Personal Hells...
I discovered my personal Purgatory today - it's sitting in a courtroom all day, with a pile of files that doesn't end no matter how many cases you call, and a list on your screen that keeps growing, not skrinking... and you know you're not going anywhere until it's done.
*sighs*
Yes, another molasses day at work today. Again, not really that much, but it just dragged out so long... We ended up adjourning the half-hour "Not Guilty" stop sign matter (someone objected to getting the ticket) for another day, even though everyone agreed it would only take fifteen minutes. I hate when that happens - someone waits patiently all day at court, only to be told, "We can't do your case, it's too late in the day." Feh.
But to continue the theme... I've always thought of Heaven and Hell, if there is in face such places/concepts, as being what the person imagines them to be. To that end, Hell for me would be riding my bike (with the seat the wrong height and no oil on the chain and flat tyres) up an endless mountain in blazing heat, with no water and sandpaper in my knicks. *grins*
Heaven I haven't thought so much on - somewhere peaceful and sunny and green; more a feeling than a place, a sensation of warmth and comfort and love.
So there's the challenge to those who read my ramblings - describe your personal Heaven and Hell, if you have them. Serious or tongue-in-cheek, whatever tickles your fancy.
