forced socializing

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.06.16

Charlie missed his flight! He checked it repeatedly, but was always reading the arrival time rather than the departure. He had to stay over again. We were forced to go eat with the Chako once more, dangit. I wound up carrying her up part of Yonge St, straddling my shoulders.

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.
