As someone with a slight accent: good. I want you to hear what I'm saying, not my accent.
Regardless, active listening is the way to go. Learn what to listen for and maybe try to actively place the accent once you recognize the markers.
Just please listen to the words first.
Check with your employer if they will help with your continued education somehow. My employer, for example, will reimburse some tuition costs if you get a degree while working there.
As a nurse you can continue up to and including a PhD. Or you can go to medical school and become an MD. There are many options. Try to find a few that sound interesting and learn more about them.
If you feel you have unused potential, maybe making a change in your career is just what you need. Even if you just look into what it would take, it could put things in perspective for you.
Your move, Blizzard and Bethesda. This is the boss fight we need.
I don't. I don't work for a library, but judging from my local library branch, they don't have the funding to retain competent IT staff. This isn't about what they could or should do. It's about not being an asshole to people that are already barely hanging on with what they have.
Please don't do this. People working at libraries aren't paid enough to deal with that bullshit.
John Oliver did a show related to this. There doesn't seem to be a lot of restrictions on what can happen to your body once it has been donated.
Everywhere I've worked it didn't matter if I used my equipment or theirs. All IP I created while employed there was the property of my employer. If you're in the USA, check your contracts.
You don't say what type of programming you do, or if you're just learning or developing professionally, but maybe something fully online would work? For example repl.it, stackblitz, or Visual Studio Code for the Web.
I second the suggestion for getting a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad.
Sounds like great incentive for Zuck to do everything in his power to make sure Trump doesn't get reelected.
Since refried beans is not countable, I vote for "too much".
Example:
Or like someone else suggested, make the noun singular and call them "refried bean paste". This will probably raise more eyebrows than much/many confusion, though.
I don't mind them when used appropriately, but remember that us old people may struggle to make out which emoji we're looking at when the text is small.
To my eyes it also looks out of place in professional writing, so I would find it hard to take you seriously if you use emojis in such a context.
TL;DR: in a casual context, go nuts, but avoid for important communication where clarity and professionalism matters.
Lol true
To OP's point, my friends say I don't have an accent, but the number of people who ask me where I'm from says otherwise.
