I don't usuallly return to the computer post-bath, but I was setting my alarm when I overheard this on the CBC.

"Mental illness is the leading factor in loss of productivity and loss of profit in the Canadian economy. [names some talking head] says this could be due a number of factors, including shifts in demographics which have resulted in fewer people doing more work and working longer hours for basically the same pay they received 10 years ago."

That could have been so much more elegantly phrased as;

".. this could be due to LIFE SUCKING NOW for the vast majority of working Canadians."

And I thought I had some sort of longterm bad mood problem. No, I have a mental illness because capitalism sucks rocks.
