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~
