  • Picker at a clothing warehouse. The warehouse was hot AF, probably 110 degrees on some days. Management’s response to multiple people passing out was to add a couple water fountains and remind us to “stay hydrated!” But of course if you took too many bathroom breaks you wouldn’t meet quota, which was already impossible to meet without breaking some rules.

    The management office was a little hut in the warehouse with a couple of AC units sticking out of its windows.

    The order packers at least got fans.


















  • nicotine is chemically addictive sugar is not.

    I’m not sure what you mean by this. If you mean a sugar addiction is more like a gambling addiction than a nicotine addiction, I don’t think that’s the case; you can find studies that claim sugar addiction is “opiate-like”. There are also some sensational claims like “sugar is more addictive than cocaine”, though that seems like more of a stretch to me.

    I’m glad to hear you are in great shape, and it’s clear you tie a lot of self worth to physical fitness. But I would caution you not to use that as an excuse to look down on others.
