Just one of those days...

I have one of those jobs that had one of those days. The stone wall has fallen, my head jerks, eyes squint, the air is musky and stale, and my head is throbbing. I cant ride fast enough ....


...he says, "you look mean and angry", I didn't know how "exhausted looked". With a halfway smiled and a look of surprise, I tried to care. I checked out hours ago, buried myself in papers hoping the friendly greeting was all I would have to submit to this tango....

...he tells me that he sent his friend a link of a conversation we had the day before...I still don't care.... but then he mentions an author ...

Just as if someone had stepped on a dried piece wood, "CRACK", startled, I'm back! Edward Abbey! Desert Solitaire! Brutal Honesty! Quickly I wiki Edward, read aloud and a peaceful wave rushes over me, subconsciously I smile.

...he says, "look, your smiling!"

Note to self...get an Edward Abbey book on the shelf...it really is the simple things in life...
