There’s something to be said for being a low level hack at a job. All you really need to do is be on time and do what you’re told. Truth be told there’s a certain kind of peace to a job like that.

And by peace I mean no stress.

Mom, at the peek of her worst days, would email me the temp secretary positions out of the online help wanted ads and ask me if I thought they would mind her doing her nails while she answered the phone.

I kept telling her she’d lose her mind to boredom in a week. But maybe now I’m starting to see the lure of just showing up.

Now I’m off to figure out how to make this thing look pretty. Wish me luck.
