Weigh-In Wednesday – Burnout Is So Lit

Posted on by Paul In The Buff

The inherent truth behind this statement is a spirit crushing reflection on our society. We praise those who work themselves to death. We don’t take our vacation days, or call-in sick, and have water-cooler conversations about how much PTO we’ve accumulated as if it were a badge of honor. We hand out awards for perfect attendance, but don’t recognize how showing up while sick isn’t productive, or may have had even more significant negative impacts to productivity because you shared what was making you ill. We brag about making it to work through that horrendous blizzard, scoff at those who played it safe, and stayed home, and then pity the ones who die in their car because they tried, and didn’t make it.

In honor, and eager anticipation of the opening of SPAM-A-LOT I’ve decided to highlight some of the spam I see on my website every day. With over 530 blog entries, I have only 165 approved, and legitimate (mostly)comments in my blog. Fortunately I have a bunch of security set up because, I shit you not, my security has blocked, since this summer, 13,507 malicious or questionable login attempts, and 42,708 malicious or Spam comments!

The concept of that things will change based on a random location of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun seems kind of silly, doesn’t it? Aside from financial expectations created by the government, and banking institutions, what truly changes on January 1st? Not much. So don’t look for resolutions here. I’m going to continue on my personal growth paths, and do my best to keep myself in line with what I am trying to achieve.

High jinks was a popular 18th century drinking game in Scotland. The game involved throwing a die, and if the caster got a bad score, they had to choose between drinking more alcohol or performing an undignified task.

If your car is dark gray, and mostly covered in snow, congratulations! Your car is perfectly camouflaged for the environment you’re driving in, and could be nearly invisible to other drivers! Please turn on your lights. You’re not doing yourself any favors driving in stealth mode.
