A picture I posted on Tumblr
This is my friend Jim. I would like to use him as an example of people who work too much. He is a lawyer at a fancy downtown DC firm where he defends the big drug companies from the merciless public. (No judgement.) He works weekends. He often works so late that he can’t rely on the Metro to get him home, because it might stop running before he does. When he finally gets a day off to play (on a bus full of friends), he falls asleep.
He doesn’t plan on doing this forever, thank god, but in the meantime I can’t help but cringe as I think of him eating nothing but fast food and seeing little daylight. Godspeed, Laser.
