All labour is labour. People who tell you that you're somehow not working-class because you work with your brain and a keyboard, and don't come home covered in grime from 16 hours of breaking stones in the misery mines, are not the friends of labour. They are the catspaws of capital. You are not better (or worse) than a coal miner or lumberjack. Your relationship to capital is exactly the same -- you trade labour for subsistence, to make the capitalist class richer.
Here's the thing: Making more money from a job doesn't change your class. You either own the means of production or you do not. That is the distinction. What the job is, what you make or sell, who your clientele is, these things make no difference at all to the facts of social class.
I kinda pride myself on being able to eat the same thing for a while. It halps me stick to diets and carb counts and what not.
The week before last, I made a few changes to my diet that restricted my calories and carbs even further down. I did this as a tradeoff where Saturdays and Holidays I eat whatever I want and don't count anything. But after last week's injection and the huge spike in my blood sugar I got from it, I pushed my cheat day to Monday.
But I also forgot that I have an endocrinologist appointment on Tuesday, so so I can't go crazy on Monday. But I can after Tuesday. Then I remembered I have blood work on Wednesday, which is a 24 hour fast, which means I won't really have that cheat day until Thursday.
And let me tell you, I am getting a little tired of sausage links and salad for two out of my three meals per day for almost two weeks straight.
Okay, the more I eat those yeast rolls, the more I like them. Not dry at all, almost perfectly moist and taste great. Just a tad dense. I'm thinking if I can get a better rise, they'll be perfect.
I'm thinking scaling them down to 15g carbs (which honestly is better for me than 37.5g), was what was killing the rolls.
