Binge - Chandler Binge

So its the age of binges now.  We binge eat, binge read and binge watch.  Compartmentalization is the key, you say?  Sadly, that is a word that only exists in the vocabulary of Indian Railways, Airlines cabin crews and HR seminars and expositions discussing organizational structure.  But i digress, which is a cardinal sin in binging.  Carry on, follow through.  Never, ever, ever digress.

We overwork, we over think, we more often than not tend to over eat (thank you, expesnive buffets and MBA classes teaching value for money concepts).  Stands to reason we would extend the same courtesy to our poor beleaguered recreational outlets.

Sure we can put fancy titles on things - longform, limited anthology release and what not (fancy titles always makes things better.  If I was Graphical Data Representation Expert, Niche Service Development Consultant, Purveyor of all things Analytics and Connoisseur of all things Caffeine, Instead of Asst. Manager - (random boring tag), I would be much happier).

It probably all started when people started using disposable stuff.  That's probably when the use and throw mentality set in.  I blame this all on the disposable camera trend.  We now lean on things, till they break, till they disgust us or we grow sick of them.  And then we move on to the next.  Wanna know the scary part?  We do that to people too, now.  Yep, Assistant Managers come in two variants.  The classic one and the Disposable one.
