I've found that hydrating helps avoid hangovers, but that's not exactly an unexpected headache out of the blue.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
From time to time, drinking water has helped a tension headache, but a migraine is another beast entirely. Water definitely doesn't help migraines, except when it allows me to take meds.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Dear upstairs neighbor, if your goal is to find all the squeaky spots in the floor you are doing great! However, is it necessary to march in place for 5 minutes in each squeaky spot?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How do they even find out stuff about my character, reputation, etc. What is "mode of living"?
In a serious background check, like for the CIA or whatever, they interview people who know you. For a regular job, they probably just check you have the degrees you claim and maybe a credit check.

I saw one of those interviews happening in a Dunkin Donuts once.

We once had the FBI descend to do a background on a former coworker. Basically everyone freaked out (complicated by only supposed to confirm dates of employment per HR, but fed agency cooperation...) Former coworker got the job in FBI IT.
Supposably, my first smartphone arrives Thursday. Bets on whether I'll ignore it until the weekend... have to enter in all contacts manually, set up apps & passwords (oh fuck, what's my pwd here?) and all that...

Because books.
Some of my brother's friends and teachers, etc., were interviewed when he was getting Navy security clearances. Very weird feeling.

Thrive to spite them
When our old neighbor back in FL was getting her law license back Mom and some neighbors were interviewed. She didn't get her license back.
Edited to add she lost it for breaking into her ex husbands house and stealing and trashing the place and I think stalking. She was erratic and that came through in the interviews

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
"mode of living"
I'm thinking they mean things along the lines of "apartment, townhouse, suburban house, stately Wayne Manor...."

"This says he lives in Stately Wayne Manor."
"Huh, Mr. Wayne didn't strike me as the kind to sublet to some guy looking for a security job."
