Overtime is evil

November 14, 2007

The more I try and read what others are saying on the world wide interweb, the more I realize that there are a lot of people out there who are a hell of a lot smarter then myself. Jarkko Laine is one of those people. While looking around his site, I found what is deemed a “popular article“. The title alone got me to read it (Never Work Overtime Again) and after reading it I can honestly say that he nailed it perfectly. Nothing could be done to improve the statements made therein.

This is going to sound like an odd article, as I have yet to write anything on this site remotely reflective or contemplative. I don’t know why, actually but that’s just how it’s turned out. In any case, I was talking to Theresa on Sunday when the topic of my friend Norm moving to Japan. She commented on how she was jealous of those who have “free lives” or those who can just “up and do it.” She also made the comment that not all of them succeed, to which I responded with “those are the ones that lack the strength of character to see it out.”
