A Day In The Life - Part 1 -

I sit down on the black swivel chair and grimace as my back twinged with crunching aplomb due to another night sleeping on the soft bed which leads me to believe it would not fair well in a fight with other beds. The hazy sunshine of another summer day cascades in through the window casting a light shadow against the floor. For a minute i want to be a cat and lie in that puddle of light and soak up the warmth. Ah to be a cat. I lie back and ponder the day ahead, I have been unwittingly voted unanimously by my boss to head into Chinatown to distribute leaflets promoting the company which I detest as I did the same 'Marketing breakthrough' Exercise a day ago and the only people willing to come near me were those thinking I would make a great representation for their summer holiday albums as proof they went to there and that it was such an amazing cultural experiance. If they were rolling a video with sound, you would have picked up a possible descendent of the great emperor shouting out with great vivacity that with every order of a can of coke you would get a free croissant. I thought that a strange combo too, oh how the Hebrew woman who created the pastry in the time of Jeremiah must be turning doughy in their graves over such a use of their crescent shape offerings. Back to reality with the shrill of a phonecall. Ive been here for 6 months now, learning my trade by doing everything available and liking the experience but the idea of a proper career still lingers in my mind. I can't help but wonder if this was what I thought I would be doing when I was still carefree and in school. Ah to be a cat....or a dog with his head out of a window of a moving car....ah to be something else.
