Cog, bullshit, vampire potential

I had the kind of day at my day job that makes me want to get a black cape and sharpen my eye teeth. I know I’m just a cog, but dammit, I take pride in the way my cog contributes to the whole, and when someone tries to mess with my cog. . . . Anyway, I was caught up in this bullshit for the better part of the day and into the evening, and, finally, when I realized I’d forgotten to eat dinner and it was getting late, I just grabbed my camera and walked out the door.

I ended up a few blocks away, at a house that has to have the best display of Christmas lights I’ve ever seen. I stood on the sidewalk and looked up, and it sounds too easy, but all the stuff I’d been so upset about just minutes before faded away. How could I be pissed when I was surrounded by all that light?

Zero vampire potential.
