Just Lights

Fourth of July today.  For me, it pretty much came and went. 

I’ve never cared much for the festivities of the day, even as a kid.  We’re right in the middle of summer, which means if I’m outside, I’d have to deal with the heat that accompanies being outside.  I don’t do well outside when it’s hot.  I’d sooner just stay inside with the air conditioner on. 

Fireworks are cool, I guess, but not enough for me to brave those elements outside.  At the end of the day and into the night, they’re just lights.  Noisy lights if you’re close enough. 

I worked today and got in some more of that overtime.  The office was completely empty, so I was productive and able to do what I needed to do.  I also did my best not to wake up security when I got there this morning just before 4:45am.  Even now and then I try to be respectful.      

Rest assured, I’ll be back tomorrow for more fun, games, and that overtime.  Can’t readily say that I’ll try not to wake security though.  They really should try harder to stay awake.  It’s not like I come in making kinds of noise, but I know that the door closes loudly behind me.  Could wake someone up.  Whatever.  I don’t care.  I have stuff to do, regardless of who happens to be awake.                         

It seems that I work best when the office is empty, or most empty.  I don’t regard security as contributing to the office population.  They’re just there.  They don’t bother me and they usually don’t even know that I’m there, which is exactly how I’d prefer it.  I’m just at my cubicle typing away.  I’m not bothering anyone.  I’m not being disruptive.  Security can just keep walking or stay asleep.  Whatever they choose, I don’t particularly care.  As I said before, I have stuff to do.

I thought I had more to write, but I don’t.  I didn’t anticipate attacking the security folks at work either, but there you go.  I’m sure they’re good folks, but that doesn’t mean that they contribute anything to that office.  Of course, I could same the very same thing about the people who actually work in that office.  The majority of them are merely taking up space and wasting oxygen as it is. 

I’ll write more this weekend. 

Until then, enjoy your fireworks.  To me, they’re just lights.
