Civilization's Dirty Secret
Apr. 15th, 2009 09:39 amFor all the glories and conveniences civilization brings people, there's one problem with it.
It's BORING. All of the little, necessary work to keep things running? Not exciting. It's papers and numbers and routine maintenance and zoning laws and public meetings and procedures and plenty of non-exciting minuate. It's all the little things that need to be done and done right and when they're all done, then you've got the giant pretty skyscraper. Now you just need people to clean it.
Excitement is what happens when things go wrong.
