How often have you had to remind yourself that work is not a substitute for a life?

How often? Whenever I see suckups, backstabbers or the office jerk in action, it reminds me of a better life practically anywhere else. Imagine a tour is going through your company and as they describe the place it kinda goes like this: in this room we have the copy machine, in this room we have the widget maker, and in this room we have the "Robert" - just put a quarter in the slot behind his neck and he works!

It's gotta get better than this.
