The Minutes Pass :: Personal Narrative, Autobiographical Essay

The Minutes PassI sit at a round desk for octet hours eight bucks an hour and doodle. The phone rings once or twice every few hours (if Im lucky, that is) and the population of people over 50 seems to originate by the minute. I sit with my legs crossed, sandal-less, wearing work shoes and my work smile. I enjoy the company I find myself in, even if it is a approximate book and a nice thought of myself at the beach. So I play tunes in my head, sing songs of glory under my breath, even snack on crackers when my stomach grumbles.

Only true Americans, and maybe some Europeans, can come to some sort of conclusion within themselves about the truth in things of small importance.

I say Americans because were the home of the free, the home of the brave, all that good stuff. Every other country looks up to us for one reason or other we are the Mother country. Only it takes a true American to actually comment on the facts that really come into play while living in an unmistakable society. I mean kids are still hungry, households are disrupted, yet theres a working world out there for us all. Jobs should be out ther e, and I think they may be.
