i finally got around to finishing reading Candide,

"Let us work without reasoning," said Martin, "it is the only way to make life endurable."
..." and Martin above all concluded that man was born to live in the convulsions of anxiety or the lethargy of boredom."

personally, work without reasoning has become such a bore as to become my prime source of anxiety...
so, i took the day off work today.

hurray for our side!
