The Working Experience

We have a new series of sorts for your listening pleasure! We are calling the series ‘The Working Experience Survival Kit.’  The series will consist of guided meditations, guided naps, and soulless affirmations – and whatever else we can think of to ease the mind numbing soul deadening experience of the modern workplace!  And someday in the near future we will have an app – because, your entire life should revolve around your phone…and be on the lookout for branded pills, lotions, ointments, crystals, and prayer rocks!

TGIM!  The boss man does not cancel Mondays in the summer...the weekend party is over, time to get your hustle on!

Leisure Time is for Losers and Health Care that will Bankrupt You...God Bless America!  What do you do in your leisure time? Some people blow bubbles or play mini golf. Other people try to crush children in games of volleyball. We riff on that and the lousy health care system in our country. Enjoy. 

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Have a great time celebrating our nation! And remember, fireworks are even more fun when you're hammered! Forget safe and sane, let's have some dumb and dangerous!

Get ready to start working less. Here come the machines. But what are we going to do? Wander the streets? Write the Great American Novel? Maybe just watch TV and feel good about ourselves. 

Be Careful of Workaholism...but Work Long Hours!  Apparently there is a distinction between being a workaholic and working long hours. If you lose sleep over your job and are compulsively checking your work email during out of work hours then you might be a workaholic. Matty K really doesn't work at all so he is in the clear...John and Matt also discuss the optimal Worklife Balance Matrix and when applying to their own live, then both failed.

Shhhhhhh.....don't worry about Monday, or the rest of the week, or for that matter the rest of your life. In a thousand years, it still won't get done. 

 It's summer time and it's Friday! Time to load up the car, sit in traffic for 5 hours and have fun if it kills you!

Who to vote for? What are the issues? How does a person get elected? All the answers and more from The Working Experience.

Best to talk it out, then to actually do something about it.

Lying to one's boss for not being at work is a time honored tradition. However, maybe it is time to grow up and be real. However, if you really need to lie, don't use the old "food poisoning" excuse. Way played out. Tell them you had a limb amputated.
