Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
4/20: enforced leisure
When 6 p.m. came around, my office suite-mate and I were still at work so we decided to go get some pizza for dinner. The service at the restaurant ended up being incredibly slow, which meant that we couldn't rush (and there was no point getting impatient). Some other people from work were seated not too far from us, which meant that we couldn't talk openly or loudly about work-related politics. So we talked about other things and didn't watch the clock. And by the end of the meal we definitely felt more relaxed and less stressed than at the outset.
