funny how things work out

When I was 8 or 9, I went to a nieghborhood kids' house and his whole family was over, including his cousin. We were playing a baseball-like game. His folks didn't like me too much. One of the "adults" came over with a catcher's mitt and asked us all what we wanted to be when we grew up. The both said baseball players, I said I wanted to be a scientist. He started playing catch with them. After a bout 30 seconds of tossing the ball back and forth and ignoring me, he turned and said "You're going to be a scientist, right?" I got the hint and went home.

I thought about that yesterday on the way my anatomy class.......I'm going to be a scientist, are they ballplayers yet? It's funny how things work out, right?

hateful employment

I don't make enough money. This is why I went back to school and work a part-time job on top of my full-time day job. Everything seems to be getting worse at the part-timer. It started out as a great deal. I had decent pay, good working conditions, and generally enjoyed what I was doing. Due to certain circumstances that will remain unnamed at present. The hours are worse, the pay is worse, and the general enjoyment has gone down the toilet. The best part is that they are putting greater expectations on people for less pay. Not to mention the fact that I now have people going and reporting everything that happens to the owner, usually exaggerated and out of context, so I'll probably be doing something new real soon.

unusual weather

I like days like today, not hot and not cool.
Today feels like Spring weather I think Heaven should feel like, and I want to be in a park or on a green meadow with the one I love most. We could stare at each other while Sun warmed our faces. We could hold hands and laugh love with the sound of wind and children's laughter in the air.
Later that night we could cookout. Have some chicken and steaks on a charcoal fire while the kids chase fireflies. We'd be so happy and I'd want everyday to feel like today.

But I'm spending my day in an ass-smelling nasty garage and daydreaming between hateful customers.
