BRING ON THE SPRING!

So, I currently live in a place that enjoys winter a bit longer than most other places in the US, but today… today we have had 50 degree weather, and it has been lovely.

There is something about the coming spring that is so exciting… new life? new opportunities? allergies? Either way, today was the first day that felt legitimately springy.

Something additional I find amazing is the first time you actually get to smell rain after a long winter. Not the kind of rain that actually just freezes the second it hits the ground, or the weird mix between rain and snow (not sleet or hail… you know what I'm talking about…), but real, clean, warm rain. I love it.

I've also been thinking a lot lately as to how human everyone is. My current occupation has a relatively poor connotation. Because of my occupation it seems people feel they can treat me as less than human. There have been so many times where I've wanted to stop people and say, "You do realize that you just treated me like less thank human because of my job. If you had done that to anyone else, in any other profession, you would actually feel bad about yourself right now…"
