I woke up one day a few months ago wondering why I dreaded work so much. Could there be an easier job? I check people in, I check people out and eventually some people aren't happy and I try and fix that. I realized, Hey, I used to do this when I was five. I used to play house, Barbies and McDonalds with my fake little hamburgers and bread french fries that Sam and Courtney loved so much. Man, I was so ready to play grown up. I was even excited.
Its not even that I knew much at five but I seemed to know how to find the fun and life in things that the older and wiser people didn't seem to see. Its just that way with kids I guess. Its almost like they dont even know how to be bitter. Every day is a possibility of something amazing. Today is the best day of their lives.
I think today I'll see work as a game of house. Cause thats all work really is, a game for grown ups, mistaken for the meaning of life.
Today can be the best day of my life...maybe even at work.
It's your life, are you who you want to be?
ReplyDeleteIt's my life. It's now or never. I aint gonna live forever. I just wanna live while I'm alive. It's. My. Life.
ReplyDeletemmmmmmm bread french fries with a sprinkle of cinamon sugar, i remember how me and courtney watched as you squished our bread into little fries and then put them in the fake fry holder and put a pinch of cinamon...you concentrated so hard and we would eat them in two seconds and then guilt you into making us more
