days off

Having days off like today give me great insight. I know the truth. My future is on the beach. Debt-less. Bill-less. Sipping coctails, reading books, and writing. That is the life.

Some might think that sporting aspirations to be a beach bum makes one weak-minded or stupid. Such is most definitely not the case. The life I aspire to shows honesty which most people are not willing to admit.

Geeky guys

Geeky guys. They read comic books, watch Star Wars. They get science. Computers come easy to them. In my experience, they know good music. They're incredibly smart. They tell funny jokes. Geeky guys are cool.

15,000 germs

According to my father, when a person with a cold coughs into the air, 15,000 germs hit the air, flying around until they find weakless hosts to grab onto. Today, I am one of those people with the millions of germs just lining up to be forced out of my throat by the wicked wind. At work, my short, Asian co-worker also had a cough and shared a ricola with me to aid in the healing process.

The cough season is the worst of all seasons. Not only is it too cold outside for any of us normal people to enjoy, but it is also a time of raspy voices and bad hair days.

It's half past six. Maybe if I go to bed by seven, I'll fight these germs to their death.

nuts and bolts

I grew up in the Bunn family. Bunn men own tools. My father owned a lot of tools. His garage is still a sea of various power drills and mini screwdrivers. But I was always the little princess. Tools never interested me. The only tools I have ever owned were a few hammers I bought to hang things on my wall. And there were the nails. Other than that tools are just foreign objects.

Until now.

Now I have a job. It's a job that requires power tools.

Now power tools don't really fit with Rece or what she stands for. In fact, Rece is very much against the type of work that requires such use of the hands. And yet, Rece is working at the factory. She's gotta get money to pay off those college loans somehow.

small parts

I have a job. The job isn't something grand or mind-blowing. In fact, the job doesn't require much mind use at all. I put parts together. That's it. I spend ten hours a day putting parts together. Great, right? Soon, I'll find a job that really uses my mind. Well, maybe not in this rural area but soon, I'll move to a cool place and do what I want.

day in, day out

Finding a job is a merciless process. Whoever thought finding a job would be easy must have had a family member or family friend GIVE him or her the job. When living in a rural area where your family members are regular ol' blokes, a person might have many difficulties finding a job.

But as I believe I am an incredible candidate for any job out there, I am going to hope for the best. Perhaps a fantastic job is coming as soon as I vacate the phone line.
