It would be nice to not have to be interested in a posting and find out it is below my current salary. I'm not going to make a move that is lateral or a step down from where I am now.

I'm sure that Esther had some problems being married to him. :)

Reply to comment by RiceCakeAlchemist in TIL that Koreans have had heated floor technology since at least 1,000 B.C.E. by Nice-Violinist-6395
In college, I went to a party at my friend's place, an American's apartment. The roommate was oriental. Most people took off their shoes. I didn't since my doctor told me not to go bare-footed outside my own house. I didn't want to have my feet injured.
Someone accosted me about not taking off my shoes I said it's an American custom to wear your shoes in the house. They said it was an oriental house, but since my friend was American I said it was an American house.

It would be nice if it became standard in the USA. My high school had it in the bathroom, which was nice after gym class.

And those will change if you reread the book at a different time/place in your life.
