You need a break.
你该休息了!
You Have a Quad Americano Three Times a Day
一天喝三次美式咖啡
Does your barista know your orders based on the look that is on your face when you walk? Do you have a morning, afternoon, and evening order all with at least four shots of espresso? Maybe it’s time to step back and realize that all the caffeine in the world is not going to make your work go away.
单凭你走路的神情,咖啡店员就知道你想点什么了吧?你是不是每天早中晚至少要喝四杯浓缩咖啡?那么是时候反省反省了——靠咖啡因刺激不可能长久提高工作效率。
You Are Never Home
从不归家
Your roommates don’t believe you exist. They get the rent check but never actually see you. Your house looks impeccable because you have not had enough time to spend there to make it dirty. You have just a couple of groceries in your pantry, and the refrigerator is empty with the exception of condiments that have a two year expiration date. You are literally home to sleep and wake up early to do it all over again. It’s an unsustainable lifestyle. You live and breathe work.
你的室友都意识不到你的存在。他们会收到你的房租支票,却很难见到你本人。你的屋子看上去完美无瑕,因为你很少呆在里面,更别说把屋子搞脏搞乱了。你的碗柜里有那么几颗蔬菜,冰箱里除了过期两年的调味品便再也没有其他。其实你也回来睡觉,但醒来后便人去屋空。这种生活方式简直不像话——你只为了工作而活!
