Parallel Universe

9 AM The strangest feeling… I am back to work after taking Monday off, and I call Kevin on some missing info. He says, great to have you back. And for a minute, a looong minute that is still lingering, I think to myself, its good to be back. I am the queen of this non-sense. This cubicle and inbox is my kingdom. I excel in this small known territory of uninteresting information, and i get paid good money to sit on my swivel-chair throne. I am going to miss this feeling of being good at what I do, of working well with crazy sales rep man, of getting a nice fat paycheck (to me its fat, I realize in the grand American dream scheme its not), and as I am re-scanning the GBA, I think to myself maybe I can extend my leave date. I quickly shake my head (in muted terror), hoping to shake the feeling. Must trust in God to provide the money I will need, must make clean break with this boyfriend blue cross, for his sake and for mine. No more lingering, no more teasing. I must leave now.
....

2 AM
Any strings of fuzzy feelings have been thoroughly cleaned out.
Get me out of this cubicle!
