As an aside on the memorization thing, I would argue for most humans we haven't lost an iota of memorization, it is simply dispersed over a wider area.

I don't listen to just local May Day and Harvest songs, church choirs, and whatever performances a traveler brought, on any given day a 30min commute each way will play 20 songs and tomorrow that's another 20 songs, and the next day another 20. And I don't have to just remember the rhythm and pace of mass but the words of the books, news articles, social media updates of friends, menus of local restaurants, current locations of favoured food trucks, etc that I encounter every week if I want to apply that knowledge when I encounter/plan something next week. Talking about the Hunger Games movie isn't just remembering the plot and pacing, its recalling Battle Royale, the social standards of when it came out and the inspirations of when the books were written, as well as the other works of the actors. And then I have to do that for hundreds of movies and thousands of episodes of TV. Just look how much there is to think about, know, and retain just with the MCU. And, I, personally, *suck* at modern media trivia and yet still am somehow the person people turn to for that very thing because in certain areas I retain a ton of it.

And my job isn't just painting or leatherworking or carpentry or farming. As an accountant I have to be familiar with GAAP and SOX and the tax rules of the IRS and sales and use, property, income, and payroll taxes of 1 to 50 states (and hundreds to thousands of municipalities) and also IFRS and FAR if I end up in an applicable organization, and that doesn't even begin to touch on how many regulations are applied to the field in medical insurance or government and grant. And then knowing how to use five of the major seven ERP systems I may be asked to work in depending on who I work for, and then the dozens of additional, specialty softwares/services standard to accounting work to say nothing of the advanced Excel skills needed and how that translates in a shared work environment or ports to Sheets and other softwares. And how to use general productivity and communication softwares and the corporate policies and rules of wherever I work. And I also provide software support and low level technical support and I have to know HR basics and local employment laws and management techniques and the specifics of the specialists who report to me or are on my team so I can cover them when they go on holiday. And if I am doing client work I have to do it all for multiple, often completely different, companies all with their own set of additional softwares and services I need to remember not just how to use but how to read their data output (fuck you Amazon and your completely deranged three seperate ways of recording sales and costs in one single fucking period). And then I go home and write, and draw, and leatherwork, and woodwork, and garden food crops.

So yeah, people make jokes about people reusing the same password for everything but good gods, count how many things require you to have a password and I bet you while it may not be the Odyssey, it is pretty well past Prufrock.

So yeah, give me the bloody tool to help me remember whether I need milk from the store or not. (But don't try to force me to use the thing that hallucinates penguin milk)

generative AI literally makes me feel like a boomer. people start talking about how it can be good to help you brainstorm ideas and i’m like oh you’re letting a computer do the hard work and thinking for you???

Newcrest Fresh Start - Weeks 15 and 16

We are back to check in on Grace Anansi; Newcrest's resident spell caster and Magic and Crystal Shop proprietor.

The Sims Municipal Committee acknowledges that this is after a brief administrative delay as a government mandated software update roll out caused havoc behind the scenes of the Newcrest Fresh Start Scheme. (New update briefly broke the players game).

When we last saw Grace she managed to be the first official registered new business owner in Newcrest, successfully setting up her Magic shop which will enable all occult sims in the area to use their powers and upgrade their skill tree. She also managed to start building her shop, though she currently only has enough room for a bed and bathroom facilities, leaving her wares and customers outside. With winter on its way Grace has just a week to expand the property enough to bring everything inside.

In order to help her spend more time crafting and collecting materials she starts the week by hiring some help. Julia Wright needs the extra cash to support her through her final semesters at University.

Julia is fantastic with the customers, which means Grace even has energy at the end of the day to offer some paid gemology mentoring, indulge in some hobbies and practice her spell casting skills. With cash steadily coming in Grace is able to slowly expand her building, soon creating a cosy and welcoming indoor shop floor.

Outside of work hours Grace spends a bit more time romancing Keith, who she met and hit it off with when we last met her. Grace is a romantic sim, so saving up for a double bed was a big priority.

By Winterfest Eve the magic shop is established enough for the busy flow of holiday shoppers, even if some of them get a bit too competitive over the stock.

