another goodbye

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.12.10

Another day in December, another huddle with a friend before I take off for Halifax. This time 'round it was Geoff Hamilton.

We met for "pan-Asian" cousine at a decent/cheap place downtown after I put in notice with my new building management that I'd be leaving at the end of the month.

Amusingly, I also came to a conclusion in the matter of the electronic organizer I'd buy. I decided to go with a $30 non-electronic paper "Day-planner". Apparently you can spend ungodly amounts of money on the paper ones, if you like, but I decided that the $400 that the electronic unit that best served my purposes was far beyond what I wanted to spend.

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.
