A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on.

Trying to conceal the fact that I was a gay, effeminate, hyperactive, adopted child with a serious lisp in southern Louisiana would have been like trying to hide Dolly Parton in a string bikini! |

I think taking vacations and turning off the phone and only doing emails or social media for a specific short amount of time helps with work/life balance.
