Dreaming

Jan and I had some business in Charlottetown yesterday. As we were waiting to cross the street I saw somebody I had not seen for a while. He was looking more well-dressed than I remember being usual for him; no doubt this was a result of him being very good at what he does and being promoted accordingly. We crossed the road against the light to chat for a minute. I told him he was looking good and asked him what he was up to.
“I’m livin’ the corporate fuckin’ dream.” was his response, spoken with deliberate deadpan clarity. I still think of the possibilities of corporate life and the steady paycheck (and so do many others). It is good to be reminded that the dream may not be all bunnies and unicorns.
