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
12/9: not having to worry about traffic
I spent last night in a hotel near a medical center in Little Rock because I had some screening scheduled for the morning. Usually when I have to go in for tests I just drive down early--but the traffic is heavy and accidents (leading to long back-ups) are (unfortunately) common. More than once, even when I've given myself double the time for the drive, I've been stuck in a jam, anxiously looking at my watch as my appointment time got uncomfortably close or even passed by. This time I decided that since going in for testing is worrying enough there's no point in also getting worried about traffic--so I booked myself into a hotel less than 5 minutes from the medical center. It was great to wake up this morning and have one set of worries off the table.
