Case in point, duct tape and Krazy Glue.

I am very sorry about your dad. That scares the shit out of me and I think I won’t share that tidbit with my wife. She had a rough time with it as she was not expecting that I would have such major health incident at such a young age.

My firm has been in operation for almost twenty years. The most common addiction, even if you don’t get physically hooked, are uppers. Ritalin, focalin, energy drinks, etc. Anything that gives you hyper focus.

As far as consequences go, I had four stents installed at 44 and cancer at 49. It should have been a bypass but my surgeon is a fucking rockstar. Had I not given up red meat in my twenties, I probably would have had a massive heart attack before forty.

Mental health is always a struggle, but we try to implement as many safeguards as possible. It’s still not enough.

We have an entire set of rules for mandatory time off, max hours between rest and sabbaticals between large projects, and it is still a struggle to keep staff healthy. It is just a brutal line of work. It takes a toll on your body too. Shit, I had to get four stents on my heart at 44 and cancer at 49.
