Well, the holidays are over and now it's time to get back to work. The grand days of Christmas vacation with the 9 a.m. wake-up bell has been replaced by the annoying alarm clock from somewhere in Dante's Inferno which speaks forth with a Stygian song: Aaanh-Aaanh-Aaanh-It's 5:50 a.m.-Aaanh-Aaanh-Aaanh-Goodbye to your rest-Aaanh-Aaanh-Aaanh! And so I enter the ever-descending depths of the American workplace and my routine...
As with every good story we have an angel to offset the evil. She comes to me with caffeine in hand and a bite to eat, enough to get me on my course for the day and a small token of the love she holds for me. Despite this, I am already on course for yet another day in the bowels of the beast, hardly thanking my angel for the effort she has taken, and contemplating just what fresh Abyss I will encounter this day. Regardless of my thanklessness/contemplation, she will arise in the morning and bring to me a hot cup and a warm meal. For 12 years now we have repeated this daily routine and may it continue for many more. Well, all except the part about the alarm clock.....may it fall into the Abyss!
I owe, I owe, so off to work I go....
