What About The Fun?

Don’t take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive. ~ Elbert Hubbard.

Yup. We're all going to die. At some point... hopefully way far away from now. And in the meantime, we should be having fun. Don't you think? Don't you wish you were having a good time all the time? While this may not be 100% possible, I don't feel it should be too far off track. I was stressing out about the school stuff. It was driving me loco. So... I had to take a break. Walk away for a bit. And go back to having some fun.

Yesterday my supervisor stormed out of the office with a comment he left behind. "I take my job too seriously." And my answer to that... holy crap! That's it! That's why he bugs me. He does. He takes his job way too seriously. No one else around this place does it like he does. All this time I've been wondering why he bothers the shit out of me. Now I know... he takes his job too seriously. Is it really worth giving yourself a heart attack over? Nope. And most of the long winded, useless emails he sends out "covering all bases" get ignored or even chuckled at. He does a decent job but most of the time he's focused on the stuff that doesn't really help us and a bunch of overkill.

Meanwhile... this guy comes into work a few months back and half his face isn't moving. I had to ask him what's wrong with his face before he did anything about it. Then he still didn't rush out to the hospital. He went back to his desk for a while. Strangely, his wife didn't even know what was going on with him. He was on his way to the hospital and she had to call me to see what's up. Dude... you do take your job way too seriously.

My point is simple. Being too serious, too often can not only do damage to your health but it can also do damage (lots of damage) to your personality. And if it does damage to the latter, things just won't be as fun as they could be. Actually, that's the case with either result here.
