My old boss said to never use hot glue on endpapers and I finally learned why

Honestly, I thought he was just being picky when he told me that 5 years ago. I used some on a small notebook last week because I was in a hurry. Ngl, it held fine at first, but after a couple days the paper started to warp and buckle near the spine. The heat and moisture from the glue messed up the whole lay-flat feel. Tbh, I should have just stuck with my usual PVA. Has anyone else had a project go wrong from using the wrong adhesive?

Showerthought: I finally gave in and tried a 5-minute hand massage during facials

I was skeptical about adding the time, but a client in Boise last week said it was the most relaxed she'd felt in months. Anyone else found a small add-on that clients really notice?

Traced random elevator halts to a thirsty floor buffer

Got a call for an elevator in an old office block that would just stop between floors. No faults on the controller, it would pause for about thirty seconds then carry on. The building manager was sure it was haunted. I rode it for half a day and saw it only quit in the late afternoon. That lined up with the cleaning crew buffing the third floor lobby. The big buffer they used was sucking too much power from the same circuit as the elevator's controls. I told them to plug it into a different outlet. Problem went away, and I got called a ghostbuster for a while.