With Julia's help the last shopping day before Winterfest goes smoothly. Grace even finds the time to craft some gifts for her fellow occult neighbours Kerri and Kristoff.

The next day grace takes a well deserved day off and drops off her gifts. Kristoff is grateful for his new moonstone ring, which will help him manage his thirst for plasma as long as he can keep it charged. Grace gets to meet Kristoff's infant twins. Whilst she is happy her new friend is enjoying fatherhood, she's not sure parenthood is for her.

The evening is spent on a romantic snowy walk with Keith, and the pair decide to make their relationship official!

Just as things were going incredibly well for Grace, life deals a devastating blow. Not two days after making Keith her official boyfriend, Grace receives an early morning to call to let her know he tragically passed away.

This is a bit of an emotional roller coaster for Grace. She I incredibly sad but as a non-committal sim with a single and loving it relationship she can't help feel a little relieved to not be tied down, even if it the circumstances are tragic. This makes her feel guilty, and all the conflicting emotions leave her incredibly tense and unable to do anything.

Some kind words from her new friend and future neighbour Yuki Behr help relieve the tension, but the sadness still lingers and begins to affect her work. She finds herself botching a piece of jewellery and unable to charm the customers. Even the new spell she's learnt, Delicioso, fails her, producing nothing but a sad spoiled hot dog.

The week ends with a full blown blizzard. Grace figures there's no point opening and risking the health and safety of her staff and customers. She takes the time to catch up on crafting and offers a private mentoring session to any sims who braved the journey to shop.

It's enough to finish the exterior walls of her shop/home and start making the second floor habitable for her living space. There's lots to do before she has the magical shop and apartment of her dreams, but we leave her with the feeling that things are starting to take shape. It's now time to check in again with the Green family, and their community farm.

I have been job searching for about a year. I have almost 15yrs of customer service experience. Over 10yrs of management & supervisory experience. Some of the best references in the world. & a jill-of-all-trades & continue to add to my repertoire. I've never gone to college, have gone to trade school & have my GED.

During interviews & call backs I have been told:

"You have too much experience. You're overqualified. But we could justify hiring you if you had a degree."

So essentially, I am too aware to be taken advantage of. But if I were thousands of dollar in debt & had a shmancy piece of paper - it's suddenly fine to treat me less than in exchange for a paycheck.

Here are other observations during my job hunt:

Most places are short-staffed & it's not due to a lack of employees. People have realized their worth & it's hard to find people who haven't. They also don't want to pay multiple people - when they can find a singular person to do all of it.

Positions that don't require a degree & never really did, suddenly having those degrees is being enforced. & not only that, having certifications to reinforce those degrees is becoming prevalent (looking at you SHRM).

Licenses that employers paid for - you are now responsible for. If you can't afford the hundreds & even thousands of dollars for them. Maybe we can just garnish it from your paycheck?

How it used to be difficult to find a full time job? Now it's difficult to find part time. They want you to work 10-14hr shifts (even in retail stores & offices). It's even more mandatory that you work weekends & holidays. & if not consistent weekends, you have floating weekends.

Well known companies offering work from home (remote) & hybrid - you have to use your own devices. Because they won't provide you with devices. Then you have to download their system software. Which they can use to spy on you even on your off time because it's on your personal devices.

Positions that don't require & never required a driver's license - now do. So disabled people like me can't do a job we're capable of doing because we don't meet a legit requirement. I honestly believe it's so the manager can use you like a personal assistant on top of your regular job.

Most insurance companies (like Colonial Life) are now full fledged pyramid schemes. I went to a group hiring event & every five seconds was smacked with a red flag.

There's more, lots more, but I could write a book & don't feel like it right now.

What Makes a Good Attendance Management System?

Introduction

An Attendance Management System plays a crucial role in modern workforce management. Businesses, regardless of size, need an efficient system to track employee attendance, ensure compliance with labor laws, and eliminate payroll errors.

Specialties with the Best Work-Life Balance: Finding Harmony Between Career and Personal Life

In today’s fast-paced world, achieving a healthy work-life balance has become a priority for many individuals. Striking the right balance between work and personal life not only helps in maintaining physical and mental well-being but also improves overall job satisfaction and productivity. While every job comes with its own set of challenges, some specialties stand out for offering more flexibility, lower stress levels, and greater autonomy. Here are some specialties known for their outstanding work-life balance.

