Waiting

Share a snapshot that shows a sense of waiting.

This sculpture is located inside 42nd Street Port Authority Bus Terminal. It is called the Commuters. You can see my fabulous brother Stephen posing with them.

Just throwing this picture in. Baby Boomers will recognize the Great comedian Jackie Gleason and of course are familiar with his portrayal of the character Ralph Kramden in the Honeymooners.

Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden How Sweet it is!

EAT, SLEEP, PRAY, SHOWER, WORK, REPEAT……..

EAT, SLEEP, PRAY, SHOWER, WORK, REPEAT……..

The New Paradigm

Every day that the weather is clear and good I will be at work. Only making an exception for a very close friend’s Birthday Celebration September 23rd and Of course for spending time with Stephen on Halloween.

It is more than clearing up debts and bills it is vital to just basic survival. My room-mate spoke with the Landlord and our rent will not go up for 2017 but wait until 2018 then a big increase. The transit fares go up, food costs go up therefore I cannot deviate from the plan. Unless you are part of the rich, wealthy elite this is the new life style. I must and will follow the plan until I can retire.

Laziness and taking time off equals poverty. She/he who does not work shall not eat. Many of my immigrant co-workers work Seven Yes 7 days a week otherwise you cannot afford to live in New York City. Now if I had a job making even $60,000 per year sure I could live a life of leisure but until my income increases I will be doing the six day thing for several months. I feel like a drone worker bee robot who is an ATM for bill collectors.

Like the Born I’ve been assimilated into the collective.

Me and the Borg in my old office job — Me and the Borg at my old office job where I made more money and had a better life.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul

The New Paradigm

I finally managed to get a new cell phone from another provider. I still owe T-Mobile but I just add them to the list of unpaid bills. Eventually I hope to get that situation figured out.

In the meantime I will be working six days a week to try to pay off my bills. This means I will not have time to pursue much writing. I have a few poems on deck for the end of September but writing will no longer be my priority. From now on it’s Survival Mode. In order to stay afloat I must sacrifice Family and Me time. I cannot eat or pay rent with my dreams, goals or desires.

In order to stay somewhat stable I need to come up with $1500 every two weeks. That means I need to be on my Grind 24/7/365. My job already requires me to work Holidays so that will be extra income. Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day I will be at work. No more vacations for the rest of the year.

I Apologize in advance for my slowness in replying to comments. In shifting my focus more towards my job it will take me days perhaps weeks to Reply so Please Don’t be Offended.
