Flier
Got a flier in the mail (at work) today for Workplace Wellness.
Some things stood out.
First, is it just me or does Ex-Stress Yourself sound like a way to add extra stress into your life?
(Announcer voice, “If you don’t have enough stress in your life, here are ten easy ways to add some EXTRA BONUS stress!”)
Second,
“Do you wake up tried, fatigured, and unwilling to face another day of impacted stress?”
Impacted stress? Yikes! That sounds like something that requires either Metamucil or an expensive trip to the dentist. I definitely want to avoid “impacted stress.”
Third,
“Does “core renewal” sound appealing?”
No. No, it doesn’t. It sounds like something you’d do to a nuclear reactor that’s going bad.
Lastly,
“You can learn preventive measures to increase your quality of life at work.”
Well that just came out ALL wrong, didn’t it?
Luckiy, I destressed myself by laughing at the flier, so I can skip the conference.
