Today’s plan

mr-7:

  1. Get up.

  2. Survive.

  3. Go to bed.

It’s much the same as every other day. I’m also stuck on 1.

I once had to fill out a self-evaluation at work that included the question, “What are your long-term goals?”

My response was, “I don’t set long-term goals, only daily goals. My goal today is the same as every day: Make it back to bed without killing myself.”

When my boss read it, she said, “That isn’t very funny.” I said, “It wasn’t intended to be.”

We had a somewhat strained relationship after that.
