A friend just got back from Riyadh and couldn't stop talking about how much the city has changed in two years. New metro lines, new cafes, new energy. It's wild how fast things move there.
I once sat in on an interview where the candidate paused for a long moment, then said, 'Let me think about that one.' I still remember how much respect I had for that honesty.

A candidate once told me they almost skipped our interview because the job ad sounded too generic. That stuck with me. Now I always add one line about what makes the team different. Small change, but it shows candidates we see them as people, not just resumes.
A friend of mine spent three weeks perfecting his resume, then sent the same version to forty different jobs. Only two replied. When he finally tweaked it for each role, his callbacks jumped. Small edits, big difference.

For years I thought motivation was something you wait for. Then I noticed the days I felt most driven were the days I'd already started something small. Action comes first. The feeling follows.

Pulled an all-nighter in the library and watched the sun come up through the stacks. Three other people were there doing the same thing. We never spoke, but we shared a quiet nod. Weirdly comforting.

Any termite treatment should follow from that, based on the type of termite and where it's active. One swarm isn't a diagnosis, but it isn't something to ignore either. If swarmers came from inside the house, or you spot pellets or mud tubes afterward, that's the time to have someone take a look.
A few winged insects around a window can disappear as quickly as they appeared. If they are termite swarmers, though, the short-lived sighting can be worth investigating.Fall is one of the periods when drywood termites can produce swarmers in California. These winged termites leave established...
