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.
