The Motivation Switch is in the "off" position

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’m working on a theory along with a coworker friend of mine. We noticed how, during the summer months, everyone in New York City seems to be completely unmotivated to do anything work-related. Generally, anyone in NYC who performs a service-related job is very likely to give you a “screw you, I’m on vacation” attitude during the three-month period from June 15 - September 15.

So here’s the theory. Every June 15, someone (probably a politician) throws the Master Motivation Switch to “off” and everyone starts goofing around.

We can prove this theory if we find the location of the switch and the politician in control of it. Personally, I think it’s Governor Pataki and the switch is located somewhere in Albany, but I’ve heard equally good arguments for Mayor Giuliani and Gracie Mansion.

Your guess?

The switch is deep underground in an abandon subway station in the downtown area. The switch gets thrown my the migration of the giant alligators as the move to and from their summer hunting grounds in central park.

I’d offer a guess, but screw you, I’m on vacation.

Not to mention those Damn Ninja Turtles & their F’ing Giant Talking Rat.

It’s not just New York. I’m 200 miles south of Enwye, in Baltimore, and this unmotivational syndrome is running rampant here, too. Hell, I’m being bogged down by it, but it’s all right, because I’m on vacation. Really.

I think the Motivation Switch is a Good Thing.

Could, I dunno, the summer VACATION THAT YOU HAVE FOR 2-3 MONTHS EVERY YEAR GROWING UP have anything to do with it?
