“They just announced layoffs are coming.”

“Ohhhh that’s too bad.” 

“Now I’m going to see the worst sides of my coworkers.”

Same conversation. Different people. Just heard it yet again. I feel for some people, I do. But our world needs to move out of Survival Mode. Survival Mode is that place that allows you to justify your mistreatment of others.

Survival Mode should have a shelf life. And we’ve been in Survival Mode at least since 2008, possibly before that.

The concept of Survival Mode inspired a concept for my book:

The Y2K-Infected Barbarian Sex Cannibals.

Happy Friday The 13^th, Y2K-Infected Barbarian Sex Cannibals—and all of you normal people too!

(I’m not being holier-than-thou here. I’ve just learned to recognize the Y2K-Infected Barbarian Sex Cannibal-ness in myself and move forward. I’m taking life one day at a time.)

Pssssst.
