They absolutely do - take an ant and put it in your palm, it will frantically run around trying to get off you. Similarly, if an intergalactic monster comes to Earth, I am sure we will be fully perceptive of them :)

Absolutely, no doubt whatsoever - you must try to change - your inertia will not go unnoticed by the manager, and its natural to take advantage. A change of job will get you better benefits, and rejuvenate your life. Once you get another jo
