Labor Day

Fornicaton, demon rum and cigarettes. Heavy petting, dirty thoughts and disregard for my fellow man. I was warned about many things during the course of my mercurial childhood, but never once in the litany of proscriptions was there a cautionary tale about taking the wrong job.

I didn't intend to stay at the law firm for more than a few months. It was only a foothold on a seemingly predictable climb to comfortable adulthood. My soon-to-be husband was on board - just short stint as a file clerk and then I'd be at back at home - ensconced in an esoteric office that cleverly reflected my creativity and skill. The future looked open- ended.

It's usually hard to tell at first when life is changing direction. No groans emerge from some works below to give you a heads up that no longer are you headed where you are going. Every day goes on with rhythms seemingly familiar. Putting one foot in front of the other is simple enough. The sticky part is paying attention to where your feet are apt to go.

The mistake I made at the first job I ever had? Going back. I should have run away very fast. I still work there now.
