I'm At Work
It's December 24th and I'm at work. Even worse, I'm the crisis person on call, so I can't leave my desk to go for a nice little stroll in the crisp winter air.
It's sunny out. I'm sitting here under the fluorescent lights feeling like the damned as I see people outside carrying gifts and laughing with family and friends. They're on their way to turkey dinner, and I'm at work with about five other disgruntled workers who have to be here.
The good news is, my husband is making dinner because he gets today off. Crab, sourdough, asparagus, and some sweet potatoes that need cooking before they go bad. Tiny cheesecake from the corner store for dessert. And then, we exchange gifts.
It's amazing how my instinct to just make a run for it out the window gets stronger as the day wears on. Why didn't I study graphic design instead?
