Later that day it turned out that ideas sometimes were left as ideas. This conclusion was drawn after playing a game of cards with someone of ill standing. By ill standing I mean someone who was both standing and ill. Not physically ill, mind you. Mentally ill. The kind of ill which is not readily apparent. Able to dress normal enough. Act normal enough. Eat, drink, work and walk normal enough. This is the kind of thing you learn about someone after meeting them in the morning. Sun is out, shining, everything fresh and nice. Not the kind of time of day you expect to have to be on guard. Unless you are in prison. Which on one hand you may be, or on another you may not be.

That said, there will be ample opportunity to panic, hyperventilate, bail-out, take on a 3rd job, lose your health benefits, turn gay and have an abortion all before noon. Provided your first job happens to be at Starbucks so you can use your health benefits. Remember those may go away due to either the general state of the economy or because of your sexual preferences.
