My eternal mistake. I let him know that not only can he get his way, he can also drive the boat -- and he feels like he's an expert boat driver.

Until he gets caught in the sea grass or the engine dies on his way to propose.  Oh Nick LOL.  You tell him who's boss!

I work with mostly older guys at night so they don't disturb me, but I did tell a couple that I write as a hobby. Nobody tries to look at what I'm doing so that's good for me. I sit in the corner of the break room typing away while they bitch about really pointless things lol

I've always been a night owl and used to do my best writing late at night, but the last couple years or so, I've gotten into a better routine of writing first thing in the morning.  I guess that means I'm getting old.  I will still stay up all night writing in the summer, but not usually during the school year.

I try to shower right after I get out of bed. Helps me feel like I'm getting on with my day. I also used to be a night owl, but I stopped being so heavily one when I started teaching. Gotta be a productive human for the children.

He's an expert boat driver, not an expert mechanic/naturalist. Sea grass will get you every time at the worst time.

It's too late now. We're ride or die at this point.

That is good!

My first job in high school was cleaning computers for the school district where my mom teaches in the summer, and I used to read fanfics while I was doing that.  (I had terrible work ethic LOL; I wasted so much time.)  I don't remember writing on the job, but I did do a lot of brainstorming.  Nowadays the only chance I get to even think about fanfic while at work is during bathroom breaks LOL.

I feel like the older guys get, the more they stay out of other peoples' business. As long as you're not on shared transportation . Then all guys engage with you no matter what you're doing, like "So this air... you enjoying that?"

Did you get paid by the hour or by the computer?
