The brick is photographed with the long continuous lines of grout running vertically. The image is displayed upside-down so the disappearing point for the grout is below the image.

Norms 4: Work

I've been debating what profession I should go into.

Wait, let me rephrase that, I've been debating what I should do with my life.

I 'm more and more sure I don't want to get stuck in a business office. Not that I'm allergic to the matter, but well its really the facades that we put up that I'm allergic to.

I make a descent amount of phone calls with my current job to other businesses. There is this formality we have of saying "How are you?" Its honestly about as formulaic as answering the phone "Hello." Its partially a BS facade that we put up just to seem pleasant.

It would be better if we were pleasant, which I do my best to do. But, I'd rather be in an environment without the facades.
