1. Do you ever forget that some people have parents? And then when you think about it, it's really weird? Like, Hitler. Had parents. Brad Pitt. Had parents. The Dalai Lama. Had parents. Jack Bauer. Had parents. (Well, Jack Bauer had crazy Farmer Hogget as a father, which, frankly, probably directly affected his ascent to bad-assness.)
2. There is a time between 3:45 and 4:30 AM on Night Audit shift when I briefly suspect that no one else in the world is alive.
3. A noisy vaccuum cleaner is about 110% more annoying at 5:00 in the morning, even if you're not trying to sleep.
4. While chlorine doesn't make your hair clean, it certainly makes your dirty hair more manageable.
5. You take for granted the benefits of being unemployed until you are employed. Like, if I was unemployed, I would be asleep in my bed right now instead of trying to stay awake and communicate in non-Enligsh to the only other person awake right now, namely, my night houseman. If I was unemployed, I could go on vacation for weeks after summer school was over, instead of having to plan my tiny vacation around work. If I was unemployed, I could hang out with whoever I wanted to during the week. However, if I was unemployed, I would also be broke. And that is no benefit. That is a detriment.
6. Swimming at night is definitely one of the best things about summer.
