Thanks . I never knew this was a thing <| sep |> Is that a thing ? <| sep |> That ' s exactly what I did too ! Minus the fire haha . I ' d always gradually become nocturnal within a couple weeks after school ended and could only fix it by staying up for two or three days the week before school started again . I ' m surprised my parents never told me not to do that , but I was pulling allnighters pretty often as a kid anyway so I guess they didn ' t see it as weird . <| sep |> I worked for Ipsos Reid doing surveys . We would be told to stay on this very specific , unrealistic script to talk to people , but somehow connect with them . No room for deviation from the script , or there would be consequences . I thought , fuck it , I ' m 16 I ' m gonna milk this shit until they fire me , which they never did . I ' d spend have the survey just dog fucking on the phone with people about their lives between survey questions . So much fun . Instead of firing me they would cut shifts or have a supervisor connect to the phone call on a seat behind me , yelling to stay on script .
