shootingstar Posted January 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 1, 2022 Was looking at a job ad. Some of the start-up firms, require working alot of sustained energy --big time. Part of me, wishes I didn't feel exhausted just from reading the ad. Clearly am destined for fun times elsewhere. See yellow highlighted, which is seldom seen in job ad these days: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted January 1, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 1, 2022 30 years ago I might have met some of those qualifications. Maybe about half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even totally clear what is a fintech firm...they sound so far, offering traditional financial vehicles. Neo Financial... based in our city, and busting out to expand after $xx million was put up by American investor Peter Thiel. Part of my jobs present and past, has required communicating frameworks / strategy and presenting new concepts ....and how to translate business strategy and rethink business processes as a check against real needs vs. unrealistic dreams...if redesign/revision of a system is needed. I actually like this piece of change management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would find it a challenge to keep to a 2,000 calorie daily diet. I'm also not a calorie counter. I use my clothing pieces that I like, to gauge fit...especially during winter. One thing I did notice was some weird situations where I gained weight when I was working at the construction site for 3 yrs. I had a 3 hrs. round trip daily commuter trip for me at that time, even though I ate a very light breakfast at 4:45 am and lunch (in some cases no lunch. I'm not a lunch eater), I had a reasonable healthy supper after getting home at 7:00 pm: I gained weight! In the winter, had a long commute: walking 15 min. LRT train, then transferring to bus and then walking 15 min. to construction site. During cycling seasons, I biked to LRT station, locked up and then took bus, etc. By supper, I was already tired. It was totally contrary to what I expected. At that time, I messed up my hormonal balance so my body was trying to hang on to calories..etc. See this: Weight Loss (Hormones vs Calorie Counting) ~ The Fasting Method Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted January 1, 2022 So yesterday, at home, I had my takeout flat pizza just before 4:30 pm. Far from being a NY's Eve celebration hr. What could I do? The pizza place was going to close at 5:00 pm. I did eat later in evening, something small.. a slice of cheese and later 2 huge dollops of yogurt with tea. Maybe shouldn't have but it was NY's Eve. This morning I had breakfast 7:15 am. On work days, breakfast is around 6:30 am. So I'm not great at all this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
