Another Day in Paradise
Went to work an hour and a half early today. Why so early? Three reasons:
1. I get to work early enough that hardly anyone else is there. Not that I dislike my coworkers --- they're great people --- but sometimes a man wants to talk to himself and listen to Faster Pusssycat in private.
2. I've got shit to do. I start by reloading my truck because the guy the delivery company pays to load my truck is illiterate, plus the usual stuff: paperwork, DOT compliance, the day job, vacation, drinking, smoking, threesome with Japanese twins ... Anyhow, like they say: you've got to get it started if you want to get it done.
3. You'd be amazed at the stuff flying through your head at 0645. There's a whole free association/stream of consciousness thing going on (it's really quite Faulkner). When you're in the thinking business, that's valuable.
I'm not sure how the three reasons stack up relative to each other; I suppose it depends on what day it is.
