self control machine

God I need one of these. It’s been a long weekend and I’m working a real job again all this week. They want me at work by 8:30 every day, I have to “look busy”, play all those games.

Tonight after work I went straight to a bar and emptied out a storage room for them. They’re gonna pay me in beer. That’s the kind of work I need. Beer rotted plywood and industrial size cans of tomato paste with a crust of sauce inside them, rusted metal fittings to machinery I don’t understand, broken broom handles and bar stool legs. Load it up and head to the bar.

There wasn’t a thing to salvage. But this is the kind of work I like. Back scratcher stuff. Junk for booze. Mighty neighborly. You know the type.

I’d like to wish you all a good week ahead. There’s something floating out there in the breeze. Guess it’s a message. Sounds like it’s saying if you can’t be good, at least be safe.
