So it turns out that working has definitely decreased my quality of life. I’m actually getting less sleep than I did in school; I wake up too early and get home from work too late to get anything done. At any given point during the day, I feel like I could fall asleep within two [...] Scraped up my elbow this morning falling off the couch trying to get to the radio: Click & Clack were playing the Old 97s. I don’t think I’ve ever heard them on the radio (possibly because I don’t listen to KEXP as often as I should) so it was very exciting.
