On the Midwestern Work Ethic

[serinde]

I thought to myself, "I made it in yesterday." And I thought to myself, "Okay, admittedly, I was wobbly as hell and felt like I was going to fall down at a few points. And I could barely stay at the FCO outing, I was that tired. But I made it in. And I got stuff done." And I thought, "Sure, I feel a little wobblier this morning than I did when I got up yesterday, but I bet I could work the day through; I'm tough."

And I thought to myself, "I HAVE TWENTY SICK DAYS. This is what they are for. Stop being a Goddamn tool."

Good. You have more energy than any four people I know... You stay up later, do more at once, and end up doing a huge amount all at once. It is my humble opinion that you sometimes work yourself far, far too hard and the fallout is sometimes very bad. I'm glad you were able to talk yourself out of possibly pushing yourself beyond your bodies limits and winding up very sick because of it.

Excuse my spelling. My hands were moving without being connected to my brain.
