This week on our panel, we have Jamison Dance. JAMISON:  Hello friends. CHUCK:  Joe Eames. JOE:  Hello there. CHUCK:  Merrick Christensen. MERRICK:  Hey. CHUCK:  And I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. This week we’re going to be talking about burnout, I’m assuming you’ve all experienced burnout? MERRICK:  Does anybody else feel weird saying hello into a microphone? I feel like Joe sounded like this Texan guy. Like you never know what you’re supposed to say. JOE:  Howdy, partner. MERRICK:  Yeah, exactly. More like a response coming, you know. It’s funny. CHUCK:  Yeehaw! JAMISON:  You’re just rolling the dice. MERRICK:  Yeah. I feel like [inaudible] or something, so people know it’s me. JAMISON:  You just never know what’s going to come out. MERRICK:  You really don’t. Sometimes, I’m like, “Maybe I’m going to go Little John on this thing and I don’t know. [Chuckles] JOE:  From now on, instead of saying hello, I’ll do this one, [sound] [Laughter] JAMISON:  Let’s get a soundboard. JOE:  I’ve got a soundboard here. CHUCK:  Oh, nice.

[Laughter] CHUCK:  I’ve thought about getting soundboards for the different segments, like the picks and stuff, but nah. JAMISON:  It took us 30 seconds to wander off topic. CHUCK:  I know. JAMISON:  Let’s talk about burnout. CHUCK:  Burnout. JAMISON:  Can we get a definition of burnout, to channel Josh Susser. JOE:  You define it, Jamison. JAMISON:  I was reading on Wikipedia, as one does when you’re trying to learn about something. It says it’s a psychological term for long-term exhaustion and diminished interest in work. CHUCK:  Ooh, that’s very good. MERRICK:  I like that. JOE:  A long-term exhaustion. Okay. JAMISON:  So, it’s not just like, “I’m feeling lazy today.” It’s, “I’m feeling lazy this month or lazy when I’m at work this month.”
