Cybersalt News
Sunday greetings everyone!
This past week was one of the busiest I've had in a very long time. Between meetings — both work and personal — and everything happening on the business side of Cybersalt, it's been full-on! I'm not complaining, though. It's been genuinely rewarding. And while rewarding doesn't mean it isn't tiring, I'll take tired-with-a-sense-of-reward over just plain tired any day.
Today's video share is a helpful reflection on the struggle we have with Negative Thoughts.

Overworked
(These numbers need to be updated, but the principle remains...)
For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked.
The population of the US is 237 million.
104 million are retired.
That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.
Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.
And you're sitting at your computer reading jokes.
One-Liner #2007
The fact that most captchas are based on robots not being able to identify bikes or traffic lights doesn't fill me with confidence for self-driving cars.
A Pigeon Pun 😂
I gave the rest of my pastry to two pigeons.
I smiled when I realized that I had filled two birds with one scone.

The Elevator Pinch
As the crowded elevator descended, Mrs. Wilson became increasingly furious with her husband, who was delighted to be pressed against a gorgeous blonde.
As the elevator stopped at the main floor, the blonde suddenly whirled, slapped Mr. Wilson, and said, "That will teach you to pinch!"
Bewildered, Mr. Wilson was halfway to the parking lot with his wife when he choked, "I... I... didn't pinch that girl."
"Of course you didn't," said his wife, consolingly. "I did."

When Church is Hard
We’ve all been there. We can all relate, whether we are the Pastor, the elder, the person on the worship team, or the broken-hearted person in the pew. We can even relate if we are the person in the nursery or the custodian who stays behind to do the straightening and lock-up. There are days, weeks, months, or seasons when church is hard. There was a time when church was especially hard for me, and it took a long while before change came. In the weeks, months and years after my husband abandoned me, church suddenly became hard ... excruciatingly hard.
