[quote=Anonymous]When you read thousands of tedious pages of rules and regulations week after sack-of-rocks-on-the-back dreary week, the smiley muscles in your face atrophy. People and other living beings appear as cardboard things as lifeless as yourself. You think there may be a vampire draining your blood. Your paycheck is the highlight of your existence.

You watch the Monty Python skit of that chartered accountant who wants to be a lion tamer and you instantly relate. Another career path has crossed (and criss-crossed) your mind but you have sunk so much of your soul into your career that switching would be like a barnacle getting the courage to detach itself into the open sea.

“A few more years and I will retire” you repeat to yourself, unsure of what to do with so much free time should that day come before turning your face to the wall and dying like Bartleby the Scrivener.

Boring does not take energy and if it had a smell, fire detector or C02 alarms would go off when you walked by.

Imagine having to read Ulysses by James Joyce at least once a month year after year then submit book reports week after week. Your mind feels like it is full of maggots.

And you ask, “Why are you so boring?”

Maybe now you know. Have mercy on me.
