"Our work will at least have distracted us, it will have provided a perfect bubble in which to invest our hopes for perfection, it will have focused our immeasurable anxieties on a few relatively small scale and achievable goals, it will have given us a sense of mastery, it will have made us respectably tired, it will have put food on the table. It will have kept us out of greater trouble."
Alain de Botton, "The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work"
I will take on a new role in my career, as in-house counsel, starting this week. This will be the pleasurable distraction that I was seeking.
