If the senior lead dev at my company would be a little more workplace invested.
What I mean by this is: it's hard to say to the higher-ups "I would really like a Resharper license or a chair that isn't broken" when you're the most junior person, and your seniors aren't saying the same.
A co-worker was finally fed up with the crappy chair and bought his own. Its a gaming chair, with bright green. He also did not like his monitors, so he bought his own.
In a certain way I feel he is doing the right thing, why suffer. For a few hundred bucks he has a lot more job satisfaction.
Chewing gum or some kind of food that would clean teeth as well as brushing and flossing. I mentioned that to my dental hygienist and dentist years ago and they thought it was hilarious.
I think commit to self-improvement. The real challenge lies in doing the little things on a consistent basis and by taking advantage of all opportunities to change your life – one little step at a time.
I wish I could quickly change the humidity level in any room, anywhere, without feeling like it (the solution) wastes resources. Random, but there you go.
I'm thinking a bit more about the dehumidifying factor for sure. But when I used humidifiers in the past they were also frustratingly ineffective. For a small space like a two-person office, give it many hours before you notice anything. Might as well grow plants. Maybe that's changed in the last 10 years or so...not sure.
