Hobo Dreams

Yesterday was one of those days that reminds you why movies like Office Space and shows like The Office are so popular: working stinks-it stinks real bad. What it really comes down to, is that work has you by the short hairs because it affords you the things you enjoy having in your life like stable income, a comfortable home, clothing, food in your cabinets, and the many frivolous things we also enjoy. Therefore, you have to go to work everyday and endure being treated like a sub-human by people you consider to be sub-human, and do so all with a willing and pleasant attitude, so that at the end of the day you can drive your fuel-efficient economy class car to your cookie-cutter house in your covenant-restricted neighborhood, pop open a cold one, sink into a leather chair you are making interest free payments on (for a year, at least) and think, "Man, this is the life."

Kind of makes you rethink panhandling, doesn't it?

I have felt like that quite often. Now in ATL, I actually have a job I love (where I can be creative, seriously?) But we do live in the cookie cutter condo with the covenant nazi (condo assn president) living above us...and dream of a time I can live in a place where I don't have to ask permission to paint/decorate. But that's years down the road. Just imagine the insanity when all your loans catch up with you...
