I figured it out, the meaning of life, the meaning of work!!!! It all just came together!!!Woho, as Pippi Longstocking said: "If you don't go to school you don't get vacation".
And guess what I am getting? Vacation! Starting tomorrow. But really it's starting today because I just had a chat with the few dazed and confused economizers who are currently in the office about how honestly I think I'd rather be doing something else and nobody was shocked and also nobody was my boss, so it was a nice little practice run, but felt good anyway. Then economist No. 1 got everyone coffee, real coffee, not that stingy, economically friendly, instant junk.
Now I am mentally preparing my bathing suits, trying to remember if Miami in the 'winter' is too cold for sandals, stuffing my face with Armenian sweets and am pretty confident that next year I'll be doing exciting things and I am telling you, the meaning of life is all about not economizing and possibly about getting a monkey to sit on your shoulder and the meaning of work is to do it so you appreciate not having to do it. Or more eloquently put "work is the means of life; leisure the end" (don't remember who said this). A bit depressing that one. Hmpf, I better spend the rest of the day refining this thought because I KNOW the end does not justify the means and thus there must be a better means out there, a means that in itself spells out yay and stars and balloons.
