This syndrome affects everyone at some point, drugs or no drugs. It can strike at the highest position straight to the bottom dwelling lounge lizards. Not every one is a mover and shaker, cheerleader, or wheel turner. If you are one of these people, you are motivated, obviously, but at some point, all types will find themselves tired, ill, or just plain bored. The true difference is what we do to solve the problem.

Yada, yada, yada. The last episode of Seinfeld is this Thursday,' May 14. After that, we'll have to rely on reruns to get our dose of nothing. Why is the show that gave us so many memorable episodes calling it quits? The cast just felt like it was time to stop. When Jerry Seinfeld announced his decision to the world, we all just wandered around, wondering if such a thing could be true. Seinfeld has become such a part of everyone's life, that we don't know what to do now. What will millions of office workers talk about as they gather around the water cooler on Friday mornings. When lines like "Master of my domain" and "Hello Newman!' used to make us laugh hysterically , they will now make us cry like lit tle babies. Why did this show touch so many hearts and tickle so many funny bones? After all, it wasn't about anything. It was funny in a way that no other show dared to be. It asked questions that many of us thought, but did not ask. It taught us that maybe something good can come from nothing. So, what's next for the Seinfeld crew? No one really knows but them. Jerry has said he will go back on the road as a stand-u- p comic. Are there spin-of- f series in the works for the rest of the crew? doubt it. Jerry Seinfeld is a smart man. Not only does he know when he has a good thing going, he knows when to say stop. wish that other TV shows would have decided to quit while they were still going strong. Well, friends and neighbors, hope you all will join me in saying goodbye to the loveable cast of the Seinfeld show this Thursday. It should be a great one. And as Elaine would say, yada, yada, yada.
