Comments on: Work and non-work http://www.unreliablewitness.com/2007/12/06/work-and-non-work/ Frequently pretentious since 1971. Clearly ambiguous since 2000. Completely and utterly incomprehensible since 2006. Warning: may contain synonyms.

I do, however, find that my poor readers sometimes require a break from it. Jack - Doing what under my desk? I was doing nothing of the sort! Gregor - Me old mucker, Greg! How are you, Greg?

This doesn't need to be a trod in the mud. Just pretend it's all important like everyone else, but revel in the knowledge that it is absolutely meaningless. You are able to elaborate and contribute to a communal joke, which may enrich all your lives. Where's the dread and angst? Do we not require these things in juxtaposition to add contrast in our lives? Blah? Escape is only a turn of the mind away. This doesn’t need to be a trod in the mud.

Please wash your mouth out. Clarissa - I do hope you are not interfacing internally with your customers' ass, though. That would be wrong. Jack - You do that scarily well. Are you the manager of my department, by any chance? Andre - Don't worry, dear friend. I'm sure the above commenters will be only too delighted to join me in explaining what I am going on about. It's a four letter word beginning in W and ending in K, which is far less enjoyable than the one you're now thinking of. NAGA - You are very right. Angelalala - Don't encourage him, please. Kermit - 'Actionable' is just a wrong word, isn't it? Ani - Calm down, dear, you'll give yourself an ulcer. Miles Away - I am actually kicking it. Far more satisfying. Andy - Welcome. No no no, believe me, I know the difference between 'mental health issues' and 'mind-mapping' all too well. Petemaskreplica — You just said “building public value”. Please wash your mouth out.
