So, tonight, I've got nothing to say.
It's kind of nice, not having anything running through my head. Oh,
idle thoughts, to be sure. Things I might want to take up another
time. But tonight, no silliness, no rantings, ravings or jumpings up
and down.
Sometimes, I suppose, one reaches a
brief point where there aren't any significant pressures pushing in
one direction. Where everything just sort of works its way into a
calm and lets one breathe for a bit.
Tomorrow I start the night shift, and
have a number of people to start training and training with. That's
probably part of why I'm not feeling talkative at the moment. Moving
into a new situation always requires a certain amount of attention,
and does take away from that randomness that fuels this kind of
writing.
But in the meantime, I'm going to
continue saying nothing for a bit. Words can be useful for that,
from time to time. Not the nothing that so many public speakers end
up saying with words, but the kind of nothing that can say things
like “I'm still here”, “I'm thinking about you”, or “You
really should consider investing in a slightly less flammable
wardrobe at some point in the future.”
