... the kind
of day when you just want to call in sick. It's raining outside, the skies are grey and it's almost chilly. Just the perfect day to snuggle back under the covers and sleep till noon. Unfortunately, since I'm not a taitai but merely a salaried worker, I had to come in to work.
Today reminds me of winters in Berkeley, when some days would be cold enough that your breath would frost up and when you got out of bed you felt that blast of cold air as you threw off the covers. The skies would be leaden and the clouds so low that you could almost touch them. Everyone would be bundled up in sweaters and scarves, except for some crazy jocks who would persist in walking around in shorts. Those were the days when 8am classes had the worst attendance levels.
Last night, I had a revelation. I realised I'm free at last. You have no power over me.
And just like that, the skies outside have brightened up. It's going to be a great day.
