The old expression 'work hard and play hard' is now obsolete and a wee bit retarded. People just don't have time anymore for the both of them or refuse to admit that they follow that philosophy. The people who have said that they work hard and play hard have now joined a 'work hard, play hard group' that meets on Friday evenings at 9 p.m. to discuss the concepts involved in this grand idea. Popcorn is served with small glasses of warm fruit punch.
A property manager, David Oaks, told me: "I didn't ever adhere to that philosophy...I must say that I play harder than I work and do often find time to sleep on the job. One unemployed soul said: "I play all the time and working is not a part of me in this economy. Even when I had a job, I didn't put a lot of effort into it. I knew my time was coming soon." I spoke to a woman about this philosophy when she walked out of her office. Michelle Colin, an accountant, stated: "I work hard and play hard. Yes, that is what I do. That is what life is about. That is how I experience the best of it. Now get out of my way, mother f%^#er."
