Our bodies are garbage heaps: we collect experience, and from the
decomposition of the thrown-out eggshells, spinach leaves, coffee
grinds, and old steak bones of our minds come nitrogen, heat, and very
fertile soil.� Out of this fertile soil bloom our poems and stories.

Hee. The chief of my division happened to catch a piece on the radio
about this dubious bit of reportage last week... says to me, "So, I
hear you've got the best job in the world. Does this mean we can cut
your salary because, heck, you're just having so much *fun* that
money is immaterial??"
We snickered a bit over that, and then he said a little more
seriously, "Though I don't know where they get that crap about the
'low stress' and 'short work weeks'. You've only been here five
months but you're already a prime burn-out candidate what with the
work-load you've got".
Well, I suppose the chief exaggerates a little, but yes, it's a
stressful job. Ten-hour days minimum, in on weekends, eat at my
desk, phone ringing constantly, incessant deadlines, technical snafus
causing mayhem... oh well, you guys know the drill. We've put in a
requisition to hire me some more staff, and I sure could use them.
