shmeh. see, the way i look at it, there are BIG IMPORTANT THINGS and then there is everything else. i can do BITs, no matter what, because they have to be done. i don't need to prove this to anyone, because i have proved it to myself. cleaning the bathroom and doing the dishes? these do not fall under this umbrella. even though i am perfectly capeable of pushing through the pain, of moving mountains, etc etc etc, if i have a headache or my neck is bothering me, i don't clean the kitchen. i have the damn fool sense to go lay down. why? because this is not an emergency. i am not dragging a wounded comerade across a battle-field. it's all a matter of perspective. i think in some cases the "never quit!" motto is admirable, but in some cases it's just kind of, um, stupid. not to say Adam is stupid, just criticizing the mindset, you understand. i'm lucky, james and i both work on the "fuck it, it isn't important, isn't important, HOLY CRAP THIS PLACE IS A DISASTER AND WE NEED TO CLEAN RIGHT NOW" thoughtwave *grin*.
