An exercise in futility?

There has to be a business lesson in this photo.


Something about banging your ahead against the wall? This determined woodpecker seems to be working on it's own condo entrance against all logic.

It will still be too small inside. Particle board is much harder than a rotten tree trunk and has no nutritional value at all. With no insects to reward the head-pounding effort. Some days at the office seem just like this.

If you find yourself in this situation, I suggest it's time to get your head up from the task at hand and ask yourself if there is a better way.

What is the goal here?
Surely there is no entertainment value or other justification.

Stress relief? Maybe, but even that has its limits.
