vaudevillian dreams
daydream and waste time.
i just completed my hourly stretch arms, crack back and sigh routine at my desk and glanced behind me out the window (yes, my desk faces the wall. aren't you jealous). i actually made it past my own reflection (this may surprise some of you. usually the reflective stares are in contempt or just ensuring that i'm still a real person. oh look. there i am in the window. i am alive today).
anyway, i focused in the building next to mine, usually bustling with other workers droning away at their desks. on any other day i would liken it to a zoo - only the animals are people and the cages are offices. it also makes me sad that i am yet another boring and slothful creature this side of the glass. but those thoughts didn't pass today. why?
THAT BUILDING IS EMPTY.
i think offices that remain open the week between christmas and new year play a cruel joke on their employees. this is the most unproductive week of the year for people like myself who want to focus all energies on the food and drink. if given the time to do so, i could potentially come back reenergized and ready for the new year (although most of you know this wouldn't be the case).
why can't i be at home drinking, eating and sharpening my motor skills with juggling practice?
on an absolutely unrelated note: church fight. thanks, a.o.d.
