midas is king

oh gosh. how did we get here? we are one day shy of the seventh month of the year being over.
five years ago.

there is a contract sitting on my desk. the booklet it comes in is blue and yellow. they know their complimentary colours. i have a salary, vacation days, benefits and two welcome letters from various CEOs and presidents of divisions among other HR things. the thing is i don't need to be welcomed; i was welcomed three months ago. stopping doesn't seem like an option right now. it seems like i am being hurled toward something by the universe and it will break my neck before letting me stop.

i look forward to three day weekends.
i no longer have to view my time or schedule my life according to what schools tells me i can do.
i miss that stability.

jesus christ, i need to get in a grad program.
