Laughing My Sat Off

I love comedy. Stand up is the best. It’s all we rent from Netflix and just about all we watch on TV too. Now, I just purchased a new car with XM radio installed and 3 months free and 5 comedy only channels. That’s just awesome.

OK, while the thought of paying $12.95/mo. for XM radio that HAS F’ING COMMERCIALS is just ridiculous, I am tempted because of the comedy channels.

Now I get my laughs in the morning on my hour plus drive into work and I feel a lot better throughout the day. I work for a bank that is headquartered in… you guessed it, Wilmington, Delaware. I am the only InfoSec employee working outside of headquarters and I physically interface with nobody on a daily basis. So, laughter helps and gives me the sense that I had some kind of social interaction during the day. It has amazing effects on stress and mood and it certainly helps dealing with my job that requires driving 2+ hours a day all to sit in front computer doing paperwork, attending remote meetings, and talking on the phone… all of which could easily be 100% remotely from my home office (and in my underwear) if they would only allow it.
