ceri respect decât să îl oferi.

Sunt atâtea probleme fundamentale cu educația, nu aș începe cu uniformele.

De asemenea, contează enorm cum impui regula, oricare ar fi ea. Să zicem că cineva merge la școală cu adidași cu luminițe sau cu tricou cu Daffy Duck. (Făcut asta în generală) De acord că poate fi neadecvat, dar țipete sau trimis acasă nu rezolvă situația.
