Serenity.

Four days into my job, four days into this new venture in Peachland. Work is everything I remember it being, monotonous, repetitive, systematic. I turn myself onto auto pilot and I just stand there on my ladder and think... all day. Most of the time, not plumbing related.

I get onto tangents, sometimes they're bad tangents. Something will be stuck in my head all day, something I should have done, something I should have said, something I should say, something that was said to me, whatever it is I'll sit there, and analize it, ALL DAY! I just sit there worrying ALL DAY! On these day I hate work, because it just seems to drag. My "plumbers auto-pilot," will get some glitches and start making mistakes, and getting frustrated because I can't thread a nut onto the end of a bolt, in an awkward position...

Today was NOT one of those days. Today, I switched on the auto pilot, and continuously blew smoke up my own ass all day. No kidding! I just sat there all day thinking about how awesome I am! The sun was shining, the wind was blowing the constant lingering smell of decaying feces, away from the wastewater treatment plant I work in, I had a full day of work ahead of me, and I was blowing some serious smoke up my ass.

I'm not still blowing smoke up my ass. I switch off the auto-pilot when I leave work. As soon as I leave work, reality sets in, and I can't daydream anymore. I will say one thing though, now I feel really peaceful. I feel content. Spring is coming in hard...
