*Sigh*
Just another day at the office really. I spend all day like a machine - processing orders and handing out money... they have a machine that can do my job you know, it's just cheaper to have me than it is to have that machine. Damn Machinery, sometimes i wonder if there are any humans left out there?
A customer walked into the branch today with some money to be deposited. She walked right up to me and handed me her card. As i began to process her request she handed me the money - $35,000 in cold hard cash. The funny thing was that as i was counting it, the notes were actually cold and crisp. I wondered how she had come across so much money, and why she felt so secure carrying it around in her bag? It's not an ordinary individual who so casually thrusts more than a large handful of hundred dollar bills at you throughout the course of a day, even if you do work in a bank.
It was a pretty good day despite my sudden realisation of the futility of my job and the expendability of my future at the bank. I still got to walk home in the summer drizzle and play with my dog the way i always do. I went and visited a friend at work and kept him company. I mused over the various facets of my life and realised that yes, for the very first time in many a year, i could look at myself and my life and admit truthfully to myself that i am HAPPY.
Contentedness is a wonderful thing - evaluate your life from an objective view point sometime. You'll see it's not so bad...
This piece was inspired by a lot of the pettiness and bickering that i have witnessed both here on Bluelight, and in my personal life. When is everyone going to see that what concerns you now is minor and not worth the stress? Life is a beautiful thing and every minute you spend angry is 60 seconds of happiness wasted.
Think about it people - and SMILE because the world is a wonderful place if you want it to be. Even a flower can grow through the cracks in a cement footpath.
