As a journalist, I can't help but worry about some of my colleagues – the critics.
Their careers are based on being critical, but I wonder if their job duties might be hazardous to their well-being. Rarely do I read reviews, but the headlines alone are enough for me to know that critics don't like much of anything. Nothing is ever good enough.
