Work

My Grandpa Peterman once responded to my statement that he worked too much that I had a negative attitude about work.  He went into further detail about it, but let me say that I did have, and sometimes still do, a negative attitude about work.  This video (contains graphic description about sheep castration) got my attention in a big way:

Work is a good thing – I’m glad to be employed and part of the problem of our economy has been the glamorization of not working.  Or working less.  I don’t like to be exhausted from work (which I have been in the last few weeks) but I do like honest physical labor, good intellectual challenges in coding, and to achieve something that is sometimes mundane, sometimes new, but always a job well done.

Keep up the good work.  And if you’re not, change that.
