That’s the best way to describe what’s going on in my general karmic vicinity right now. I’d write more – as there’s more to write about – but I just came off working two shifts, and I’m dog tired. Two shifts – that’s working, and then working some more. As an engineer, that means that I do some boring shit in Pasadena, and then I drive 30 miles to do more boring shit in El Segundo. Only that second half is even worse, because I’m completely alone and can’t even make any coffee.
During a stronger moment, I’d be likely to say that the work I do isn’t really as bad as I make it sound. But let’s face it, I’m an engineer, and as a species we have a very strong historical love-hate relationship with our entire existence. What the hell am I doing? I need to get a real job; I mean, come on. I should be a writer, or a photographer, or a delicatessen worker, or something.
For now, though, it’s back to work. I’m going to prepare a lesson plan, go to the office, do more work, return home, and pass out.
