Deep Thoughts by an Administrative Professional

General State of Being:
I'm feeling very small today. Oh wait...I am small...in the scheme of the infinite universe, I mean. At lunch today I concluded that instead of doing real work, I'd much rather sit around and argue with myself as to whether I really am small or if my ability to effect change (good or bad) on innumerable events, lives, choices, etc., means that I am, indeed, not small.

Today's High:
Friday's are kind of like New Years Eve...only they come 52 times a year. Come 4pm on a Friday, all I can do is smile and pace around the office in anticipation and expecation of all the events, dramas, and triumphs that will start at 5:00 and unfold throughout the course of the weekend. It's a lot like New Years, I tell you! There are immeasurable resolutions to be made, adventures to be had, and trouble to be found. Granted, Friday's "fun-potential" doesn't always last through the entire weekend, but there's just something absolutely magical about the 4:00-5:00 hour on a Friday afternoon. Life has so much...potential.

Today's Low:
Cups of coffee: 1
Paper Cuts: 2
Times I said to myself "I wish I was taking a nap right now:" 17

Insignificant Fact(s):
Can you have a favorite sidewalk? I took the long way to work this morning and was reminded of my favorite stretch of cold hard cement. It's not my favorite because of what surrounds the sidewalk-I actually do like the sidewalk itself. Along 20th Street in Oakland between Longs Drug and the Kinkos, there's a patch of sidewalk that must have been made with me in mind. When the sun is shining on it, something in the hardened blacktop glitters like diamonds in Vegas. You can't help but feel famous and imporant when you walk on it. And you certainly can't help but smile.
...What was that I said about being small?
