In this economic climate, I'm focusing on the importance of gratitude for my current employment situation. Nonetheless, as it turns out, jobs pay well for a reason. Doesn't matter how spiritual or loved an Air Traffic Controller may be. Certain jobs would make even Jesus want run out of the building on the phone to his therapist. I would love to someday build the strength and self-possession of Obi Wan Kanobi to the point where when things go awry on a conference and I have to say, "That's might be out of scope," for the fiftieth time, it has the same illusory effect of, "These aren't the droids you were looking for," and everything is a green light for the rest of the project

Ever since I started working, it's been back to the same schedule of work, eat, shop, salsa, sleep. I haven't watched a movie or cracked a book in the past five weeks, and my blog has been...well, let's just say 2008 hasn't been The Year Of The Blog. It's not a healthy life. But it is an employed one.

Just for today, I can try to be grateful for my job.
