Bus porn
Dear Robin
One of my guilty pleasures is reading those scandalous novels you can only find at airports. But one of the only times I can read these days is on the bus, and I’m pretty tired of the judgy looks from the grandmas who see the smutty book covers. Any tips on how to keep enjoying this pleasure in life without the negative granny attitudes?
Sincerely,
Pleasured
Hello,
I must admit, you’re pretty old school for consuming smut via paper. It’s all about audiobooks these days. Get those novels downloaded through Audible or Libro.fm and start listening. While you close your eyes and enjoy the ride, those judgmental people on the bus will never know about your guilty pleasure. Or you can realize that being ashamed of your sexuality is so 2020 and display those nipple-clad book covers for all to see.

Monday to Friday slave
Dear Robin,
This summer I’m working a full time, Monday-Friday, 9-5 job for the first time in my life, and boy, is it exhausting. Any tips on how to survive the long weeks?
Sincerely,
Workin’ for the weekend
Hello,
40 hour work weeks are tough, and in my humble opinion, should not be the norm. But here we are. I like to stash a small blanket under my desk for when the break room is empty and I can nap on the corner couch in peace. I also order my Starbucks online in advance so I can quickly pick up my venti coffee during my breaks. Also, last spring I felt so tired during my day job only to realize my allergy medication was of the drowsy variety, so make sure your medication doesn’t cause major fatigue too.
