To Be Gruntled Again

BritBox works hard. Works hard, plays hard, and procrastinates hard...well, maybe later. Aiming the BritBox skeeball between the uncompromising siderails and tricky low-scoring holes of the Internet is a labor of love, not a slavish devotion to commerce. Love usually costs money instead of making money, although it generally depends on which side of the love you end up.

Pulling levers and flipping switches behind the curtain of an entertaining, informative, and annoying Website requires a lot of time and effort—kind of like the restoration of a classic and worthy automobile. Resorting to clever mathematical formulas and depreciation tables in an attempt to set a "value" on the object of your desire is futile and bone-headed. If you want to express yourself and enjoy the satisfaction that comes from perseverance and craftsmanship, build a sports car, a Website, a ship in a bottle, or macaroni artwork. If you want to build something that makes money, try a stock market portfolio. Don't you wish you bought Exxon/Mobil shares like, maybe, fifty years ago? Here's another hot tip from BritBox: Microsoft, Google, and Wal-Mart look like they could get really big, ever since they won those licenses to print money. Don't tell anyone.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to be engaged in a career that is challenging, satisfying, rewarding, and monetarily sufficient. The rest of the workforce toils in the dim half-light of working for The Man, whoever he is, and Making Ends Meet. Whistling While You Work is subject to specific company policies and guidelines; please observe the rules about designated whistling areas, and whistle-free zones. Thank you.

Go ahead, be disgruntled and miserable; just stop surfing armament sites and browsing scoped rifles. Baking rat poison into the boss's bran muffin (yes, he needs more fiber, and he talks about it endlessly) is only a temporary solution at best. Take that hate and frustration, ball them up like old newspaper, and use them to fuel the smoldering fires until you hit the timeclock each night. If your so-called career sucks, just remember that your job is not necessarily your life—it's just the stinky unpleasant thing you have to do to finance your life.

Last tip: don't cook the macaroni.
