About Severance And Back To Work

Post 1699:

When I’m at work, I just want to be at work. All the fun things I could be doing when I’m not at work, I don’t want to think about. I don’t even want to know that there’s anything besides work. Because going to work and staring at a computer is as good as it gets. Have you gotten better? Stop lying. Computer staring is rad and don’t even try to say it’s not.

There are people that check out of life. Tragedy strikes, things go bad, the cards don’t come, the chips don’t do a thing, the bow breaks, other sayings, etc.

But you know what? Totally checking out is not brave or cool. Totally checking out and also getting back to work is where it’s at. I want to not check out but literally not be able to think about the people I love or the passions in my soul or the time I went 170 or the time it rained and I kissed a girl by the lake.

Anyway, there’s a show called Severance. Everyone I’ve talked to about it thinks it is a really good show and they are excited about it existing.

I do not like it. When I watch this show, I want to go to work and forget that I saw it.

It has all the ingredients. But the most important ingredient—things have to happen. The high-concept science fiction deal is always a gamble because you have to predict what people will be okay not knowing.

Weird, neat or strange questions still require answers. If you don’t provide adequate information, I’m going back to work.

Cheers and see you after.
