i left work early today. i even skipped out on the double-themed party for someone who's leaving and someone who's pregnant. they've moved me into a smaller room with a slower computer to make room for the new guy. who's actually not an intern. i spend my days working for a "NONPROFIT" translating "FORMS" having to do with ""VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION" and having meetings with "CLIENTS" to help them find "JOBS". now isn't that a mouthful! "WHEW!"

i really have to find some alternative to this whole working for the rest of your life thing though. i think that whole gig could really bring me down.

sometimes i enjoy all this. i've been stockpiling as many office supplies as possible from the collective drawer, walking down the street to eat in one of kansas city's oldest diners where they call me 'hun' and where there's no smoking section. i like smoking somewhere where there's no smoking section or ashtrays. sometimes on the way to this restaurant i even get to see a plastic sack being swept around by the wind.

in the evening i usually try to watch as much television as possible. sometimes i even read books, or think about grammar. the other day i found out that someone declared the narrative "an imaginary resolution to real contradictions". isn't that INTERESTING.

the heat lately has been enough to make armymen rape. today it rained though, cooled down, and i smoked out the window for to heat the outside.
