Pyotr Rubinovich, one of the civil servants here at TheDirk.com, frankly has other pursuits in life and really only works for our Web site to pay the bills. During one of his lunch breaks, he carried his quill and ink well in with him to the break room, heated up a Weight Watchers, and wrote out his goals in order of priority:
Pytor
1. Study for the LSAT
2. Spend more quality time with parents
3. Live such that I have more anecdotes to tell
4. Take old dioramas to the Salvation Army
5. Be a little more tense
But, one afternoon, Pyotr took his pot of stew out of the fridge and one thing led to another and he was engulfed in flames. This is the list of goals he wrote while he was on fire:
1. Get…stop being in flames
2. Study for the LSAT
3. Spend more quality time with parents
4. Take old dioramas to the Rba (sic)…to the Slavation (sic) Army
5. Live such that I have more anecdotes to tell
Just a lesson how, sometimes, what you once thought was so important doesn’t mean so much when life gets a little tough.
