You’re all crazy Success/Cheers

This is not a tip or anything useful but I feel like I need to say it.

Just reading some of your stories I came to realise that Americans are made of a different thing.

You often have multiple jobs, sometimes study and the same time, have kids or taking care of someone. Have no healthcare, pay everything out of pocket and somehow you still make it. And for the most part with a smile.

You guys probably don’t realise this but it’s unbelievable for a lot of folks in Europe. You’re very hard workers and kuddos for that.

Keep it up.

When I ask people I work with what they look forward to the most on weekends, it's always sleeping

I spend my mornings during the week wanting it to be Saturday morning so I can sleep in and ruin my entire day.

You just encapsulated how I feel every weekend. I need the rest, but I feel as though I’ve ruined the potential for anything fun because I’m exhausted and have to sleep.

Winter is rough on me for this reason. I am not off work until it is dark. If I sleep until 11am on the weekend then I only have a few hours left in the day.
