I’d like to learn what people in their field think of when they see something good or bad when they’re not working.

I’m a health inspector, so when I am sitting at a table as a customer, I’ll watch people while I’m eating (not purposely staring, but having a look around the place). I recently saw someone swipe their finger under their nose then go to the self serve station to touch about 8 different handles before walking away. Thankfully, I was already done eating.

When I have to walk through the kitchen to the toilets, I take mental notes without meaning to.

As a ex-first responder, unconsciously doing an assessment of someone I’m speaking to (or not) and internally noting how nice and juicy their veins are.

What are some things you come across in your daily life and what do they have you thinking about?

    My brain is not that high level when tech 😂 But I also used to be a food technologist in a previous life, so I love to reverse engineer food items! My partner is a mechanical engineer and doesn’t have a food science mind. We’re definitely opposites in that respect. My eyes glaze over when he starts talking engineering. 😅
