Worrying
-How are things in flyover country?
-Every day the same.
-What a blessing!
-More excruciating chaos than usual
in the Power Hub?
-In jagged spades!
-How much of your day is spent worrying?
-What part isn't?
-That's where my new service comes in.
And more time and space here to pursue it.
-Professional Worrier?
-No charge at first. A trial.
-You might wanna keep that up. Those who
work for nothing can set their own terms.
-Uh huh? Well, moving slowly along, must be
a client driving you bananas?
-He has invaded my dreams, even. Toxic Doozy!
-Let me worry about him!
-I'd need to give you some facts.
-Fewer the better. My worry will thrust better.
-And, should I just snap into passive mode.
Or keep up the frustrating one of action?
-Yes.
-Which?
-Makes no difference. You're taking a vacation
from worry!
-(aside) Pass me my straw hat and a gin and tonic, Dorine!
-Don't fall asleep in the sun!
...
-You can stop. Client threw up his arms and
walked out!
-That's a solution. I think I helped.
-Whatever. I'm free!
-But...a contract, no? He has breached?
-I'm letting it slide.
-We'd sue, even in this slow place.
-You can't sue everybody! Well, you can,
but that'd shove out too many aspects
of the usual worry, setting up new ones.
-Leave them to me!
