I recently received an email from a friend expressing how my office view is better than theirs. While the view might be slightly more agreeable, remember that three computer monitors and a soft office chair is pretty sweet! I bet the structure you’re in has a bathroom, so you can drink all the coffee you want with-out ever worrying about where you are going to land to release it. And I bet the temperature in your room is comfortable, with similar temperatures both on the floor and ceiling. You’re probably reading this in a long-sleeve shirt or a hoodie, rather than long undies and a goose down vest while scalding your right calf on hot heating tubes and freezing your elbows on the windows. You also have a nice flat surface for eating your lunch, so your juice box never spills. I am generally smeared with peanut butter and jelly, my teeth are gritty from dirt discovered in the cheese stick that fell from my knee to the floor in a turn, and water from my nalgene bottle drips off my ear lobes after finding turbulence in mid-drink. Not to mention you probably get up and walk around the room occasionally, to pick on co-workers, and stretch your legs, but when I do that the passenger freaks out. One more thing, I bet it’s been months since somebody in your office puked in a zip-lock bag just 18 inches from your head while broadcasting the sound effects through a microphone into your ears … I experience that joy often.
This is exactly why I post my photos on-line, I do the all the hard-work and you get to enjoy the view from a comfortable office chair with a juice box. Just a simple reminder that “the grass is always greener”.
