Burnout? That's Bullcrap!

I was recently appalled by the Earth Zero comic book which appeared on the other side of this website. In that story, we saw the appearance of a character called a Traveller, and his struggle with "burnout".

What a wimp that Traveller guy is! Give me a break!

He's complaining about "burnout" after losing his job? Oh, boo hoo. If he thinks HE has burnout, he should try living my life!

I've gone through three marriages, started and failed five businesses, and have alimony and child support payments to make every month. Do you hear me complaining?

Nah. I do what I have to do, and that's it. I'm happy to have my gig here at the Daily Balance, as well as other freelance duties. It pays the bills -- that's the bottom line.

I think this Traveller guy has unrealistic expectations. The world is not an easy, fun place. He better buck up, because it's not going to get any easier for him. If anything, it'll get worse.

Hopefully, he has his priorities straight -- God, family, and THEN work. If not, he's in REAL trouble.

And please, no more whiny photo comics, Tony and Damian. I'm trying to keep down my lunch.
