After working second shift, which was perfect for me, for 20 years I moved to a morning job. Nine years in I can function in the morning but still hate it every single day and stay up late far too frequently

Seems to me like you produce far more enjoyable content than I pay for. If I ever think you are working too slow for my tastes, I will of course offer to pay you more to hire staff so you can either supervise work or pay people to do things for you to free up more creative time.

Álbum a day: In the Magic Hour by Aoife O’Donovan. Often I buy albums of acts unknown to me that I put in a notebook for reasons I’ve forgotten. But she has a pretty voice and all the songs are pleasant.
