For those that can’t stand this time of the year, my misery seeks company. What does it for you?

For me: aside from the usual family stuff:

I worked front-end in a post office back when that meant a line-up before I opened the doors to the end of the day when I had to inform the line-up that was still out the door that, yes, I was going to close on time. (Some didn’t take that well. For me it was just another Tuesday…)

It meant a lot of work with little thanks and I had to listen to the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.

Edit/PS: The quick downvote sells it. Perfection. chefs kiss

Been a couple things in the past few years that have really clicked for me that didn’t before. And where I am right now (staying in a hostel) where I meet people who won’t turn on BlueTooth because it “messes with their brain” have…

    Yeah. Them five whole G’s on a cellphone are going to break you, but you go ahead and have a loud conversation in a public space on your speaker-phone…
