at gym i was strutting like JTravolta on tread mill, timing my gait to the beat of tunes in my ears, feeling graceful and really cool for an hour. walked behind equipment to get my coat from floor, tripped on cords and nearly fell flat on my face. ha!
start of school class, we were asked to tell about ourselves in discussion board, including hobbies. i wrote "web dev, grand-babe, napping, and complaining." at this juncture in life i am no longer out to impression anyone. people can take me at face value. i am ok just exactly the way i am. it's good to be in my own skin finally.
I loathe it. I have been doing the same tasks, answering the same questions for six years. I haven't learned anything new in five years. No challenges, stretch goals, no projects. I am an auto-tron. I have become like so many before me...waiting for retirement. Can't leave or lose pension. Purgatory.
Whiteness in a racist, corporate controlled society is like having the image of an American Express Card. . . . stamped on one’s face:
immediately you are “universally accepted.” — Manning Marable
