On the meridian of time, there is no injustice: there is only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama.

I need a quick break from work... so I blog

A moment in time at work:

I am working at overhauling a survey while simultaneously trying to look up the current condition of New Orleans since Big Kahuna 1 just pulled me into her office to ask me if I'd rather stay in the St. Charles parish, the French quarter, or downtown. I'm not sure how long I'll be down there, but it'll be sometime in the first week of June. Big Kahuna 1 was so sweet, asking me my preferences and going out of her way to make sure that I got to take the best advantage over visiting NOLA. Of course, I told her that I'd never been and so my preferences were really nothing more than a blind guess... at which point I started to see her mental gears churning. She said that she'd do a little research by word of mouth to see what the area is like and which area would be best.

Currently overheard two pukas down -
Guy 1: You should really take a walk on the trails after work. The forest out back is just wonderful. The scent of honeysuckle, you can see cardinals, no traffic noise. I love to walk the trails for a few minutes after work to listen to nature.
Guy 2: Not a bad idea.
Guy 1: It's a wonderful way to unstress after work. It's cooler in the shade of the trees; you can't beat it.
Guy 3: --And then you find a Victoria's Secret catalog.

To do the other guys credit, they didn't touch Guy 3's addition to the conversation. But it was kinda funny to hear the awkward silence while they tried to pick the conversation back up.

Hey, wait, did I mention that I'm going to NOLA? My very first plane ride! Horray! :D
