First part of Q I was working a crap ton, barely had time to do essential tasks like grocery shopping and making the bed and could not understand where everybody got the time for these hobbies. I got a new role and now I am doing things like making bagels from scratch, and trying to figure out how to be a millionaire.

I’ve been watching a ton of films and documentaries from other countries or other regions within countries. For ex. I’ve started watching Malayalam language movies from India - researching all the highest rated ones. On another week I went through all the Woody Allen movies I could find. Reading about the history and context of how some of these iconic films were made is fascinating.

Thinking of switching employers.

It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
