You know, I think I need a job with more

natural sunlight. It was beautiful outside today, absolutely gorgeous, probably one of the last perfect autumn days. I was stuck inside all day in a kitchen with no windows. Well, actually one window and there's a giant oven in front of it.
I think my dream job would have the option, but not the requiremement, of being outside. Whatever that would be. Maybe I should do carpentry again someday.
Don't mind me, just dreaming out loud.

I thought you worked nights? Aren't you outside with the kiddos during the day? Here I was envying your night job with free day times to play......


see. The grass is always greener. Particularly when the other person is holding on to the flatbread recipe.

No, my schedule has morphed into a regular M - F, 9 to 5. Which at least is preferable to 3am sat night closing shift.

But maybe now would be a good time to confess that my coworker brings a portable dvd player to work sometimes and we watch Futurama during aforementioned flatbread making.
Hey, if I can't look out a window...

I know how you feel. I work in the gray cube--now windows at all. I have no idea what the weather is like outside.

Well, here's the flip side. I work outside some. Last week I was in St. Croix - sounds good except it was hotter than h@ll and poured rain on us.Everday. I also had to push a car out of the mud.

Yeah, outside is a good option.

mmmm. . . flat bread.

We might have to try harder to twist your arm on that one.

Shoot, now I have a craving
