At this point, I think most of us have heard of 6 word stories/memoirs; I love hearing them.  I listened to a podcast at work today discussing the latest and how they are helpful writing prompts and even theraputic.  I was feeling really emotional today, I don't know if it's because I hate my job so much and at the same time fear being fired, my hearing is coming up in 10 days, or not much happening on the job seeking front--probably all of the above.  So I went the theraputic route and wrote:

I do not really work here.

And you know what?  I did feel better!  It's a really good tool.

Today was also the big day to buy tickets for Burning Man, they went on sale at 10am online.  I was totally prepared, but wasn't able to get on until about 10:06.  At that point there were 6100 people ahead of me!  I think it went pretty fast through.  By noon, I had bought 2 tickets.  Missed the first tier, but got the second for $240.  My friend was out of the office at a seminar so it was all on me.  I'm excited, but it's so far away I can't really feel it yet.  We still have much to do, find the community we want to join, decide what we will contribute, etc.  We have some ideas, but again, so far off.