Specialties with the Best Work-Life Balance - top 8

1. Technology and IT Jobs

The tech industry has long been recognized for providing flexibility and good work-life balance, especially in roles like software development, data analysis, and web development. Many tech companies offer remote work opportunities, flexible hours, and a results-oriented work environment. This autonomy allows professionals to manage their time and personal lives more effectively.

Moreover, the high demand for tech workers means that there’s plenty of room for growth and career advancement, making it a rewarding yet balanced field to be in.

2. Education and Teaching

While teaching can certainly be demanding, it also comes with a well-defined schedule that allows for personal time. Teachers typically enjoy long breaks during the summer and holidays, which give them the opportunity to recharge. Additionally, many schools are adopting more flexible scheduling practices, giving teachers a bit more freedom to manage their work-life balance.

Teachers also benefit from working in environments where they can foster creativity and contribute positively to society. The emotional fulfillment of impacting students' lives makes the role both rewarding and manageable.

3. Healthcare: Nursing and Physical Therapy

Healthcare is an industry known for its long shifts and occasional stress, but there are specialties within healthcare that offer better work-life balance. For instance, nurses working in outpatient clinics or physical therapists who work in rehabilitation centers often have more predictable hours compared to those in emergency settings.

These professionals enjoy opportunities to take on part-time roles or more flexible hours, making it easier to balance their personal commitments with their careers.

4. Marketing and Communications

Many roles in marketing and communications, such as content writing, social media management, or digital marketing, offer excellent work-life balance, especially in the growing trend of remote or hybrid work environments. These positions often come with flexible schedules and deadlines that can be met with proper planning, allowing employees to enjoy more personal time.

The ability to work from home or have flexible hours is a major perk, especially for those who want to dedicate time to family or other personal interests.

5. Human Resources (HR)

Human resources professionals enjoy a stable work environment with a healthy balance between professional and personal life. In many companies, HR roles come with a set schedule and rarely require overtime. This makes it easier for HR specialists to manage their time effectively and maintain a well-rounded life outside of work.

Additionally, HR professionals often work in an environment that encourages personal development, creating a fulfilling career with manageable expectations.

6. Freelancing and Consulting

Freelancers and consultants have the flexibility to set their own schedules, pick and choose their clients, and work from the comfort of their homes. This autonomy gives them a level of control over their work-life balance that is hard to find in traditional roles.

Whether it’s freelance writing, web development, graphic design, or business consulting, freelancers often experience less stress and more satisfaction as they have the freedom to prioritize personal commitments while maintaining a successful career.

7. Finance and Accounting (with Remote Opportunities)

While some roles in finance are demanding, there are certain positions in accounting, financial analysis, and auditing that offer great work-life balance, especially if they allow for remote work or flexible schedules. Many accounting firms offer their employees the ability to work from home, giving them control over their time.

These roles typically come with a structured workflow that can be easily managed, reducing the need for long hours in the office and offering more time for personal life.

8. Creative Roles (Graphic Design, Photography, Writing)

Creative professions often provide the flexibility of self-employment or working on a freelance basis, which gives individuals the power to control their own schedules. Whether you're a graphic designer, photographer, or writer, these roles often allow you to set your own pace and take on projects that align with your personal preferences.

This autonomy not only leads to a balanced work-life dynamic but also provides the opportunity to pursue personal passions while still earning a living.

The Importance of Staying Informed

While choosing the right career is crucial for work-life balance, it's equally important to stay informed about the best practices and trends that can help maintain harmony between work and personal life. Websites like Light Pink Care provide invaluable advice on self-care, stress management, and maintaining balance in both personal and professional life.

Additionally, platforms like Forbes and Inc. often feature articles that explore the latest career trends and how professionals in various fields are managing their time. Continuous reading of these articles can provide you with fresh perspectives and strategies to optimize your work-life balance.

Conclusion

Achieving a great work-life balance depends on choosing the right profession and understanding how to manage your time effectively. Whether you’re in technology, education, healthcare, or the creative arts, the key to a fulfilling career lies in finding the right mix of professional satisfaction and personal happiness. Staying informed through helpful resources like Light Pink Care and other informative websites can offer valuable insights to help you maintain this balance.

