change

I changed jobs last week.

A new office building opened up in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, not too far from where I used to work. It's a beautiful building with a big marble lobby, plants everywhere, and all of the latest technology. So naturally, it charges more rent per square foot than any other building in the city.

I was walking by it on my way to lunch a couple of days ago and noticed that the building management company had posted a "help wanted" sign outside. I went in and asked the man at the front desk what position they were looking to fill. He told me that they were looking for people to work in "security, maintenance, cleaning, and hospitality."

To make a long story short; I'm sure you're all familiar with revolving doors. The revolving doors in this building are divided into fifths. My job is to stand inside one of those fifths, and push the door while people walk in and out of the building so that they don't have to push the door themselves. (some people don't like to push, some people don't like to touch the door at all) I also offer to carry their bags through the door.

It's a good gig. I used to get dizzy after working for a few hours. But now I get dizzy anytime I'm not working.
