i really feel like writing, but i don’t know i fi have the time to cover things that i want to. i know i won’t be able to write tonight, and yet i only have like 3 minutes before all the machines here start dinging which is their code for “refill me!”. i have to say that this job has been treating me well. i get alot of time to space out because everyone is so busy that focusing on anything but the task at hand is too much. start to wander too much and you’ll make a mistake that won’t be noticed for a couple of weeks.

but i know it probably won’t last. i need to start building a nest egg because anything could happen. some company could withdraw their order and suddenly, we’re out of money, and the expendibles are the first to go. it’s not that i feel expendible here, but i know that if things slow down, i won’t be needed. so i’ll go off to help some other corporation that’s in its “booming phase” where they need labor to reach financial goals. just keep bouncing around until i can do the thinking parts of the job, where i won’t be as expendible anymore. i figure i’ll be brewing before it becomes an issue though.

it’s been raining for the past 2 weeks here, and it’s glorious. fall is in full swing and everyday i ride to work, i need to dress up like i’m going snowboarding to keep dry. it’s nice to be out in the rain again though, and the cold weather, and the early dark. the seasons around here go like clockwork and even though one blends into the next almost imperceptibly, one day you notice, and it’s kind of nice. it’ll get old in a couple of months, and then it’ll change again. i don’t know if i’ll be able to move out of the northwest, i’ve spent a lifetime acclimating to and loving the climate here.

i just finished loading all the machines, so now i get to go out and go for a jaunty little ride in the rain. i always look forward to riding my bike though.
