Workplace gossip has one goal. To elevate the person telling it by lowering others.

Are reward-based credit cards worth it?
All those purchases can add up to some significant amounts.
The answer lies in who is using the cards.
If you are a very disciplined consumer who uses their cards for convenience and not for retail therapy, it may be ok.
But buyer beware. The credit card companies are in business to make a profit, so if you are getting "Free Money," then some other chump is paying for it.
Credit cards make it easy for you to spend more. The average cash purchase is $22 vs. a whopping $112 for credit cards. Even if you get 5% back ($5.55), you are still out over $85. That is why the average American credit card debt is $6,028. If you carry a balance paying their exorbitant interest rates, you may want to consider doing some plastic surgery on your cards to rid yourself of the stress.

The last thing you should do when you are stressed at work is to eat. Are you having a stressful day at the job? It is go-go-go all day, and you are tempted to eat lunch at your desk.
Your body under stress has activated your Flight or Fight response and is diverting energy from your digestive system to respond to physical danger.
It usually makes you eat too fast, just shoving it down your mouth to make the next deadline. This can cause a myriad of health-related problems, including digestive disorders.
A working lunch is an oxymoron like jumbo shrimp.
It is called a lunch break for a reason. Most employees report that it gives them time to rest, recharge and focus on their tasks, making them more creative and enhancing their problem-solving skills.
Try eating your lunch away from your desk, and you will feel more energized to finish the day strong.

Achoo.
You feel a sneeze coming on, and you want to stop it.
A simple sneeze, especially now during a Pandemic, will stress almost everyone around you. Even worse, full-blown sneezing fit where you can't stop sneezing.
Sneezing is great for our bodies. It is a way to protect us by expelling unhealthy viruses and bacteria. A simple sneeze can travel at over 100 miles an hour and shoot 100,000 germs into the air. But not when you are in a crowd of people while you are wearing a mask. Yuck.
A simple way to stop the sneeze is to eat or drink something with a distinct flavor. Our Vegas nerve runs through the roof of our mouth, and by popping, for example, a strong breath mint into your mouth the moment you feel a sneeze coming on, it will cancel the signal.
I have had great success with salty foods like chips, sour fruit, strong mints, etc. I used to carry a strong cough drop in my pocket just in case I felt a sneeze coming on.
Remember, sneezes are healthy for our bodies and should not be suppressed when it is safe to sneeze.
