SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Would you say you love your job? Well, you should, if you know what’s good for you! Employees who love their jobs, meaning they feel passionate about their work, close to their coworkers, and committed to their organization, are in better health than those who just ‘sort-of’ like their jobs. That’s according to a study conducted by a group of Canadian universities. They found that those who have what they call “Love of the Job” (LOJ) report better physical health, fewer sick days, and lower anxiety and depression than those who are merely satisfied or engaged. Across 8 studies tracking more than 1,800 workers in multiple industries, high LOJ predicted health outcomes more strongly than job satisfaction, engagement, or general mood. It was also found that deep job attachment didn’t spark burnout…but experts warn that sometimes employers exploit employees’ intense passion for their job.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“Game of Thrones” could finally be heading to the big screen. Warner Bros. is officially developing a movie set in George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world with writer Beau Willimon, known for “Andor” and “House of Cards”. The news was first teased in The Hollywood Reporter‘s recent cover story profile of Martin, which revealed that both HBO and Warner Bros. were working on rival versions of the story of King Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros. The film is being envisioned as a mammoth, “Dune-sized” feature film.
Christina Applegate has some regrets about her brief romance with Brad Pitt. The actress, who released her memoir “You With the Sad Eyes” on Tuesday, reveals in the book that during her 1989 fling with Pitt, she ditched him at the MTV Video Music Awards for Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach. Applegate, who was 17 at the time, writes that she “had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk”, and “Brad back then was still making his way as an actor, and he wasn’t yet THE Brad Pitt, the man of so many people’s dreams.” After that, Pitt didn’t talk to her for “many years”, but they eventually buried the hatchet.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Apparently, free hotel breakfast may soon be off the menu at more hotels, as operators look to rein in costs. Hyatt Place, part of Hyatt Hotels, dropped complimentary breakfast at dozens of locations last year, while Holiday Inn has pared back to buffet-only service to reduce labor and food waste. The savings can be significant: one hotel told CNBC that free breakfast can eat up 5-7% of total revenue. But still, eliminating the perk risks comes with the risk of alienating budget-conscious guests who see breakfast as part of the deal.
Chicken might not be healthier than beef after all, according to a new study that challenges long-standing dietary advice. Researchers from the Indiana University School of Public Health – Bloomington and the Illinois Institute of Technology studied 24 adults with prediabetes who ate either unprocessed lean beef or chicken daily for 4 weeks, then switched. The study found no meaningful differences in blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, or inflammation between the 2 diets. Lead researcher Kevin Maki emphasized the findings apply only to short-term consumption of unprocessed meat, noting that balanced diets still matter most.

WEIRD NEWS
Florida’s record cold temps earlier this year, turned the state into a literal iguana snowfall. Back in January, Temperatures plunged to -4°C (25°F) in Orlando, freezing thousands of cold-blooded green iguanas mid-tree, and leaving locals dodging falling reptiles. Social media called it “raining iguanas,” while residents were asked to pick up the stunned – or already dead – lizards for humane euthanasia or relocation. The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission collected over 2,000 during a 2-day removal event, jokingly calling it a first-time effort to “help the landscape”, and give Floridians a new frozen family tradition.

SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH HEIDI SMALL
(FROM HEIDI)
THE LIST
A new poll suggests many of us are treating our vehicles less like transportation and more like…mobile storage units. The survey of 2,000 drivers in the US found that some of the items commonly cluttering our cars include clothing, food wrappers, dropped snacks (of course…), and old bottles. But still, nearly half of car owners describe theirs as tidy, while a third admit they’re embarrassed by the mess. Younger drivers were the most confident in their cleanliness, while baby boomers were the most likely to own up to disorder. Nearly half of respondents said their car’s condition reflects their personality, and many felt they could even identify their vehicle by smell alone – suggesting the car chaos runs deeper than clutter.
Here are some of the most interesting items found in respondents’ cars…
✓ A Sammy Sosa bobblehead
✓ Uncashed lotto tickets
✓ Old Halloween decorations
✓ “My husband’s fake leg”
✓ A dog stroller
✓ Cassette tapes
✓ False teeth
✓ Golf clubs
✓ “My jams and jellies”
✓ Fake money
