apologies, my comeback to xanga has been stalled by my sudden interest in yelp.
but the more i think about it the more i disagree with what yelp is doing, has done but that is for another time
// two months, but it feels like it has been years
and ghana seems a world away but what i learned in ghana i will not soon forget it's terrifying to realize that everything i have done and studied up to now is utterly useless what is knowledge
i just graduated from a university and i don't even know how to start a camp fire knowledge is heavily dependent on external situations
and eyes determine how we move.
// God works in strange ways last week at work i clogged the toilet
i flushed it, the water rose
i don't know what compelled me to flush it again
i think at the time it made sense, but no.
the toilet overflowed and flooded the bathroom floor
i stood there in an anxious panic
no windows to jump out of
i went back, sat quietly for awhile but decided something had to be done
so i spoke with the manager and told him i noticed that one of the stalls in the girls restroom was clogged
he called the night cleaning crew and gave them a heads up i left out that the bathroom was flooded.
something had to be done
so i printed a "CAUTION, WET FLOOR" sign to tape to the bathroom door
my coworkers looked at me curiously and asked me what i was doing
i deered for 30 seconds
but decided to come clean
so i told them the story
and to my sweaty surprise, they laughed
and their laughter opened up a whirlwind of conversations
i had been praying for weeks for my coworkers to like me
before i flooded the bathroom
their dislike of me was more than obvious,
mostly due to my own incompetence
God works in strange ways
