You learn a lot about people from their bedrooms. Some have TVs or books or laptops. Some have blackout curtains or stuffed animals or bottles of pills. But, vast as human experience is, one thing is consistent: Everyone has once-worn clothes strewn on the furniture.
"Sometimes I feel like my life is a cycle of failing to work and checking Hacker News or whatever until I eventually fall asleep in existential terror at how I spent my day." Are we the same person? Do you have any advice for those of us who share a home with others who also work from home and need the internet to do their work?
my father was after us my entire childhood to turn out lights when we leave a room. I don't know how successful he was, it's possible he had to be after us less as we got older. my spouse does not appear to have a habit of turning off lights when they leave a room. I have not enquired as to how this relates to their family of origin. I had a choice between being the person who turns lights out or nagging my family for the rest of my life. I chose the former. Our fiscal solvency does not hang on the light bill, and LED fixtures make this less of a concern anyhow.
