Is Work Killing You?

I am continually amazed at the lengths some people will go to in order to get out of work. Take the following story from the Associated Press, for example.

Japanese Cop Stabbed Self to Avoid Work

Yes, you read that headline correctly. He stabbed himself just to get some time off because he felt he was being overworked.

Let's hop on this fella's logic train for a moment. Work is stressful. Too many hours. Searches his mind for solution to dilemma. Comes to the brilliant conclusion that it is best for him to STAB himself in order to get the time off he wants. Ok, to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was sweet on a girl at the hospital and couldn't think of any other way to ask her out. There are chronically shy guys out there.

I sure hope the police department didn't suspend his health benefits...

UGH!
