"Work" is a four letter word...

Got the following in an email from my mother earlier this week:

MEDICAL ALERT

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.

This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues, or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.

Take two good friends to the nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.


Judging by how busy I’ve been for the past several weeks, I felt like I needed to post this.

At least I’ve got a nice four day weekend coming up…

This only showed up on my Google Reader today, but oh, yes, indeed. I have that disease. The thing is, WINE and BEER probably wouldn't help. Severe Load Easing Environmental Police might.
