So currently, I'm sitting at my desk, listening to Mott the Hoople, working on some website content and thinking about the jobs I've applied for so far. It's a strange group of seemingly writing-oriented jobs, but who knows? Kind of like when you post a job and start interviewing, it's always interesting to see what kinds of people show up. Kind of like taking the train to my office; there are always interesting people on public transit. Even the normal ones seem interesting. I like to look at them through my mirrored sunglasses and imagine what kind of person they are. There's no way I know for sure, and I don't pretend that I'm right about it, but it's fun to imagine the things they're afraid of, what they hide from everyone else.
Back to the topic of thinking about the jobs I've applied for so far, I'm consoling myself thinking about how most of my favorite writers had strange jobs initially as well. That puts me in good company, the way I see it. Besides, it gives a more real-life perspective than sitting in your apartment and just dreaming things up. Like Marx did. While I don't typically consider myself a people person, I like studying people. I find them interesting from a safe distance, which means a distance at which I can instantly disconnect myself from the relationship when I want to. I'm very particular when it comes to people I actually enjoy spending time with. At least, that seems to be true.
You know, I think that one of these days, I should use my nifty phone and post a little photo tour of my trip to the office and back home. I really enjoy the trip and I think it might be informative. Or at the very least, illustrative. And who knows, maybe I'll be good at capturing things in a different medium than my usual method. You've got to try new things. See what this blog's doing for me?
