I am a big kid. I enjoy playing practical jokes (both administering and receiving), the occasional prank phone call to a fellow employee, and I make a conscious decision everyday to do something I enjoy. I have decided to give up my office job, and this has been one of the best decisions I have made. Business environments are such that the personality of employees are being suppressed constantly until they are mere drones. I have seen this happen to friends, who now resort only to “corporate speak” even in social environments. People are taking themselves much too seriously.
When we were kids, we liked to create, take risks, spend time with friends and enjoy life. As adults, we make an effort to look young but never to act young. In fact, having fun is often looked down upon by “serious” types. Having fun is seen as a “waste of time”. All of the things we used to do as kids to have fun are now regarded as wasteful. Yet acceptable means of fun have somehow transformed into drinking, cigar smoking and the occasional sporting event.
