Crushing the Pandemic® Day 151

I’m hearing lots of talk about pandemic burnout lately.

People are starting to get a Jack Torrance vibe, cooped up inside day after day after day. All work, no play.

It’s scary.

Everyone’s asking, how can I bring my “A” CrushGame™ when my soul is being crushed so hard by this damned virus? How can I show the world my GrindFace™, when I’m forced to wear a mask every time I step out into this terrifying world?

First of all, I hear you. This shit sucks.

Second of all, shut your dumb face. Because most things suck, and that should never stop you from delivering a 5am gut punch to every single day that dares cross your path.

You think COVID is so terrifying? Look at everything we’ve overcome in our history: recessions, depressions, war, terrorism, boy bands.

We’ve seen the worst and shown our best in return. Now you’re crying because you have to sit on your couch for 8-10 hours a day?

How about you get your bloated butt off said couch, stand up straight, and feel the righteous pride of someone who can obliterate over 100 emails per hour, bitch slap a dozen zoom meetings each day, and still have time to bang out a semi-accurate timesheet before the week is through?

To paraphrase the great American CrushMaster™, Thomas J. Hanks, “there is no crying in Crushville™.”

So wipe that loser water off your face already and get out there and play ball.