Why Cloud Computing is the Backbone of Digital Transformation?

In this ever-evolving technological world, cloud computing has become more than just a meaningless jargon — it’s the foundation of digital transformation.

With the shift from traditional brick-and-mortar to daily-used-digital-operations, businesses of all sizes are realizing that staying competitive means embracing technology.

But you might be asking, “Is cloud computing really necessary for my business, or is it just a trend?”

The truth: cloud computing is not just important; it’s essential for your business to survive and grow in the 21st century.

But, if you’re new to the world of digital transformation and have questions like: “How does cloud computing fit my business description?” let’s dive into why it’s crucial for your future and growth in this digital age.

But before we get into the nitty-gritty of how cloud computing powers digital transformation, let’s have a basic overview of both of them first.

What is Digital Transformation & Cloud Computing?

Digital Transformation is the process by which companies integrate digital technologies into all areas of their business — significantly changing how they operate and deliver value to customers.

Digital transformation isn’t just about having a website or using social media — it’s about leveraging technology to improve everything from customer interactions to internal processes.

Cloud Computing, on the other hand, refers to delivering computing services (like storage, databases, networking, software) over the internet (called the “cloud”) instead of relying on local servers or personal computers.

The cloud gives businesses access to advanced technologies without needing to maintain expensive hardware and software systems.

In a nutshell, digital transformation and cloud computing work together that helps drive growth, efficiency, and innovation.

With the basic foundation in mind, let’s explore exactly why cloud computing is considered the “backbone” of digital transformation.

The Role of Cloud Computing in Digital Transformation

· Improved Access to Data — Anytime and Anywhere

In today’s fast-paced business world, data is everything.

Whether you’re analyzing customer feedback, monitoring sales, or tracking supply chain performance, the ability to see accurate, real-time data is crucial.

That’s where cloud computing is really handy.

Unlike traditional methods where data might be stored on individual devices or on-site servers, cloud computing centralizes data storage, making it accessible from any device, anywhere, at any time — so long as there’s an internet connection.

This gives businesses the flexibility to make quick, data-driven decisions, regardless of the location of their teams.

Whether you’re a salesperson on the road or a manager working from home, the cloud storage enables you to tap into real-time data from your laptop or phone — in-person or remotely.

· Better collaboration between teams

Cloud-based tools such as Slack, Trello, Google Meet etc. make it easier for employees to collaborate in real-time, whether they’re working together on a document or connecting with clients.

Changes can be made instantly, boosting productivity and streamlining communication. This eliminates the need for endless email exchanges or waiting for updates.

It’s also especially valuable for businesses working on international projects or teaming up for events, making sure there’s smooth coordination.

· Flexibility and easy to scale

One of the biggest benefits of cloud computing is its ability to adjust to a business’s needs.

Unlike old-school IT systems, where companies had to buy expensive hardware upfront to meet demands, cloud services allow businesses to scale up or down as needed.

This means they only pay for the resources they actually use.

For e.g., a retail business might see a spike in online orders during the holiday season.

Now, with cloud computing, they can quickly increase their capacity to handle the extra traffic without having to purchase new servers or worry about running out of space.

And, once the demand drops, they can reduce their resources, saving money.

· Cost-savings for all types of businesses

Cloud computing offers businesses a cost-effective solution by eliminating the need to invest in expensive physical IT infrastructure.

Traditionally, companies had to purchase servers, storage, and other hardware upfront, as well as cover ongoing maintenance and upgrade costs. With cloud computing, this isn’t the case anymore.

Now, businesses pay only for the resources they use on a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) basis, which helps optimize their spending.

· Much better security

When it comes to cloud computing, security is often a top concern for businesses.

That’s why there’s a reason cloud providers invest heavily in advanced security protocols to protect sensitive data and make sure it complies completely with industry standards.

From encryption to multi-factor authentication, cloud services are designed with security features that many businesses would struggle to apply on their own.

The cloud also offers automatic updates and timely security patches, making sure your systems are always up to date.

In fact, many credible online platforms like Quick Certified offer various programs like Cloud Computing Bootcamp.

