Work Occuring While Unemployed

Do you ever have those days? Those days where you just have an “I might die today” feeling, or an “everything’s going to change today” feeling? Today is one of those days for me.

First, I get up, out of bed, shower, dress and head out the door. I water my Bonsai and head to work on my lovely red banana. I’m cruising down the street (in the bike lane on the right side of the street) at my regular pace, and there, in front of me, is a red SUV with a baby on board suction sign on the back of the window. I notice the car begins slowing down, however the right turn signal is not blinking, so I think perhaps this baby-driver is just scouting for parking. Then out of NOWHERE he hooks a right, thereby forcing me to turn (it’s either right or death and I chose right), I scream “Please don’t squish me!” but he pays no attention and continues on his merry way.

Then I arrive at work, put my red banana in its proper place and go the coffee shop. I give the man a 20$ for my coffee and when I receive my change, he hands me two one dollar coins! I exclaim with excitement, for I love coins that aren’t change! Maybe I won’t die today, maybe today will be the day that everything changes! Maybe today will be the day when finally, after many years of neglect and disgust, the dollar coin will garner its rightful place in currency-dom, alongside the hundred, the twenty, the ten, the five and the one! Welcome home dear coin, welcome home!
