				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The engine warning light is on, I say to the mechanic. Can you plug it in and see what&#8217;s wrong? Also the windshield is cracked and the back seat windows roll themselves down.<br />
You&#8217;ll have to leave it here, he says. We&#8217;ll call you later than you expect and say something cryptic only car guys understand. Or better yet, we&#8217;ll wait so long to call you that you call us first.<br />
Sounds good, I say. Can you have your cleaning lady drive me to the station?<br />
Will do, he says.<br />
I am happy because I catch the same train as always (the one I take on the days I use that station because I drop Gamma there, and not the usual station nearer our house).<br />
Then I am happy because the bus doesn&#8217;t drive away without me.<br />
Then I am happy because I figure out relatively quickly that the connecting bus isn&#8217;t operating because school vacations.<br />
Then I am happy because I can just cross the street and take a subway to a different bus.<br />
Then I am happy because, when I trip and fall on my face entering the station, I don&#8217;t break anything. Fuck you too, ground.<br />
Then, because so many nice people stop and ask me if I&#8217;m okay, including a man in a black fedora and an attractive young woman.<br />
Then, because, when I tell them I think I&#8217;m fine, they all look at me and ask, Are you sure? Which suggests it was really spectacular.<br />
Then, because, thinking about it, I had managed to avoid falling on the guy in front of me, which would have caused a domino-like catastrophic group fall in the subway station.<br />
Then because the next bus isn&#8217;t very full because school vacation.<br />
Then because two crows greet me at the office, demanding dog food.<br />
Then because I am sitting down at my desk before I realize I am dizzy.<br />
Then because youtube suggests a bunch of dark ambient music.<br />
Then because the crows are all, like, waddup? And I&#8217;m like, waddup? And they&#8217;re like, this is so fucked. And I&#8217;m like, what. And they&#8217;re like, whaddya mean what? Everything dude. And I&#8217;m like, now would be a good time for like aliens or god or someone to intervene. And they&#8217;re like, what are you talking about, you&#8217;re the god of the office. And I&#8217;m like, oh yeah I forgot.<br />
But that&#8217;s a non-interventive position.<br />
Unfortunately.</p>
