brief internet disruption, not enough to completely prevent watching "Narcos" s1 e6~7
mon:
"Narcos" surely influenced the dream I woke briefly from: suiting up to defend a state ammo dump.
The background was an insurrection/civil war scenario but dream content not so much about the politics, more about processing the possibility that I might not make it home. One of the last images I remember is Mrs left out her "Be Kind" sweatshirt for me to wear to the battlefront. It reminded me of the scene in Full Metal Jacket where Matthew Modine's "Private Joker" is confronted by a colonel about the dissonance of the "Born to Kill" jotted on his helmet, vs. the peace symbol button on his uniform.
[Pvt Joker] "I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir."
[Poge Colonel] "The what?"
[Pvt Joker] "The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir."

200mg caf capsule taken whole ~6:45; prot.bev, vitamin + phytosterol 7:30~8a

Draft daily diet/exercise template review: Even if I immediately rolled out of bed at 6:30a, washed caf and creatine down with the prescribed 8 oz water, and had [gym clothes, work clothes, prot.bev, breakfast, lunch, snacks] all neatly duffel'ed and ready to go ... I think it would be a very tight, iffy time crunch to work out, shower off and arrive at work fresh and suited up by 8am. And I don't even have the gym-shower part of kit worked out. Not that it's needed right now but I want to be in a position where it is needed.
It never won't grind my gears that managements crept the goalposts from "nine to five with a lunch hour" to "eight to five with tightly controlled unpaid breaks" ... but whatev, the idea waved like a promise throughout my school years has been betrayed throughout my entire career years. So I get to choose whether to resentment-face about it every time I think about it, or find a suitable thought-stopping cliche and move on with my day.
