Pots of America is brought to you by strawberry.me. The clock is ticking. The days are rolling by,

turning into weeks, months, years. We spend nearly a third of our waking hours at work,

but the unfortunate truth is that for many of us, that's time languishing away in a job we've

outgrown, or one we never wanted it in the first place, but we stick with it.

What are you trying to say, John?

Something I've got to tell you.

You say things like, I've already put years into this place.

What if the next move is even worse?

Not possible.

Yeah, really down in the minds here.

I can't afford to take a wrong step. And isn't everybody miserable at work?

There's zero chance it is, but no. And well, also by the way, doesn't a thousand episodes feel like somehow like too many, but also not enough? Like it feels like we've done more, but also how can we have done that many? We've got to keep podcasting until this thing's. Too many takes.

Got to keep going.
