Aug. 6th, 2002 11:02 amMy heart is in my throat. Work is either boring or incredibly adrenalinated and stressful (or possibly both at once). I'm looking forward to vacation at the end of the month, even though I just got back from Amsterdam. Is it really any better anywhere else? I'm not convinced. But still...
Goddamn computers. I will be teaching my little class a few more times before the gig is up. It would be cool if they sent me to Sydney, but it's a long shot. Meanwhile, everything else is awful. Maybe I'll go be an auto mechanic.
If I were to leave, what would I leave for? There's nothing behind all this but a vague and pressing desire to get out of this freaking cubicle.

It's not as bad as this sounds. It's only bad when I'm here. I've gained the ability to completely forget everything about work as soon as I leave; this is a big improvement.

The only question remains: How do we infiltrate with enough barbed wire to fence off a couple of acres?

And why are you thinking in terms of acres, anyway? Ever been to, say, the Northwest Territories? There's nothing there... you should be thinking in terms of thousands of square kilometers. (Especially because it's friggin' cold, so crops won't grow very well, so it's roots and berries time.)

I just need a space to live, I don't want to spend the entire summer mowing the lawn. Oh, and an unmetered internet access.
