Proof that work is just not worth it
So, my boss is someone that regularly puts in 12-14 hour work days. I say - what a crazy ass!
Anyways, I recently found out she is only 38 - but she looks well over 50! Yikes. Sucks for her. I chalked that haggard look up to all of the working.
Then just yesterday she did not show up for work. Later in the day we got word that she was in the hospital. She had gone in the night before with chest pains and they had admitted her. Apparently she had something that was caused by stress that made the tissue around her heart swell, resulting in crazyass chest pains. Nothing can be done about it except taking pain killers. And it usually lasts about 10 days in most people. Around 2pm today the hospital released her. At 4pm she was sending out emails from home. What a crazy bitch.
So, there are two takeaway from this:
- Work will make you unsexy
- Work will give you a heart attack
Now, let’s take it to the streets people!

I feel you on this one…but working makes money and money is something I can spend. So I think in the end it’s all good…
