Ruminations
Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2005 4:26 pm
Sometimes when I'm bored at work, I stare at my
computer screen so long that it appears as if there
were several small people staring back at me, like
my counterparts in some other world far, far away.
The realization that it's a reflection of my
co-workers standing behind me laughing tends
to diminish the romantic notion a bit, though.
(Mike Adams) a rumination
Not only do I let a smile be my umbrella,
I also have this little eyelid
spasm that works great as galoshes.
