Memoirs of a reluctant Bulker

Dear Mr. Bodyauditor,
My current situation is quite stressful, and possibly more than anyone person should have to handle:

-My boss is arrogant and flippant

-I work like 10 hours a day, five days a week

-Traffic stinks

-My car is old and only has a CD player (I really would appreciate Satellite radio)

-And I’m having a hard time sticking to my diet

Signed,

Stressed out

RESPONSE:
 

Good Afternoon Stressed Out,

Three facts for your consideration:

-Today, there are two astronauts performing maintenance on the Hubble telescope (a multi-billion dollar project) up in space, 350 miles above sea level, with massive suits and gloves on that will protect them from the negative 455 degree temperatures, all while hoping they are not instantaneously obliterated by space debris travelling at speeds in excess of 17,500 miles per hour.
 

-Yesterday, three people lost their lives during a freak tornado/thunderstorm that blew through Missouri. Along with the loss of life, dozens of homes/structures were totaled and thousands of structures lost power for several hours. Today, the subsequent homeless are picking up the pieces and rebuilding by any means necessary….

-There are over 3.2 million refugees in Somalia right now, living in the desert, fending off diseases you and I have long since forgotten about, struggling to survive on grains of rice each day who still appreciate the opportunity to wake up each morning….

Hope this helps put things into perspective.

Signed,

The thankful Bodyauditor
