the last day of 2003
I awoke to the most beautiful sunrise. The clouds had an intense beauty, orange, blue, red and a twinge of pink.. it would the last beautiful thing I saw all day.
The rest of the day turned into a disaster. Work was the pits. I worked my ass off. All the rush to get investigations cleared up. All of the sudden need to end everything to make the next year start fresh. I ended up with 32 fresh investigations, with everyone else like 9.. and this is no exageration. Then my boss tells me in her frustration that her boss.. the one I've been having problems with made a comment that none of us really do much of anything.. that hit me hard.
So I thought to myself.. resign. get out of this shit. Then lunch came.. we had ordered chinese... food sucked.. and my fortune cookie.. "Don't give up, the best is yet to come" i took that to heart and got thru the rest of the day. but i was pretty much zoned out. i stopped off to get something to eat.. that was a strange affair.. i passed throught the theatre district, where all the rich people were off to see a show at the cadillac theatre.. and made my way to a taco bell / kfc where the rest of us were.. a big difference in economic position .. which .. as i digress a very real depicition of the class segregation this city so well shows.. anyway.. after getting a cheap meal i headed off to the train and made my way to pay rent. the CTA's giving free rides tonight and it was fun to watch everyone try to put money in the fare box only to be told by the bus operator that they didnt need to. They didn't understand why it was free and thought big of themselves for getting a free ride.. funny.. got home around 8:30 and pretty much crashed.. again zoned. i wonder if i went thru a nervous breakdown today.. who knows.
happy new year
