A letter to the guy that invented working,

F U pal. What did I ever do to you? I can only imagine what traumatic incident happened in your childhood to cause you to want to punish everyone else in the world. Look, I understand that there is a global economy to be run and all, but what about having fun? That is important too. Without fun there wouldn't be a need for the Happiest Place on Earth (Disneyland, not Nordstrom like some of you are probably thinking) and without the Happiest Place on Earth, well, I can't even imagine what that kind of a world would be like (I'm thinking more places like Dollywood and Neverland Ranch). Now I realize that in order to run said Happiest Place, people have to actually work there. But to me that is what every one's work should be like. Dancing down the streets to piped in music and the smell of freshly popped popcorn (from the early 90's not the stuff they have now - it doesn't even make your tongue burn). I don't understand why you had to force people to work and toil their lives away filling them with stress, and creating flat butts from sitting in chairs all day. Couldn't you have made it a requirement to do something that you are passionate about and have interest in? What a novel idea. Doing something you actually love. Turns out most of us don't really know what that is you heartless bastard. It's not like we haven't thought about it. If I could figure out a way to sit on my couch and watch TV all day, I would do it in a hot second. But thanks to you, instead of really focusing on what I may be able to parlay in to a career, I am forced to clock in day in and day out to collect a paycheck. I know I went to college and double majored and am not using any skills I learned there. And I know that I did an internship in one field for a few months and then started working for a construction company. And then a few months after that I worked in catering and then changed to accounting and now have moved on to real estate. So I'm a little indecisive. Hey, do you happen to know the guy who invented therapy? I think I need to talk to him too. S
