yesterday, the plant lady told me that i should really take the dead leaves off my plant. so, like a monkey picking lice off her baby, i started peering through the plant, pulling off anything that wasn't green. and i actually liked it. it was the most relaxing thing i've done since i became too poor to afford yoga. of course, 5 minutes later, my boss came by and told me to get down because, apparently, standing on your chair in the office is a safety hazard. and 10 minutes after that, my phone rang and i almost broke my neck falling off the chair trying to answer it, but for a blissful 15 minutes that day, i was peaceful. i was zen. i didn't feel like lighting anyone's desk on fire. it was a good break.
i discovered today why cubicle walls are padded. it's so when we
denizens of the cubes go crazy and start banging our heads on the
walls, we don't hurt ourselves.