These programs teach the fundamentals and security protocols of the “cloud”, helping businesses and individuals understand how to protect and manage data in the cloud.

· Data recovery is not an issue anymore

Cloud backups play a critical role in maintaining business continuity, especially for industries that need to have constant uptime — like finance or healthcare.

According to a study conducted by Statista, around 91% of organizations stated that they used backups to protect their business’ databases.

This is because in case of a system failure, cyberattack, or even a natural disaster, having data securely stored and backed up in the cloud ensures that businesses can quickly recover and minimize disruptions.

Cloud services often distribute backup data across multiple locations, so even if one data center is stops working, operations can still continue, reducing downtime and maintaining access to critical services.

Outlook of Cloud Computing as an IT Professional

As businesses continue to embrace cloud computing, the demand for skilled professionals in cloud technologies is increasing at a rapid pace.

Let’s say you’re an IT professional looking to expand your skills, enrolling in programs like the Cloud Computing Bootcamp are your best bet learning the ins-and-outs of cloud infrastructure.

Doing so wont only prepare you succeed in a cloud-driven market, but will also prepare you as a competitive candidate in the IT job market.

The Bottom Line

In today’s fast-changing world, digital transformation is a must for businesses. At the heart of this change is cloud computing.

Cloud services make it easier to grow, work together, access data in real-time, and keep information secure — all while saving money.

This means as businesses face more challenges and demands, using the cloud is no longer a matter of if, but when.

So, taking in all the above-given info, are you ready to make the switch to the cloud and transform your business?

Maximizing Holiday Sales: Essential Logistics Strategies for Diwali, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday

The holiday season brings immense joy for consumers and represents a critical revenue opportunity for businesses. Major shopping events like Diwali, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday create a surge in demand, making effective logistics crucial for success. In the logistics industry, this period highlights the need for reliable, flexible, and scalable solutions to meet rising consumer expectations.

Importance of Diwali, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday for Businesses

Diwali: The Festival of Lights

Diwali is one of the most significant shopping seasons in India and surrounding regions. As consumers prepare for celebrations, demand for gifts, home decor, electronics, and apparel skyrockets. Logistics companies play a pivotal role in ensuring timely and reliable deliveries, helping businesses maintain customer satisfaction during this bustling season.

Black Friday: Kicking Off the Holiday Shopping Season

In Western countries, Black Friday marks the start of the holiday shopping frenzy. With enticing discounts and deals driving high sales volumes, effective logistics management becomes essential. Businesses need speed, accuracy, and agility to ensure products reach customers promptly amidst the surge in demand.

Cyber Monday: The eCommerce Powerhouse

Following Black Friday, Cyber Monday emphasizes eCommerce, intensifying the demand for fast, accurate shipping. With consumers increasingly expecting same-day or next-day delivery, logistics providers must be equipped to support free eCommerce businesses in meeting tight delivery deadlines and fulfilling orders accurately.

Logistics Strategies to Maximize Holiday Sales

1. Prepare Early and Forecast Demand

Early preparation is key. Businesses should collaborate with logistics partners to accurately forecast demand by analyzing past trends and sales data. This proactive approach ensures that the right products are in stock and ready for shipment.

2. Enhance Technology for Real-Time Tracking

Investing in a robust tracking system is vital during peak seasons. Customers expect visibility over their orders, and real-time tracking enhances the customer experience by reducing inquiries and improving delivery efficiency.

3. Offer Speedy and Flexible Delivery Options

Flexible delivery options, such as next-day, same-day, or scheduled deliveries, are essential during the holiday rush. Partnering with a reliable logistics provider enables retailers to cater to customer preferences effectively.

4. Implement Warehouse Optimization

Optimizing warehouse operations is critical for handling increased holiday demand. Streamlining storage, picking, and packing processes can significantly reduce handling time and ensure accurate order fulfillment.

5. Scale Capacity with Seasonal Demand

Logistics companies should have scalable solutions to handle the holiday rush. Options like temporary warehouses, additional delivery personnel, or partnerships with local carriers can enhance capacity during peak periods, ensuring a seamless customer experience.

