Color Coded Carrots
A strange transition has been occurring over the last five days. I have been working weekends, staying up late, waking early, going over countless details and ideas during my day. Instead of waking up in the mornings to pee, I wake up to do research and edit pages. This job to which I am referencing, is a job I don’t have. It is a dream job that eludes me like a carrot on a stick.
Conversations of craziness run through my conscious mind about this carrot. “I want that carrot! You already have a nice mound of hay, can’t you just be content with that? NO! I want the carrot and I’m going to get it! You really think you can? Hell yes I can. I know I can.”
On my first solo backpacking trip long ago, I began talking to myself to fill the time. After confessing this to a good friend and asking if it was odd, they told me “You can talk to yourself all you want, its when you start answering back that you have a problem.” By that logic I must have a problem and I see only one solution.
That’s right. I must get the carrot.
I can only hope this random story of questionable sanity reaches the right readers. Who are the right readers? If your a little crazy too than you may already know the answer. They’re holding the stick.
Well captors of the carrot… I may not color code all my excel sheets, but you’ll never see me with color coded ice cream outside of lunch hours either. I’m much more interested in carrots.
