6/20/2024

I’m sick of my job. I’ve had the same job for nearly 30 years, and while I still enjoy it sometimes, it’s not as much fun as it used to be, nor is it likely to get better. In saying that, I’m not asking for the Powers That Be to bring about any changes in my life; I’m grateful for what I have and perfectly fine being bored at work as I collect my easy paychecks. I am starting to think about how I might change things for myself, though. If I were to leave my job, how else might I earn a living?
I was having a tough time finding a book to suit my mood, so I picked up a favorite that I hadn’t read in years: Watchers by Dean R. Koontz. My copy is an old paperback that’s sadly splitting up the spine as I reread it. I’m technically not supposed to buy books right now, but I ordered a used hardcover copy to replace it. (There are some things I must have in life, among them readable copies of all my favorite books.) Meanwhile, I am enjoying the book so far, though it bugged me, as it always does, when one of the main characters fed chocolate to his dog. Chocolate is toxic to dogs. I wonder how many letters the author received about that. Probably more than a few.
I’ve been very stressed out lately, but I expect to be done with most of the stressiest stuff over the next week or so. Then it’ll be smooth sailing for a while, I hope.
