White Noise is at it again

This time defining my existence:

I would appreciate it if they would call a halt on all their devoted efforts to find a way to abolish war or eliminate disease or run trains with atoms or extend the span of human life to a couple of centuries, and everybody concentrate for a while on how to wake me up in the morning without my resenting it... -- Archie Goodwin

From Before Midnight by one Rex Stout.

For those who know me, I shudder for you.
