It’s really odd for a person who studied history to not be able to remember things. But I’ve always had an issue with my memory. And it’s not as though I don’t remember things. I know all sorts of random shit. I rock at Jeopardy! But ask me what the name of that one guy who did that, and I can’t remember it to save my life.

It’s why I’ve been so focused on notes for so long. I need to write everything down, and if I don’t, I forget it.

Back in college and a little after, I worked the third shift stocking shelves at Kroger. I did that for about 10 years. It was a good job, and allowed me to make friends and be able to go to school during the day. I stopped working there in 2012. That’s 13 years ago, which just makes me wonder where the time has gone.

But what really gets me, is that even after all that time, my sleeping schedule still has not recovered. I’m still a work until 5AM kind of guy. If you’re on my Discord, you’ll often find me there chatting until the wee hours of the morning. And often times, I don’t get up and about until 10 or 11 in the morning, sometimes later.
