TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: High School Janitor Who Walks To Work Gets Surprised With New Car

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: High School Janitor Who Walks To Work Gets Surprised With New Car

This is a wonderful story of people helping each other out in times of need just out of the pure goodness of their heart.

A janitor at a high school in Alabama recently had his car die on him a while back. Since then he has been walking to work.  Luckily he lives close by, but it’s still a pain to not have a car.

A teacher at the school who just bought a new car found out about what was happening and decided to give him old Toyota Highlander! What a nice thing to do. Teachers, always looking out for everyone.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Does chewing gum help concentration?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Does chewing gum help concentration?

I’ve heard this from a few different people. That chewing gum can help you concentrate and be more production. But is it actually true?!

According to a study done in 2013 by the British Journal of Psychology, they found that people who chewed gum while taking part in a memory challenge were able to stay focused for longer periods of time than those who did not chew gum.

With everyone working from home now and trying to get work done seems like we should all pick up an extra pack of Orbitz next time we’re at the Grocery store.
