dead meat

When I first was confronted with the term "dead meat" I had a good laugh about as for it was in a funny context and used as a joke. This time I use it a bit more serious and honestly the situation I’m refering to nearly shocked me a bit today.

Being in a meeting today I was mostly talking with a guy, I since years respect as a very experienced. Now today I was very suprised seeing and hearing him talking mostly negative. For my feelings not even really being interested.

Later on we talked about and he told me that he is feeling burned out. No longer being interested in new stuff and happy about going on as ususal not having the feeling or need to change anything.

Sorry, but this does shock me! How can something happens like that? I’m sure, perhaps should say i hope, that this is just a temporary things and I soon will be able to talk with the old buddy I know and honor since years … Just who knows?!

But now mostly talking to my friends! If anytime in future I should turn out like that. No longer being interested in techniques, knowledge, new things or general unhappy to learn - without being forced by sickness or perhaps turning insane suddenly - feel free to shoot me ….. "dead meat" is the last I would like to turn out finally.

    I know very well the feeling of being “burned out”. For me, it comes from technology changing very rapidly and not being able to keep up, usually because of lack of training funds and/or time…
