the job that wasn't (lyn)

I was a freshman in college and taking a Philosophy class.  The professor, a very cool guy, came into class one day and wrote on the blackboard, "Life is a pig." Then without saying a word, he walked out.

I sort of felt like that today. Or rather some derivative, like, "Life can be unpredictably difficult."  Not as punchy, maybe, but true.   I didn’t train for my new census job as no one ever called to tell me where it was.  Not much more to say.
