jmcgready’s misc universe

today was a study in frustration.

overslept but was able to cut lateness down to <10 min.
by taking a cab from Frankford Terminal to work -
pricey but necessary.

didn’t eat breakfast but got a quart of green smoothie to drink @ 1PM.

wall of customers until almost 3PM,
quick (0.5 hr) lunch and then back at it.

BTW, still trying to shake the last of this flu,
most of it in my chest and throat, which is aggravated
by having to talk so much.

did I mention that a new guy is being trained,
and is thus asking questions?

and that returning student workers are asking questions?

and that customers are asking questions with 5 followup
questions that are only slightly reworded versions of the
original question, whose answer they didn’t like and/or understand?

it is in this milieu that I remember Sunday’s message in James
about trouble’s use as a building tool in our lives and
that we should consider it joy when we go through stuff like this.

mentally… agree
but existentially? fuhgeddaboudit…

hooray for conscious incompetence!

Now I’m home writing this…
