inThe salary range on a job posting was 40k lower than what I actually got paid
Rare fluke" for sure. Most postings pay at or below the top number.

inThe Thursday my whole week flipped in 40 minutes
Honestly I used to roll my eyes at people who planned stuff out like that, figured you just deal with whatever the day throws at you. But then a coworker showed me how she spends like 15 minutes every Sunday just writing down what she wants her week to look like, and it kind of stuck with me. What got me was that your neighbor plans over coffee, like it is not some big chore, just a calm little thing he does. That part made me realize the timing matters more than the planning itself. I still do not get everything right, but I do a loose version now and my Mondays feel way less like getting hit by a truck. Never thought I would be that person but here we are.

inRestaurant menu redesign made the specials board unreadable from the bar
Stop worrying about the way it looks on the mockup and fix the actual problem, which is that the light in your bar is bad, not the menu. Every dark menu fails under dim light because your eyes need contrast, and gold on dark gray is low contrast no matter how nice it seems on a bright screen. Change the lettering to white or cream, keep the dark background, and the vibe stays the same while people can actually read it. If you really want gold, add a thin white outline around the letters so there is something bright for the eye to grab. The menu was never the issue, it is the lighting, so test it in the real room before you blame the design.
