This line is so perfectly on the nose it could be in a McSweeney's article and yet here it is in reality. We are truly on the weirdest timeline.
Many Burning Man guides, including the original arctic monkey guide that I first read about 20 years ago, specifically warn against making any life altering decisions for weeks after Burning Man.

Given the long lines and the mud this year my "idea" would be to skip future festivals.
I like how somehow this was the final straw.
Maybe he forgot to submit his PTO into Workday.
