I started working 4am shifts a couple years ago. Now I work 5 or 6am shifts. Maybe it's age, I don't know. But I vastly prefer it to working later. Please give me the world with most of it (locally obviously) asleep.
I used to love to read, and sometimes it'll still grab me and I'll devour a half dozen books in two weeks, but it was always fiction. And it's more and more rare now. Once a few years at this point.
However, I'm a beer merchandiser. Which means I work mostly alone all day, for 8 to 11 hours, in various grocery stores with a bone conduction headset and not much to occupy the ol gray matter besides my anxiety. So I listen to podcasts when I don't need to think much and music when I need to think more.
Not sure if this is the best place to ask. I know next to nothing about Venezuela, its history, or the Bolivarian Revolution. Can anyone suggest podcasts I can listen to?
I have a nice shiny sign on my work truck that says I can't speed. The AI lady in my truck will tell me to slow the fuck down if I do. But yeah, people act foolish as hell.
And here I've felt guilt my whole life because I am the type of person to use running water to hand-wash dishes. I can't stand a sink of soapy gross water.
When I was a younger man and did such things as all nighters, I wouldn't go to bed at 4 or 5 either. I'd be up until the next evening. But I suppose the answer is still relevant. I'd brush in the morning before starting the new day, so the latter.
My ex used to like him and we'd watch some of his stuff. For the record I was also a daily drinker at the time and don't remember shit. So I saw his Christmas thing come out and was like ah fuck it I'll put it on. In under five minutes he's making trans jokes. Fuuuuuuck no, delete. Glad I pirated that shit.
There's a Pratchett bit about this. I don't remember it well, but here goes: A man goes to the witch for a health problem, I believe his heart, expecting a magical remedy. So she tells him he has to go each day to this space up the mountain a ways and ask the fairies or dryads there for a blessing. The details of the magic don't really matter. The man is now walking 5 miles a day, and his heart health improves.
I divine there is a college near you wiggly fingers
The Asian market near my place has a similar deal. I think theirs actually is worth it, but it's clearly aimed at people who(se parents) have like a thousand dollars to throw at a grocery store all in one go.
