One of my coworkers is from Spain and she says that it is more or less Spanish culture to hate and destroy everything whenever the mood strikes :p


Oh?

So how are bankers perceived in Spain? What about the Spanish Empire?

Give it another financial crash, they’ll join the rest of us.

Fun fact: most money is purely electronic and does not physically exist. All that filthy lucre being pumped around and accumulating in the golden cesspools of the ultra-rich is more an article of faith than anything concrete in this glorious new age.

That sounds much healthier. Sleep is very important.

I was always the one to be a night owl, but I guess recently my sleep cycle got so messed up that it turned one full circle and corrected itself.

17.00 - 23.00, 18.00 - 00.00, 19.00 - 01.00, then it rights itself.

It sounds like your sleep cycle did the right thing.
