"I can work a degrading job but I need to stop thematizing it, representing it, turning it into a toy for my own and other’s amusement..." I think about this every time I write about my day job at the crisis call center.

I'd honestly like to see SS's calculation on reading time. Vexing. Each writer shoud assign himself a coefficient. For you, 2.5 seems like it would be in order. I'd say .75 to .25 is most of what I see here.

This was not a four-minute read. I assume my refund is in the mail.
