clockwatcher.
there are ads in the subways for that whatever universe baseball challenge that appears to include only mexico, the DR, puerto rico and the US. and they have each guy (or, each of four big famous guys) and his position, in spanish, and did you know that shortstop is campo corto?
i am timer-corto. i want out of this (splendidly flexible, living-wage-paying, fully-non-secretarial) job (that i should be grateful to have until june). i want to be in the library reading books about my thesis ideas. or: pretending to read books about thesis ideas while actually making lists of camera equipment i would like to buy and potential baby names and checking my hair in the reflective window.
freedom is so close. i can smell it. it smells really good. and then later i will start complaining about it, probably, but for now i am straining at my chains. the grass is so much greener over there.
