i'm losing all those stupid games that i swore i'd never play

i have this thing tomorrow, work-related. and while i'm a bit nervous about it, the thing is, i had to iron some clothes for it. and in doing so, i realized that i'm glad i don't have a job where i have to iron clothes on a regular basis. yet there i was, ironing my shirt. i like to think i'm pretty good at not 'playing the game'. you know, the game, where people are out there trying to out-cool each other, or desperately tryig to do what is expected of them. that was never my thing. my job will never be ideal, but i've created a lifestyle where i'm comfortable, and i have a degree of freedom that keeps me sane.

yet i can't help but think that i'm still playing the game......
