coincidences are where we see
them...
the other night, a too-hard floor hurt my and sarah's
ankles and feet. today, the job
took us to an
University
of Washington gym to remove 12,000 square feet of maple floor which is
being replaced because it didn't "give" enough and thus was hard on athletes'
bodies. of course, prying up clipped-in floorboards with 30-pound bars and
stooping over to sort and box them isn't very good for our bodies,
but such is the lot of the servant class. but, actually, i prefer this kind
of work--the mind-numbing, body-breaking, massive task fosters camaraderie
and encourages a certain zen detachment. which is not to say i am a glutton
for labor. i'd also like to explore the camaraderie and zen detachment which
might come from surfing and snorkeling with friends at a tropical
beach.... |
