For the people unfamiliar with Wendy's, what's a premium bun and why is it better?

I work in a kitchen and I can sometimes smell the customers out front, over the food that's cooking right in front of me.

Does this include crispy chicken sandwiches?

Same, it looks weird from the outside, but it saves my ass (or head) more often than I'm comfortable with

Something that might help is an otoscope - an ear inspection camera. They have ones on Amazon for about $20 that will connect to your phone.

Do not flush your own ears you can perforate your ear drum. Look up microsuction, put olive oil in your ear two drops once a day for a week then go. They'll take out the excess wax and give you advice on how to avoid repeating it.

There are smart bulbs with dimmer and timer functions you can set for the same sunrise effect.

This is the dumbest advice Ive ever seen. Listen to your body people! Stay safe, take things slow if you're feeling dizzy. Sauce: my medical degree.

I'd go get them checked out by a doctor.

Fake it.
Wake up, force a smile, force a cheery thought, pretend you're excited about the day. Then tell yourself how genuinely good it was the you were positive.
Repeat.
Slowly it'll become the norm.

I periodically get clogged ears due to inflammation in my jaw (I grind my teeth at night) that is worsened by wax buildup. First, try building up pressure in your ears by holding your nose & closing your mouth while breathing out. Build up the pressure slowly and only do enough to clear the blockage.
If that doesn’t work, try mixing warm water and hydrogen peroxide in a 50:50 solution. Lay down on your side and put about a teaspoon of the solution into the exposed ear. Wait for at least 3 minutes, then flip over and repeat on the other side. The trick is letting the warm water/peroxide loosen up the wax for a few minutes before draining it out.
Edit: These are solutions to two different problems. See comment below for details.

you can go to the doctor and they can flush your ear. its both incredibly refreshing and violating at the same time but its worth it.
and then just like flush your ears with diluted hydrogen peroxide once every few weeks to keep them fairly cleaned out.
i have to do that because i also have waxy ears. mine is softer and seems to compact a fair amount though. your results may vary

Clinical pearl from a family doc I rotated with is using a couple drops of castor oil in your ear before you sleep. Place a towel over your pillow case to catch the mess. You can also try debrox which is found at most convenience stores
If you use earphones, make sure they are clean before using. But also avoid if possible. Same goes for Q tips. Most importantly though, see your primary doctor! You never know when something else could be going on. Way safer than trusting internet advice with your health

Then there are some who would use anything as a way to get an advantage - for that coworker it would not have been impossible to have the conversation go something like this: "oh, well MET1 wants to quit and become a painter so can I get some training to take over that position". See how that works?
