In most cases I’ve seen, everyone just cooperates and takes turns in a similar fashion to when the traffic lights are working. Everyone slows down because they have the same worry as you. Just go slow and make eye contact with the people who also look like they’re in a position to go. It’s incredible how much your body language gives away just from eye contact.

You may even be lucky enough to see someone pull over and volunteer to control traffic.

Check out Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harrari. It’s my pick for the best non-fiction book and after reading it I found A Short History of Nearly Everything suggested as a similar read.

It’s a bit more dry than Bill Bryson’s work but a lot more informative. I listened to the audio book which was brilliant but would probably find it a lot harder to read.

It goes over the history of humans from around 70,000 years ago until current day. I would recommend everyone read this book to give them perspective on the things we find important and the rules we collectively chose to follow.

Really very cool. Only a couple of hours long

I’m Australian and always assumed it was Australian. It seems Australian but maybe we picked it up elsewhere… likely Britain if anywhere.

I’m reading Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.

I’m maybe a 3rd of the way through and my mind has been blown at least 3 times. It’s very eye opening to learn about the earliest societies and the reason we believe the things we do.

It would be hard for me to not recommend this book to everyone… Especially if you have even just a small interest in history and anthropology.

It’s good and bad.

I worked on rotating shifts on a helpdesk. 2 weeks out of 8 was 7pm - 7am shift.

The good was that the office which normally had about 100 agents during the day was reduced to 3 or less. Way quieter and you could do/wear/say anything without issue. During day shift I’d be answering around 10 calls per hour but at night if be lucky to answer 1 per hour.

This is also one of the negatives. Not having much work to do or other people to distract you would make the 12 hours slow to a crawl. Missing out on daylight sucked. I was always tired because 2 weeks is not long enough for the body to adjust.

For the right job and the right pay I would consider night shift again but overall I’d preferably avoid it.

Surely rolling my eyes and sighing is a better option.

I never get sick of these

Bowie is mine too. I’ve never been more affected by a celebrity death. I still get a lump in my throat when listening to his music, it was truly an art form of its own.

This is fucking horrid
