   Not if you can avoid it.

   How old is this comic? Is it in reruns?

   But what doesn’t make you stronger, kills you.

   Some years ago, three of us flew to New York for a meeting with corporate about a new initiative for our division, which — to our surprise — was approved by corporate with almost no discussion. At the end of the meeting, HR came in, handed us a list of all employees working in our division, and locked us in a conference room (with a restroom off the corner) with just pitchers of water and hard candy, not even a phone. We weren’t allowed to leave until we had done a 15% reduction in force (i.e. listed a specific 15% of employees to be fired, with only their names and the city they worked in for background). That was Friday afternoon. I quit on Monday — saving somebody’s job. I got pushed around a lot in that job, but this was the last straw.

   This is also a prime reason why I hate HR departments. They didn’t have to handle it this way.

   Yeah, the key is to do something you enjoy. If your choice of exercise is “work” you’ll always be looking for excuses to avoid it.

   Not exercising at all is probably harder on your body (raising the risks from obesity, cardiovascular problems, etc.). I’ll never understand such people :)

   Lots of people (including me) have a PhD degree but don’t use the term Doctor. I find it pretentious. I don’t object to medical doctors using it, because they might be useful in a medical emergency (if RNs and EMTs wanted to have a title, I’d be find with that).

   Reminds me of the 1996 SNL skit with Will Ferrell and Cheri O’Terri as Spartan cheerleaders at a chess tournament.

   OK, there’s joy here, but the cyclist in me can’t look at this without thinking about safety issues.
