OMG

I have heard the words “Oh my God” so much in the past 4 weeks, and it’s terrible. I think I die a little each time I hear that nasty tone when it’s uttered. Were talking about work here if you’re asking. Nothing seems to be going in the right direction, even if I ask for the right path. Numerous times I have mixed religion and science together as my secret recipe for success. But it doesn’t seem to work nowadays.

Through this tiring months I learned something important. It is that, too much work can sharpen you like a sword…and more work can dull you like an overused kitchen knife. This statement is not far from what Jack said in Stephen King’s movie THE SHINING.

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…..”
(He typed this a couple of hundred times during the movie.)

So did overworking made Dennis a dull boy? Most certainly! It’s a relief when Ed brought Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan over for a couple of days. A break from the norms was needed to break the pressure of the job that broke me.

But as someone told me a long time ago, (I freakin forgot who you were man!) “We can’t runaway from our problems.” So I faced the problem head on and looked it dead in the eye.

The problem at work is still unresolved. Jack is still a dull boy…and so am I.
