Clock Substitutes

My account manager’s eye is healing very well. I am kind of sad. He got jumped two weekends ago and arrived to work last Monday with scrapes, cuts, and a glorious black, purple, green and yellowish eye. After the shock of it, it was fun to keep him informed of the most recent state. It’s oozing a little. The swelling looks like it’s gone down. Wow, its really changed colors, a lot less purple today. Now, there is no purple left. Not as much to talk about. In the working world I have come to accept the processes, as ways to mark the time, to ease the monotony of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
