Thankfully never, not sure how I would have recovered from that one! Did catch it pretending it was on fire a few times. It was alerting the local FD our alarms were triggered when on site, it was quiet an no burning was going on. They called a couple different times about it and even showed up once... in case I was lying? Bet safe than sorry I guess.

Might check into hotel reception too. I worked nights at one, and my main duty was making sure the building didn't catch fire or disappear while waiting to do the audit and start morning coffee before I left.

Right?! All these people who think that there are just well paying jobs, that cover your expenses plus some, are just sitting there while we ignore them and choose to be poor.

I'm in my 40's going back to school again trying to do better. I've changed jobs roughly every 4-6yrs to get better pay and hours. I got stupid lucky to find 2 people to buy a house with right before the market went to shit. I'm making better money than ever in my life but still living the same. Gas, taxes, food kept a steady rise, along with the school loans I never made the promised income for (from the schools recruiters, career aids, etc) thus am still repaying.

Poor people aren't lazy. We're just poor.

Imma bet most of us are the kind of people that would never take advantage of someone else for our personal gain. Most old acquaintances I've met back up with who are doing much better off, I can't say that I would do what they did for it. I've been called things and scoffed at when I've said I have personal morals, and told how it interferes with making real money. Absolutely not saying anyone making good money isn't moral. It does narrow down the scope of opportunities though.

Charcuterie's are are always a win, especially with a bonus peanut butter sandwich!

I had to go look those up, I had not heard of them They look tasty but, damn they are a little pricey, at least in my area. Are they pretty good sized/filling?

If i have the time to wait on noodles, spaghetti is a staple. They even make frozen meatballs you can cook in the sauce while it heats up!

I have done the cup and my own bowl with it. I make sure to have my noodles broke in half in my bowl before I pour my water in, then egg. With the cup it gets a little messier because of space but still doable.

Totally replied to the wrong thought chain, I pour boiling water in my cup and drop the egg. Usually once it's cool enough for me to handle, about 10mins-ish egg has cooked through

Yogurt and granola, with a side of nuts and cheese for an portable, decent protein, heavy snack/light meal. Or, salad with chopped lunch meat and some cheese on top, so I can again get some easy protiens. I also keep some decent frozen meals in case I'm short on cook time and need a hot heavy meal. There are work gaps where I can barely spend time at home and the bagged "family meals" of pasta or mixed veggies are awesome portioned out for multiple meals.
