Why I Have a Hard Time Relaxing
Or: Work Exists to Sap Your Will
Better and more interesting people than I have written about the ridiculous farce of a life that frequently accompanies the “full time” American work week. A typical day goes something like this:
- Get up and shower. (if you wake up on time)
- Drive to work.
- Work all day (or waste time online while trying to look busy)
- Leave work at 5 (if you’re lucky)
- Get home.
- Make dinner.
- Congratulations! It’s now 8 or 9 PM, generally considered to late to do much outdoors.
- Go to bed, or you’ll be too tired to repeat it all tomorrow.
