For many years I worked in a professional photolab working in 100& absolute total darkness. I would load the film on the processors. We had a negative (C-41) and a positive (E-6) processor that moved slower than I could load them. When we had a lot of film I could get the film loaded on the racks and then just have to wait around for the next cycle on the processor. In total darkness with nothing to do is boring fast, especially after many years. I often would be back there for an hour with nothing to do but pace around being real careful not to walk into a wall or table. There was no hint of light, it was as dark as a coal mine with no lights.

I knew the few steps I could make going back and forth or I could just stand there. There was no place to sit except on a chemical stained floor. I am sure standing on concrete for all those years did no good for the cartilage in my hip.

I do know that I am "right footed" in that anytime I pivot on a foot it is usually with my right foot. My right shoe always has more wear than the left shoe. It was my right hip I had replaced. Pay attention to your walking. When you turn a corner which foot do you plant to change directions?
