  Starbucks and wifi

I am doing something today i have never done before. Sitting in a Starbucks, connected to the wifi and surfing the inter-web. I have dreamed about this day for what seems like ages. This has been the life i wanted...waking up, walking up the street to starbucks, speding hours ojn the internet, networking, working, writing, wasting time on facebook. I have thought if i could get paid for this...this would be my ideal day every day.

It is slightly less fulfilling than i had imagined. It might be because everybody has today off and there are a lot of people in here, and there are college students having loud conversations about football and new years eve antics....

I have this dream one day of working my own hours, making my own decisions, and doing the majority of my work from home or from a starbucks somewhere. I am not sure this is ever going to be a reality, because we have to pay the bills, and send the girl to school, and save for college and retirement.

For today, this will work...the wife and daughter are down in Florida with family, so i can sit here with my laptop pretend that i work for myself and have a really cool job that lets me sit here and be cool in a coffee shop...Because tomorrow its back down town to the real job where they do pay me the money to pay my bills...

Oh, and its clearing a little in here, and the noise level is dropping, i just hope the college kids now talking about ESPN and how much sports they watch will soon finish their hot beverages and go home...
