  • But she’s honest about the limits, summing it up, “But that’s part of the job, and it’s what makes it fun and challenging and keeps every day new. And it’s, you know, it’s temporary. We’re one year down. We got three to go.”

    Assuming there really are only 3 to go, she’ll still be younger than I am now when she finishes, and she’s clearly in a much better place financially. Who gives a fuck?

    I don’t have kids because I work 5 13-hour shifts a week and I don’t think it’d be responsible to bring a child into that when I can’t be there to help raise them (nevermind the health issues I’m risking from sleep deprivation already, I don’t need a newborn on top of that). My partner also works full time, and even then we’re barely making enough to get by. But hey, let’s have a story about how one of the worst people in the world had to cancel her 3 holidays this year.

    In the end, Leavitt’s reality reads like a cautionary tale for anyone thinking proximity to power comes cheap. Between the canceled trips, the social media taunts, the age-gap commentary, and the nonstop demands of defending Trump, she’s living the full cost of the job — as she put it, just “part of the job.”

    So… she isn’t even complaining? This writer is just sad that Leavitt’s life must be tough because of all of these things she chose to do? Thank you for wasting everybody’s time, Atlanta Black Star. I hope your engagement-bait is fulfilling.

    Oh

    Set your alarm for the exact time you need to get up and get out of bed when it goes off.

    When I was younger I forced this by putting the clock out of reach, I had to physically get out of bed to turn it off. I don’t need to do it any more but it was a very good habit to get into.


  • I’ll take longer shifts with 7 days off per fortnight over normal ones with only weekends off any day. I rarely change my sleep schedule, I just stay nocturnal most of the time. I pop to the shops on my break most shifts to grab a backpack load of groceries, then there’s a 24h one near my apartment if I need anything that can’t wait on nights off. I spend my “mornings” with my girlfriend until she goes to bed around lunchtime, then I have the rest of my time to myself. It works for me, and has been for the last 8 years 🤷‍♂️


  • Security, and I would kill for a couple of hours to myself each day. By the time I get home, I have about half an hour to get to sleep if I want a full 8h down before the next shift. I work 2-3 nights, then get 2-3 off, so it averages out to 7 shifts a fortnight which isn’t so bad.









  • I see your point about the LAMF thing, but that’s such a dishonest comparison. Your post history seems reasonable enough so I’m hoping you won’t just be a dick about this. The difference is cars aren’t a tool specifically for killing people. You’re even changing the context in your comparison, this isn’t a drunk driver killing a dude, it’s someone intentionally hitting a man with their car. When the US gets a global reputation for being the place kids constantly take their parents’ cars to school to kill other kids it’ll be a fine point, until then it’s hurting your case.

    For the record, I’m not condoning or celebrating this either. I’m not going to mourn the prick, but I don’t support openly murdering people and see no appeal in laughing or joking about it.
