Extraordinarily ordinary
Monday, 23 November, 2009 at 3:57 PM On this Monday before Thanksgiving of 2009, I Am:
- Finally able to concentrate,
- Since I came to work in Panera Bread,
- Drowning out big band jazz,
- By listening to music from Feel. Love. Thinking. Of. by The Faunts, and similar sounds,
- Grateful for headphones,
- Watching the employee whose job it is to change the burned out lightbulbs,
- Feeling fairly confident he's not going to turn this big orange ladder over on top of me,
- Drinking too much coffee,
- Designing possible background graphics for a website,
- Eating raw almonds,
- Dressed like a lumberjack,
- Holding my head up and looking people in the eye with a smile, in spite of that terrifying and shameful reality,
- Becoming accustomed to rainy weather,
- Discovering how much of a difference a single replaced lightbulb can make,
- Deciding that my little break is over,
- And getting back to work...
