Late Night

It's funny how we do the craziest things to get what we want.  I want higher pay.  The only way to obtain this is to go back to school.  So here, it's 10:00 pm and I'm waiting for the ferry.  I got out of class approximately an hour ago.  I'm exhausted and tomorrow there is more toil at my place of employment.  I'm just so tired all the time.  I want to step through the glass mirror in the puddle and transport to another world.  Perhaps there, life wouldn't seem so desolate.

Land of Opportunity

The Big Apple.  Land of Opportunity.  City of Dreams.  The City That Never Sleeps.  The City So Nice, They Named It Twice.  The Capital of the World.  Gotham City.  

Today is the day that I will begin the journey to obtaining the American Dream.  Today is the day I acquire employment in the big city.   Two job interviews and one callback, I'm on a roll. The ferry travels across the harbor to Emerald City.  All I need is a job as an administrative assistant in one of those crystal high-rise buildings.  Everything is possible when you work in the city.
