On Being Boiled Alive

I’m trying to be sensible, but going to work after being told I am going to be laid off is weird. They want me to be committed, but how can you commit when you can’t trust your employer any longer? For another thing, I feel rejected, vulnerable and powerless. I’m being dumped. I want to get angry, but I can’t because I’m suddenly walking on thin ice. I want to grieve, but I can’t do that either. I have to go to work tomorrow; I’ll go to work until they tell me not to come in again.

Are you being given impossible jobs with no chance of success? This one is underhanded, which is why it’s so popular. The company may need a big reason to give you the boot, especially if you’ve done everything right and are the life and soul of your department. Enter the impossible task. “Ahh Wilkins, we need you to expand our new line of warm, alcohol-free beers to construction workers.”

Biaaah!

Biaaah!

How do children learn how to make elephant sounds? I can understand a moo-moo here and an oink-oink there, but an elephant? It must be something babies are born with, because every infant I’ve met knows how to **BiaAAH!**

A baby’s cry is appropriately disturbing: ear-piercing enough to get the caregiver’s attention… but not so disturbing as to make the listener want to avoid the sound altogether.

Vampire. It doesn’t mean forever.

Vampire. It doesn’t mean forever.

Do you feel like trying something dangerous “until it scares me?” Whether it’s roller coasters, mountain climbing or walking alone at night, we believe we can debark, return from the path we have taken and turn the key to our homes, safe and magically invulnerable. We think “It won’t happen to me.”

It is no more common for vampires to be psychopaths or killers than it is for any random person on the street. However, a prolonged, or very involved, relationship with a vampire can put a severe strain on the emotional and psychic energy systems of an ordinary person.

Motivation

Motivation

I hate Monday mornings. The alarm clock is unmerciful in its exactness. Oh, what would I do if every morning were Monday, and patience a sin.

There is a time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go.
Quotation from Tennessee Williams

Costa Rica, Part Two: Kiss It Goodbye

Costa Rica, Part Two: Kiss It Goodbye

I’m ok with flying. It’s the “unscheduled landings” that make me nervous. My attitude is don’t worry too much about what could happen, because most of the time there isn’t anything you can do but pray and try to survive.

I had this dream that I was on
An airplane afraid to fly
So I tipped my head to the side and I
Whispered to this man that was in the aisle.
I said, “Do you know how long it takes before we Die?”
Lyrics from A Rocket To The Moon, Fear Of Flying

A lot of people in San Francisco tonight are going to be tied up, and thousands over the next month or so, and very few of them are going to end up in the emergency room or dead.
Quotation from “Sparky” in SFWeekly.com

Never let someone tie you up in your home on the first date.
Quotation from “Master J” in SFWeekly.com

Oh, fear not in a world like this,
And thou shalt know erelong,
Know how sublime a thing it is
To suffer and be strong.
Poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Light of Stars in Knickerbocker
