3 posts you might’ve missed

#1

I’ve always wondered how people with long nails pick up coins they’ve dropped?

Probably helpful that people pretty much don’t use coins anymore. 🪙

#2

Did you know the day before Thanksgiving is considered the least productive workday in the US? Kinda wish I knew what that was like. 🥲

#3

If you’re out job hunting right now I know times are tough, so I’m hoping this success story can bring you a bit of newfound motivation/inspiration. 🙏

Bonus

Who else is taking work calls from their childhood bedrooms? 🛌

1 Tech Tip

Typing spec¡al symbo£s and â¢cénts on Mac

I was sending an email earlier this week and needed to learn how to type the accented é in someone’s name. That’s when I discovered how many characters I can type by using the ⌥ (Option) key on Mac!

For example, ⌥ (Option) + 3 gives me £, which is very helpful when listing UK salaries.

Some other super helpful ones:

  • ⌥ + e: é accent

  • ⌥ + `: è accent

  • ⌥ + i: î accent

  • ⌥ + n: ñ

  • ⌥ + u: ü accent

I totally encourage you to just play around and try out ⌥ + random letter or number and see what happens.

P.S. You can also just long press the “e” key to pull up all those accents I listed above (+ more!).

For a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here.

Thank you for reading!

Happy Turkey Day! Hope you have a restful Thanksgiving break :)

I’ll catch you next Thursday~
