"[You] performed well during the onboarding process [of our relationship]."
Yes. Oh heckfire YES.
I think the formula is inherently flawed.
Let's suppose that the standard 40 hour work week is the baseline at which anything above this amount worked (overtime) is towards either:
a. overtime pay (for non-exempt aka hourly employees)
b. additional work toward possible raise/promotion/beneficial work experience which will add to one's ability to make more money in the future
So "X" is equal to number of hours of overtime
Now I propose that X = Y in which Happiness is balance of the amount of extra work beyond the baseline 40 with the depression mitigating activity. (as in the proverbial work hard, play hard). "Y" is the depression mitigating activity.
So I propose Happiness is when X is = or < Y.
Wait- I'm still working this out but the general gist is that if I work 50 hours a week and that affords me one weekend day snowboarding and a night drinking (10 hours of fun on the weekend) then one would assume the extra work was worth it, especially if one assumes that what you're making at 40 hours is just making your bills work if you live somewhat fiscally responsible-like.
This all was a spontaneous proposition I hope it made some sort of sense. i'm at hour 10 right now at work.
(added) Ok I just had to add that Y MUST be a depression mitigating activity/hobby/benefit not just sitting in your boxers watching old episodes of Firefly all weekend. That's the only way "X = or < Y" must work. Because if "X > Y" then you're doing nothing but working, going home to sleep, shower, then returning to work with no payoff therefore you're definitely depressed.
"If you get killed because you're gay, the murderer gets extra time. It's hilarious! Alcoholism is a sin too, but you don't see an alcoholic pride parade. Alcoholics hide in little rooms in basements and they go, 'Hi, I'm Fred.'"
I would like this in a custom-made cross stitch, please.
i agree. and i feel super cynical for getting batshit-crazy-backwards-B-on-my-face kind of vibes here.
Oh, I didn't really need that definition rolling around in my head for the rest of my day.

What's the name of his daughter? Blu.
COINCIDENCE?!?!
The only logical explanation would be the tattoo involved his mom.
Who here remembers the Greek ship Oceanos that sank and the captain was damned near the first dude who jumped on a rescue helicopter to get out of there while the ship listed... IN OPEN SEA.
No one died thanks to the friggen band. Yes, the entertainment crew did the rescue while the ship was sideways in the water going down fast.
I need to goggle what the hell happened to that captain afterward.
Maxella? Maxette?
I repeat: NOT a new character to be introduced in the next episode of Downton Abbey.
we are down to $3500 (after expenses)
Which is still more than what I make net. BEFORE expenses.
yes to this
i actually liked this show
The same applies to dudes in sweatpants, though.
Bless you. This is the truth.
And tights are not pants.
Bless you, Dr. Teeth. You and your brilliant, punny mayhem.
2009. A friend of mine actually did this. Posted a status message that alarmed everyone, phone calls were made, family was informed and they made it to his house in time to get him to the hospital to save his life. And he was serious about killing himself in the methods (plural) he was using. Usually I would scoff at the concept of someone sending what is essentially a suicide note by posting. But he is a very dear friend of mine and one cannot understand the depths of desperation and sadness one can go. So my cold cynical heart holds sympathy and compassion for those who do this. Because if he didn't I would have lost a dear friend and his young children their father, etc.
NO. To everything about this right now. Just- NO.
Burkas are clearly the only way to resolve all of this.
