"Applicant: I really don’t like working a full week (for a full-time position). Is that OK?" is very much ok to ask about imo. I'd word it differently perhaps, but someone asking if there is flexibility or room to move on working conditions isn't a problem for me. doi.org/10.1002/fsh....

1. Some years back I was taking a cab in Chicago and the taxi driver, discovering I was a writer, complained that all his young son wanted to read was comics. I made the point to him that reading comics was reading, and that his kid was taking pleasure in reading and at his age, that's important.

Let's talk about eels & dams. 'Cause dams are a problem for eels now, but they haven't always been. Eels can live out of water for a while, & travel overland. Young eels climb up & around small waterfalls as they migrate. And so many medieval dams weren't a problem for them. 1/7 🗃️🧪
