DAILY REFLECTION

It's noon on Sunday and I'm indifferently anticipating the odd hours I'm scheduled to work tonight. From 6pm Sunday to 6am Monday I will be a part of a six person team assembled to rearrange a large portion of the art material store where I'm employed. Although the job will be tedious, we'll obviously be working  while the store is closed so we'll have some liberties on our side; i.e: Hopefully I'll be able to listen to my mp3 player, for which I'm constructing a handful of time-destroying playlists! Overall, This should be an interesting change of pace. A pathetic change of pace, perhaps, but I've been taking my spices of life in small and modest doses.
My typical week is made up of days that almost mirror each other. With the exception of working either the morning shift or the evening shift, it's often a "same sh!t different day" kind of world when I'm working 9-5. Sure, the world around me pokes back in different ways at almost every turn: I'll run into a friend at a random place and time, or a car almost runs me over at a random place and time. So really the week days are more accurately a series of funhouse mirrors; each one adding a bit more distortion to the last, or one mirror might even cancel out some distortion from the previous one. Who knows?!
So I'll take my tedious shift and be utterly exhausted and delirious by Monday morning, and try to master the whole thing with a smile on my face. After all, the funhouse mirror is the cheapest and safest thrill in the amusement park. I think I'm tall enough to ride the roller coaster though...
