I want a bicycle. An old-fashioned bicycle with wide handlebars (not those silly curled up ones) and a basket with flowers on it. Oooh! And a bell. It would be nice if it were purple.
Know what else I want? My own office so that I can shut myself in at lunch and avoid everyone else. I've been lazy and have been going home for lunch for a week or so. But this week I've been good and I've brought my lunch. On Monday I was eating in the break room and someone came in at 12:30...I was reading my book quietly and enjoying my solitude. This person sat down, started to eat and a few minutes later said somewhat irritably, "Are you going to be here until 1? Because if you are I'll have to go somewhere else. I can't stand the silence and if you're going to read, it has to be quiet and I really need some distraction. I've had a hell of a day." I didn't want an argument so I just got up and left (I was there first, damnit!) I took a short lunch and went home early. The same person came in yesterday as I was reading...I left again. So today, I'm going to go home for lunch and I wish I had a bicycle to get me there quickly without consuming any gas.
The end.
