Have some people in America potentially never seen the sea?

I live in the UK, I live near the sea currently, I come from a place that was by the sea and I was born somewhere only an hour away from the sea. I'm not great at geography but my understanding is Americans take longer road trips than us due to the expanse

Is it a common thing that some people in some states don't see the sea or haven't ever!?

I'm stressed

I just need to rant

I work a decent paying WFH (mainly) job earning 40k, not in London. However I find myself constantly working 12 hour days, have just spent half my week off in bed due to overworking the week before and the other half worried about what I will come back to

The work culture is fine, but the work I do does not get covered when I take annual leave so I feel like it's always a catch 22

I've just worked another 12 hour day today, my first day back in preparation for a meeting tomorrow, and then a 10 hour round trip for a 2 hour meeting the end of this week

Whilst I am a top performer in what I do, I am constantly anxious about performance and worrying about the next thing to come up, I haven't had a quiet period since maybe October last year and I finally feel it's taking its toll. There isn't much more progression, but I have the fear the grass is always greener etc. I've reached the top of my pay bracket without business cases as of this year. I think I'm just stressed and tired and the idea of delivering this presentation tomorrow is terrifying me for some reason. It's 1AM and I can't sleep. Need to be up in 6 hours. Fuck sake

Hi all

I have recently just finished the Cradle series by Will Wight and am looking for my next series binge. I use kindle unlimited but am not adverse to buying the series either

I can't believe how emotionally invested I got in the cradle series, I loved the characters and the power progression and am still wondering about a lot of the worlds lore

I have also read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and loved that as well

Any recommendations are appreciated! Looking for something I can really sink my teeth into and something you feel you can read for hours on end without getting bored (just one more chapter!)
