How do you want to retire?

“Fortune Cookie”

Yesterday I was called into a meeting with my boss who I have never met. I’ve been working on this job for 4 1/2 years. I never actually met my boss.. I’ve talked to him and I like him.

I ordered the papaya salad, and a minute later the waitress came back and told me they were out of papayas. What I needed at this point was rumbling thunder, to foreshadow the events that were to come.

I suggested a few restaurants and he insisted on driving to my side of town. We decided on a Thai restaurant which has to be the most ordinary Thai restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. What is so extraordinary about this restaurant is how ordinary it is.

I asked my boss how the food is and he said. It’s OK.

I hate work meetings, so I cut to the chaste. This is a weird sentence as I do not know what Chaste means. By this time I was sick of Small talking.

I asked him where his project is going in the future.

He told me The Senate bill we were working on is over, complete and our last day of work would be the end of June.

It looks like I’m retired.

Soon.

    Whoah.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
