Workin Man - LG

Today I thought about the conversation I had with my cousin Dale. I
turned my ears because I knew he was drawing from the experience of
having this done to him twice over. He said that digging himself in at
work helped him pass the time. Brilliant! Lucky for me tax is hitting
its busy season again. All the extensions we prepared earlier now need
the return. No problem. Over the past two months I have struggled at
work. I've struggled to keep busy. Keep my mind focused. For the
past 3 weeks I've been focused at work. When I'm sitting down with my
mound of paper work, I'm intent on kicking it back out. Its lovely
because for those hours I'm focused on something else. Then at the end
of the day, I feel good from a hard days work. So after all this, I'm
a better worker?

I'm starting to feel some of the "I'm better without you" feeling.
Things are still so great. I'm a young professional with things to do
and the means to do them. The beat of my drum seems to be slowly
moving back to center. The good days feel so good. Times like these
are why I will always wonder why a person would take their own life.
Even in despair, one day you'll have a good one. One day, something
will happen that makes the worst of them worth the life we live.

Hey Logan, you went with another Pearl Jam tune? ;-)

That I did, this one is a little more recent than the last. Eddie has a way with words.
