Back to the Grizzle!

I'm back to the werkforce tomorrow! I'm starting a contract linux admin position tomorrow morning at 8am. Back to having money and no time instead of time and no money and pulling the grind with the rest of the Western world. Back to standing in long lines on Sundays at Trader Joes and going to bed by 9pm. Back to drinking excessively to numb my brain of the day's headaches and having romantic dinners at the city's best vegan restaurants. Back to answering to a boss other than my own destiny and to the satisfaction of putting out tech fires and finishing long term projects. Back to uncoiling myself out from under the warm kitties sprawled casually on the bed and stopping into my favorite coffee shops for an americano with room and those malicious maple scones. Back to standing room-only on buses and catch-up lunches with all my buddies that work downtown. Back to never having enough home-time and being able to buy shoes that aren't used. Back to watching 4:20 click to 5:20 on the clock and seeing the sunrise color pink clouds over the cascades, slowing traffic on the Aurora bridge. Back to the worst and the best of the 9 to 5 (sing it, Dolly!). Selling my soul long enough to fund my way further towards my passion's progress.