6. Emphasize Cross-Border Capabilities

With the globalization of shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, businesses need reliable international logistics support. Partnering with logistics companies experienced in cross-border shipping can help expand market reach and ensure timely deliveries to international customers.

7. Ensure Robust Returns Management

An efficient returns process is vital for customer satisfaction. Streamlining reverse logistics can enhance the customer experience, even after the purchase, encouraging future sales.

Operational Tips for Logistics During the Holiday Rush

Inventory Management

Effective inventory management systems are essential for tracking stock levels and preventing overselling. Utilizing inventory software helps maintain accurate records, ensuring product availability and minimizing delays.

Customer Communication

Transparent communication is key during the holiday season. Automated notifications and real-time updates enhance customer trust and satisfaction, allowing logistics providers to manage expectations effectively.

Support Sustainable Practices

Offering eco-friendly solutions, such as sustainable packaging and optimized delivery routes, appeals to environmentally conscious consumers and can set a logistics company apart from competitors.

Boost Customer Service Support

The holiday season sees an increase in customer inquiries. Implementing chatbots or expanding customer service teams can streamline support, ensuring quick resolutions and maintaining high customer satisfaction.

Working in the creative industries: is freelancing the road to success?

What does it mean to be a freelancer?

A freelancer is someone who isn’t a part of a company so they don’t earn money like someone employed under a business, they earn money on a per job basis so they only make an earning from short term contracts that they go out to try and find for themselves. The jobs that freelancers get are often short and temporary so they’ll often try to have multiple jobs at once.

What are the key skills required of a freelancer?

Communication is a key skill for freelancing as it is what will help you get in touch with clients and it will help when either you or the client want to share how you think the project could be improved.

Industry knowledge is important for freelancers as they are often working independently and will have little guidance so some industry knowledge could grant the confidence needed to seek out jobs and be able to present yourself in a way to get said jobs. 

Being able to market yourself is a key skill as making a strong brand for yourself will draw clients to you and if you can clearly communicate what you’re capable of, clients will appreciate that. Knowledge of social media can help you learn what will bring the most attention towards you and your work as well as benign enticing to companies that seek to improve their social media. 

Being able to negotiate is key to a freelancer as it ensures that you and your client can come to an understanding on what expectations there should be on timing, workload, compensation and any other stipulations that could come up. 

Project management is vital as freelancers typically would work on multiple projects at once so they’ll need to be able to stay organised, stay proactive and goal oriented so that they could stay on top of when each project is due and how to prioritise them.

What are the benefits and drawbacks of freelancing?

As a freelancer you have the ability to choose your own hours so if you have any other commitments that you need to take care of then you are free to work around them. You can choose where to work from as a freelancer so if you choose to work from home that means money and time that would’ve been spent on a commute can be spent elsewhere. 

Unlike in a job that’s attached to a company you get to decide what your own income is, an artist can decide what prices they set their commissions at and how many they want to take on and how often they want to take them on and should they need a sudden influx of money they could sell off designs they have laying about to others.

As a freelancer you aren’t forced to work with any annoying coworkers because you get to choose who you work with, of course there will be some difficult clients here and there but you’ll find yourself naturally working with/for people you get along with. A freelancer gets to decide what projects they work on so if they don’t like the look of one they can just avoid it and just look for projects they feel passionate about instead.

A freelancer doesn’t receive the benefits that a person working under a company would such as health insurance or paid holiday which means in an emergency freelancers need to have money saved away just in case. Since freelance jobs are short and temporary freelancers have to be always on a job hunt or they could be left without an income for a period of time.

As income is on a per job basis freelancers can have a very irregular income and that may become an issue for them when dealing with regular expenses like rent or software subscriptions that they would then use to make their income. The irregularity of a freelancer's income can’t be helped especially when dealing with slow to pay clients that freelancers then need to chase up after completing a job for them.

When someone becomes a freelancer they also become responsible for everything to do with their work and since there isn’t anyone above them, they have far less pressure on them to get work done which may then lead to slacking off and rush jobs which then gives them a terrible reputation with their client which could spread to other potential clients, hurting at their chances of further work. A freelancer is responsible for seeking out their own jobs and it can be quite competitive to find work so someone like an artist may decide to lower their own commission rates in an effort to get work severely undervaluing themself in the process.
