Morbidity

“Man, I think I’m heading out of here early today.”

“Same here. I worked over on Gordo’s TUS RA show, so I have some time. I can’t imagine how much time you have.”

I was at forty hours on Wednesday afternoon.”

“Ow.”

“Yeah … that, and it’s my birthday today, so I really don’t want to be here in the first place.”

“Well, happy birthday.”

“Thanks. I had a morbid thought as I walked into the building this morning; if our life expectancy is 78 years, then I’m a third of the way there at 26.”

“It could be a motivating thought.”

“Motivation? On Friday? Are you kidding me?!”
