Karoshi… Do Not Want
Work has been crackers. I mean, it gets busy sometimes but lately it’s been nothing but frantic and I can feel it. Partly it’s the season, partly it’s my own fault, but mostly I attribute much to Murphy.
Which is why when I saw this article about Japanese salary men working so much they keel over dead I thought, Do not want. It happens often enough that they even have a word for it: Karoshi.
Absolutely. Positively. Do. Not. Want.

“partly it’s my own fault” ?
No. I’d tell you if it was.
Just so you know.

Well, I could have timed certain h-u-g-e projects better, and you know that.

No, really, I know otherwise.
This one is mostly on Murphy.
Not your fault, pal. You get to go to sleep blameless. And please, do so.
