11 Reasons That You Need Fresh Air

23 November 2018

1. The number of disasters hitting you every second exceeds your heartbeat.
2. Your coworker, against the weather forecast, insists it will snow today because “they” can make anything happen.
3. Instead of working with Laravel 5.7, you’re stuck using Symfony 2.6.
4. The project owner, living in Paris and out of reach for your venting, demands a requested bundle be added to the project within 24 hours, or they’ll cancel the entire company contract.
5. You might accidentally punch your monitor instead of the wall, and the damage will be deducted from your salary.
6. A band-aid is lying in your path toward the balcony, yard, or any open-air area.
7. The office tea has run out and won’t be restocked until next Monday.
8. In the past hour, you’ve read at least one article whose entire goal was to tear down one of your favorite figures.
9. Your decision to quit has become more serious than ever.
10. You reflect on the six months spent in Istanbul (or any city other than your own) and feel it was wasted time.
11. You wonder how many seconds it would take for consciousness to fade if your head were cut by a guillotine.
