Anyone else experiencing dry throat from the tap water?

I’ve had a dry throat for the last two weeks and assumed I might be getting sick or dehydrated, but 1) I noticed it feels worse when I drink tap water but not bottled and 2) there’s everything going on with the curtailment and source blending.

I tried reaching out to Conway Corp and they understandably told me to see a doctor and predictably said it couldn’t be them, I just wanted to see if maybe it is just me and my household or if others noticed it, too.

The last year has beat the previous record set in July 2022 for my most expensive utility bill three times. The A/C has remained at 67 until average outside temps are lower than about 70.

Looking for Work Soon - Business Analyst

I’ve got an economics degree so trust me, I know exactly what kind of labor market I’m heading into.

My employer is offering a voluntary separation package to be paid out in early September that I’m estimating will cover about 3 months of expenses. I’m accepting this rather than take the risk that I’m swept up in the coming layoffs.

I’m just trying to do what I can to brace myself and put my feelers out there. It’s looking grim. If anyone knows of a business trying to hire a mid-level business analyst soon, I would greatly appreciate the heads up.

Conway sits right in the heart of Arkansas on I-40, home to three colleges and just 30 minutes from Little Rock. Over a million people in Central Arkansas, and there's no dedicated PC or electronics retailer that caters to enthusiasts, students, or anyone who needs quality components and expertise.

The nearest Micro Center? Over 4 hours away. That's not acceptable for a region this size.

I started a petition asking Micro Center to seriously consider Conway as a location. We have the foot traffic, the market demand, the college students, the tech enthusiasts — and a genuinely underserved community. This isn't about convenience; it's about having access to what other major cities take for granted.

If you live here or have felt the frustration of that drive, you know what I mean. If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing the petition. Help show Micro Center that Central Arkansas is ready for this.

EDIT: Here is the link!
