If it were your favorite novel, you’d be 2/3rds the way through the book and just about to find out who murdered Dr. Hunt but not believe it entirely because you’re waiting for the twist at the end.
If it were a video game, you’d have just finished level 22 and about to go through stocking up on some really awesome tools of warfare for the boss on level 23, knowing that it would take a miracle for you to win since you’ve never been to this particular boss before and you’re low on ‘life’ power.
If it were a movie, you’d have finished your popcorn about 15 minutes ago and drank so much of your soda that you have to use the bathroom but can’t get up because you don’t want to miss any of the last part of the movie.
If you were 11 and playing at your best friend’s house, it would be right after you got done playing kick-the-can in the dark. You won the game and know that your fame will outlive you in your neighborhood and you are about to find out if you will sneak out later and TP someone’s house.
But it’s really just my life. I’ve been out of work for a few weeks now. I have nothing in savings and no prospects except one. And the job I want is not in San Diego, away from Mr. Joe San Diego, which is very sad, but itÂ’s in Sherman Oaks which is close to my kids, which is good. And it pays better than anything I can find in my area. So, I’ve made it through 2 call-backs and will be going to the third either on Friday or early next week to meet the Boss. It’s been a lot of driving back and forth and I’ve become very intimate with the traffic between here and there which wears on me. But I really want this job now. The more I learn about the company, the more I want to be a part of what they are doing.
I’m not sure about anything in my future. What a strange place to be. But, a good one since it’s honest.
