The Law of Conservation of Bullshit

20060104-1634

Real Quick:

Bullshit, like matter or energy, can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only be made to change forms.

This is an important thing to remember before switching jobs, switching friends, and making any sort of important life decisions. Bullshit is one of the elemental particles of human existence. Things are never better, only different. Your goal in life should be to find the type of bullshit that best suits your personality.

I, for example, greatly prefer the bullshit of highly logical people to that of highly emotional people. And I prefer the bullshit of drunk people to that of sober people. If you're a naturally claustrophobic person, you might want to leave your job working in a mineshaft for one working in an Arizona manure farm. Success is simply a matter of finding the shit that -- for you -- doesn't stink.

Now. Back to work.
