Giving New Meaning To The Office Treadmill Meme

Florida firm turns to treadmill desks %u2013 The Florida Bar. We had a treadmill in the house once. It served us well as a clothes hangar, heavy object stand, and objet d'art. However, it never occurred to me to put one in the office. I have toyed with the idea of putting a recliner behind the desk, and I actually bought an office chair that was supposed to recline fully. Of course, it was a Chinese import as I didn't want to invest a lot of cash on an Internet product. It didn't work. I still enjoy putting my feet up on the desk sometimes, though. This gives Savannah a bridge back and forth. Working all day on a treadmill? I don't think so.

Lorem ipsum - Pain And Pleasure

Lorem ipsum and the Meaning of Life %u2013 How to Think Like a Roman Emperor.  Lorem ipsum is a mangled Latin phrase taken from a Cicero text, and used in publishing as filler in graphic design applications. However, as Donald Robertson examines the actual Cicero text, the phrase acquires a subtext of meaning, and can be used to discuss the philosophers who pondered the meaning of life in early human history. Lorem is a piece of the word "dolorem", Latin for "pain". Ipsum means "very" in Latin. It is a nonsense phrase, taken out of context. However, the passage from Cicero that it comes from is a discussion of pain and pleasure, and humans' natural desire to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Of course, the Stoics tell us that pain is unavoidable, and the best way to deal with it is to welcome it as part of life, and to bear it with dignity. The Epicureans thought that pleasure was the ultimate good, and that it should be sought at all cost. Of course, as with all things, it gets complicated. Some find pleasure in pain, or the cessation of it. Some austere souls avoid pleasure, and find enjoyment in their austerity. Somewhere in all of this lies an understanding of life, and each of us gets to decide how we are going to live. You get to decide today whether you are going to accept the pain of your existence, as well as the pleasures the day provides, and get on with life, or curl up in a ball and avoid all sensations. I hope you decide to soldier on, and enjoy the day. It's the only one you've got.
