ice and slipping

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.01.12

Two of my coworkers have slipped recently and injured themselves. One managed to cut open his cheek and break his arm way up at the shoulder while doing so.

Our street remains such an icy mess that even though I could easily walk around the well-plowed city center in shoes, I wouldn't survive the trip to the street car stop and so I'm still tromping around in boots.

rand()m quote

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
