Extraordinarily ordinary

On this Monday before Thanksgiving of 2009, I Am:

• Finally able to concentrate,
• Since I came to work in Panera Bread,
• Drowning out big band jazz,
• By listening to music from Feel. Love. Thinking. Of. by The Faunts, and similar sounds,
• Grateful for headphones,
• Watching the employee whose job it is to change the burned out lightbulbs,
• Feeling fairly confident he's not going to turn this big orange ladder over on top of me,
• Drinking too much coffee,
• Designing possible background graphics for a website,
• Eating raw almonds,
• Dressed like a lumberjack,
• Holding my head up and looking people in the eye with a smile, in spite of that terrifying and shameful reality,
• Becoming accustomed to rainy weather,
• Discovering how much of a difference a single replaced lightbulb can make,
• Deciding that my little break is over,
• And getting back to work...

If you really watch someone change a lot of light bulbs in a retail establishment, you will soon find that that is a hyooge job!
