idle tyme
i was thinking today that probably one of my most favorite things is to encounter people goofing off who either think that no one can see them or just don't give a damn in the first place. like the guys you see rounding up shopping carts in the supermarket parking lot that will kind of just fling those carts along and send them smashing about the place. one thing that's interesting about these hijinx is that they suggest an agitated wherewithal ... carts get slammed into other carts, boxes get tossed around in the file room (yep, speaking from personal experience there). it's one of those few moments, i think, where your mind has some idle time, being exhausted and bored and not thinking of anything in particular, least of all the task at hand. and what comes out of this clear-minded, quasi-zen state is all the residual anger and energy and god knows what else people build up during the day. it's amusing to witness how people amuse themselves.
