While cuddling up with my RSS feeder this morning I stumbled upon this gem.
First, it is an absolute great read on time management and not letting the world suck your brain out of your head via your nose circa "Total Recall".
Secondly, this blog has a very active comment section and I will sometimes peruse these as a kind of thermometer for what others thought. This is when out of nowhere I found a great line from the seventh commentor bemoaning his job and how he cannot do time management but must take continual abuse or get "canned". He kvetchs on and on about how people in general do not have this much freedom and then says "...if you do, well, it must be nice." Pardon me while burst into flames.
1) It is nice, that's why he is sharing it, because his life is nice and your life should be nice too.
2) I once went to Las Vegas with Kelsey for eighteen hours (4pm - 10am). The flight was free and the whole trip cost under $200. It was the first time we had left Teagan or the business overnight in eighteen months. We got back and somebody said "Must be nice". This two day weekend person. This get home at 5pm from work person. This personal bills and nothing else person. Come on, really?
3) Lastly, I do not know anybody who actually has problems and uses this phrase. People who have cancer don't use this phrase about those of us who don't. People who have to take care of sick parents. People who have special needs kids. People who have physical disabilities.
My guess would be this commentor makes a comfortable living and is afforded the advantage of having poeple decide his life for him so he doesn't have to think for himself, must be nice.
