Once upon a time, there was a little girl, whose parents told her when she grew up she could be anything she wanted to be.

Today, she sits in front of a computer monitor all day long and types things that are not all that interesting to her. She doesn't get paid very well for that either.

As she sits there, she wonders, how all those years of education could lead her to that very spot. Doing really meaningless stuff. And then she looked out of the window and thinks about all those other people, sitting in front of their computers, and wondered if they were bored too. She wondered how many people wondered the same thing. And if they did, why they were like her, and just sitting there and wondering.

This reminds of the cereal boxes with the picture of a person holding the cereal box...and then that cereal box has a picture with the person holding a cereal box and so on...then you just wonder...where does it all end?

The way I see it: I will be remembered by the next two generations. Then, I will be mentioned by name in a few projects on "My Ancestors". Then.......nothing. I will be completely forgotten...

Nobody has a more boring jobbie than moi! I tried to turn this to my advantage and now it's even more boring than it was. It's like being a night watchman during the day, except people occasionally interupt you. If you stare at the green dot for stretches, it will be even more boring but you'd get some advantage along the way. It could be character building and it must be better than being in jail. Hotboy
