Oh lord-a-mighty! I know EXACTLY how you feel! I had two weeks off from work, and going back today was absolutely DREADFUL! It's SO freaking sad how many of us do this day after day, week after week, until some year comes, and we look back at a life of wasted opportunities! To have BEEN something, DONE something. What agony! On the other hand, how many people would literally "kill" to have the job I have, with the money and benefits it provides. Those are the thoughts that make me feel even worse, because I really have it "great" compared to some of the people I have seen and known. Especially when I consider the people I saw in Mexico, "living" in cardboard houses, and in Bolivia, having to chew coca leaf all day to stave off hunger from a dinner that was NOT coming that day. Perspective? I guess. Still, I hated every tick of the damned clock today as I felt my heart sticking in my throat. Trapped, tired frustrated. Meaningless; just chasing the wind.
