  1. getting to spend the day doing my favourite thing at work.
  2. getting praise for how well I do that part of my job.
  3. popcorn made on the stove.
  4. extra butter and salt on the popcorn because that’s how I like it, and I live by myself so no one can judge me, except my fish, but I don’t listen to him because he eats bloodworms and swims in a circle. 
  5. run on sentences.

  1. spontaneous trips out of the city.
  2. uneventful ferry trips that allow me to catch up on work.
  3. being able to tune out the chatter of 50 young asian students all in matching uniforms – the girls with the same haircut and the boys with the same bored expression.
  4. giving a ride to a Korean Mary Kay representative who was stranded at the ferry.
  5. getting free stuff, and the promise of a free facial from the Korean Mary Kay rep as a thank you for driving her home.

this was what was waiting for me after a long day at the office.  yes, those are frozen peas.  this is what happens when two of my very intelligent friends need to solve the problem of not having any ice.  sometimes you just need to do a little mcgyvering. 

i have the best friends.

  1. striking up a conversation with people while waiting for the ferry on my way home from work.
  2. discovering that everyone waiting with me is from the prairies.
  3. also that one of the people lives in the same town as my sister.
  4. and that the entire family of one of the people is from the same place I was born.
  5. having a three minute conversation that was better than any conversation I’d had all day.
