Temp Hides Fun, Fulfilling Life From Rest Of Office

I read this article eons ago when I was a lawyer and couldn’t stop laughing. As a lawyer, it resonated with me. Now, a decade later, it’s a humorous reminder to work to live and not the other way around.

My two favorite quotes:

• “I don’t want to rub in how much I get to do the things I want to do,” Braxton said. “I feel sorry for them. They go home after a hard day, and they’re so fried they just spend the night sitting in front of the TV. You know how these people spend their weekends? Resting. They rest.”

• “They wanted to go for the brass ring and really live the good life,” Braxton said. “What they don’t seem to get is that the key to living the good life is to avoid that brass ring like the fucking plague.”
