You need a break.

你該休息了！

You Have a Quad Americano Three Times a Day

一天喝三次美式咖啡

Does your barista know your orders based on the look that is on your face when you walk? Do you have a morning, afternoon, and evening order all with at least four shots of espresso? Maybe it’s time to step back and realize that all the caffeine in the world is not going to make your work go away.

單憑你走路的神情，咖啡店員就知道你想點什么了吧？你是不是每天早中晚至少要喝四杯濃縮咖啡？那么是時候反省反省了——靠咖啡因刺激不可能長久提高工作效率。

You Are Never Home

從不歸家

Your roommates don’t believe you exist. They get the rent check but never actually see you. Your house looks impeccable because you have not had enough time to spend there to make it dirty. You have just a couple of groceries in your pantry, and the refrigerator is empty with the exception of condiments that have a two year expiration date. You are literally home to sleep and wake up early to do it all over again. It’s an unsustainable lifestyle. You live and breathe work.

你的室友都意識不到你的存在。他們會收到你的房租支票，卻很難見到你本人。你的屋子看上去完美無瑕，因為你很少呆在里面，更別說把屋子搞臟搞亂了。你的碗柜里有那么幾顆蔬菜，冰箱里除了過期兩年的調味品便再也沒有其他。其實你也回來睡覺，但醒來后便人去屋空。這種生活方式簡直不像話——你只為了工作而活！
