Hello Tribune!

Today was my first day at work! I'm so thankful to see how life has been unraveling in the past few months! It's also quite refreshing to be in an environment that challenges me to make good work and go beyond what's expected.

It's kind of funny how this day started. Feeling unsettled, I started writing on the train ride to Chicago.

As I'm sitting on the train, I find myself thinking about hacking potential zombies. Last night, I had a grueling nightmare, warding off the undead with only a butter knife. It's quiet in here. Man, I hope nobody sits by me. Can't stop flinching at any sudden movement. It's kind of like being stuck in a Shaun of the Dead movie. Ah! Someone just sat across from me and I really hope that she doesn't bite my head off!...and I really hope she doesn't catch a horrible glimpse into my violent mind at the moment.

Someone: "Do you write a lot?"

Me: "Not really."

Someone: "Writing is good. I like to write down the funny things my kids say so I can bring them up when they're older."

Me: "Oh, that's a good idea."


Thank you random lady, for talking to me and hitting me back to reality!
