mystery and muscle of love

I love taco time hot sauce

I read kind of slowly, but I enjoy it thoroughly
and coloured inky-wet pens are glorious

fall is by far the best season
- autumn smells like sweet fresh plants and soil, and I wear a sweater
octopus is my favourite animal, and cousin squid is cool too
- there are not enough books or articles published about them

teeth usually really creep me out.
they tend to be a sign of or a source of weakness...
creepy

turn your weakness into a strength or at least be aware of it so that you are well equipped when you are under fire.

life is designed to be a lonely experience, it is the human flaw to feel alone. Worse is the human flaw to reason and determine logically that we are alone... this is absolte crap, as there are many of humans walking around haveing the same clever thoughts you just had, and they are subtly consumed by the nagging feel ingthat they are alone. We are supposed to figure this one out, and if we are enlightened enough to figure out this weird conundrum then we will dissipate into the greater nothingness...

I wrote something else but published this more brief page..

i am on the phone with...

...a guy who sounds like he is dying. His name is Rob and he is a telephone service person for president's choice banking. His speech is slow and calm and he is very well mannered. He insists that he is ok... that's good Rob. Ok so can you help me make a balance transfer? Sure. Now I am on hold.

meanwhile... I had great customer service at Safeway this morning. That is what I like - good customer service. It is probably the key source of human to human contacts that the average North American makes these days. It is important that people respect and recognize the other person as an individual. If not I predict that the result will be a deterioration of society's ability to empathise and to value quality of life. Life will be less internalized. And that leads to people being stupid. back to the call...

Heinrich. Do you like your job? It's ok? Uncomfortable silence... THanks for choosing President's Choice Mastercard, have a nice day.... Bye.

I just finished my call and got great service. Thanks President's Choice! I feel appreciated, and not just for the money I have spent!

;)

kind of like this job

I'm sitting across from my workmate, Heather, and I was just inspired by something she said. Four months is about all that a person can handle of a dumb situation... KIND OF LIKE THIS JOB.

It is lovely and raining today. A perfectly rainy day... one in which I would choose, if I had the choice, to be lying lazily on my bed, with my feet at the head end and my head at the foot end, and I would read and doze and enjoy the perfect angle of daylight, filtering through drizzly clouds. Mmmmmm. I am going home to do that now.

I just spent 4 hours in the theatre, alone. Well, 2 visitors came in and 3 workmates stopped in. I sorted and rearranged and wrote whiteboard signs and somehow the time passed and I made money. Workday: check.

Life is rather good to me, and thanks to the sweet 8 days off from work I just had, I took time to realize this truth that I so often forget....
