ferry

from the night before last...

I was on a ferry, but it was like a small boat as well. I love boats and water, so it was somewhat fun, but it felt somewhat constricting. I was at the bottom of the boat and with only one small hole in the ceiling to get out. And then I had to go to a job. It was for an old roommate of mine's (LN) family. They didn't speak English and I think they found me somewhat annoying, being non Asian, and not knowing their way of doing things. The matriarch was busy doing things, welcoming in a way, but also busy busy and wanting me to get up to speed so that I could be busy busy. She had a teenage son that was into his headphones while working. He seemed to be somewhat of a good multi-tasker, although I don't think he was convincing his mother of this. I felt a bit panicked there, somewhat not belonging, not knowing what I was supposed to do, knowing I most likely wouldn't do it as they liked and feeling like I should really be some place else.
