seeking meaning

something i fear is that the work i've done will be viewed as meaningless--that the interactions i have with others will ultimately be viewed as a waste of time, forgettable, or, even worse, intentionally blocked from their hearts and minds.

i want to do good work, and i appreciate the contributions that others have made in my own life, and i seek to honor and remember the support and guidance and joy that people have willingly shared with me, even when i can't reciprocate directly.

i don't want to forget.

i suppose some would see that as a fault.

I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally. It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

Damn! All my training is for shit! Here is a clever sign, but I can't explain why. Is this an example of irony? And if it's irony, is it dramatic irony? Or situational? Maybe verbal? Oh, the shame of being a member of Las Departamento de English and not being able to identify a smart rhetorical play when I see it! The shame!
