Pre-wetting the leather a little bit can help stop that annoying shrinkage.

Only FOUR meetings? That's it?

You mentioned your savings are gone after taking that pay cut. I see this all the time, where people trade security for a chance to grow. The money part is the hardest because that learning doesn't pay the bills right now. You have to treat it like paying for a tough education, and cut every cost you can. It's a common trade-off, but running out of savings means you need a side income fast, even if it's just for a few months.

Honestly it's just a water bottle at the end of the day. Tbh if a blinking light gets you to drink more then cool, but it's not that deep. People act like this is some big life changing gadget. Ngl it feels like we're overthinking a container. Just drink when you're thirsty and skip the extra junk.

That's a wild level of commitment to a lie. Sorry you had to deal with that.
