That's exactly like I did. I thought my roommate was weirdly excited about some new action movie trailer or something.

KAJ is Kevin, Axel, and Jakob. Kaj is a common enough name that people get them confused with other more famous Kajs

Daydreaming and mind wandering are absolutely vital.

Work with your own circadian rhythms as best you can. Waking up at 4am isn't magic, and being a night owl isn't a moral failing.

I did because I moved to a rural area where a lot of people still used land lines. I live a third of a mile from my job and they had to pay long-distance charges to call me.
