Reply to comment by decadentbeaver in TIL while writing "A Christmas Carol," Charles Dickens was "taking night-time walks of 15 to 20 miles (24 to 32 km) around London." to build out the story in his head. by SuperMcG

I walked 8 miles on average in a ten hour shift working at a big chain liquor store during the pandemic. Filling online orders then bringing them to people’s trunks.

There was no though during those hours. Just weed pen rips and the repeating thought “ I am an organic robot hired to complete a task.” I used that mantra when I started to crack or think about how I could change things in the store.
