I wonder if it could also be a metaphor for graduate life.
It's a metaphor for many things.
When economists gloat about "productivity" improvements, we don't realize it comes at the expense of our quality of life. After all, humans are humans, and can't be "optimized" to produce like machines - it's unnatural - Orwelian.
Oh yes, economic improvement often comes at the expense of many things - education, divorce, etc. LIke when people got all excited on the news about the boost in new jobs after Hurricane Katrina. Yeah, I think we'd all skip a boost in construction jobs if we could have skipped that disaster.
Glad you posted it, It's thought provoking. And still feels like grad life sometimes!
it took me a while to figure this out. My brain must be really fried right now.
Hm. Sounds like chic mommy is taking comps, too.
.. or raising 3 kids. Not sure which one is more taxing.
LOL
My vote goes for raising 3 kids as more taxing. At least comps ends. Kids don't for at least 18 years! ACK!
Awesome :-)

nice cartoon, and yes, i identify with ure dilemma on the Onslaught of the Short(ER) Sleeves! lol. post soon, dude.
Yup. Been quiet lately. Photo class is taking up all my free time and creative juices. It ends this Saturday and I'll be posting again soon!
What can I say...we are all prostitutes to the world of capitalism.
Oh well...life's like that!
I see there is a Left streak in this blogger who describes himself as "corporate whore".
Workers of the world unite. Down down capitalism.
Sumit - I'm a BIG believer in free-market capitalism. Unfortunately what we have today is a mangled mess that's being manipulated every which way.
It's a little unsettling when a CEO makes a thousand times the average employee and drones on about productivity issues. I'm not willing to sacrifice my personal life and my health so he/she can make a few more millions.
