Just realized I hit 200 episodes of The Office on my night shifts

I do night nursing and started watching The Office as background noise during my breaks. Hit episode 200 last week and it dawned on me that I've spent like 40 hours watching it just at work. Anyone else got a show they accidentally clocked a crazy number of episodes on?

My brother watched all of Breaking Bad three times on deployment.

That phrase "watched all of Breaking Bad three times" really jumped out at me, @thomas.piper. It makes me think about how we all cling to something familiar when everything else is uncertain. Deployment is such an extreme case, but I notice the same pattern in regular life now. People rewatch the same shows, listen to the same albums on repeat, or even order the same meal at restaurants over and over. It seems like when the world feels too fast or overwhelming, we pull back to what we already know works. Your brother probably found comfort in knowing exactly what happened next, like a little anchor in the middle of chaos. You see it everywhere now, not just on deployment but in how we all cope with the constant changes of modern life.
