The exercise:
Today's starter is: on the payroll.
Mine:
I was temping at UBC again today, this time in one of their payroll departments. I was entering time card info into a database, not really paying attention to names since it was organized by employee numbers.
Then I started entering the custodial staff cards. I couldn't help noticing all these beautiful, romantic, exotic names. They were mesmerizing and thrilling
And I wondered - what are names like these doing on floor washers and toilet cleaners? The names screamed out at me: we should be actors, musicians, poets! And maybe they were, but are no longer.
Or maybe they were and shall be again.
