Temporary Joys

Chilled beer and a tantrum.

Each life demand requires a different thought process to deal with it.

You congratulate yourself and revel in the joy of clearing your inbox.

But your boss is furious because she’s been waiting all day for you to deliver the project plan for her client meeting tomorrow morning!

You take your work home, go all night, and manage to get it to her in the nick of time.

Back home with eyes red and aching body, you grab a chilled beer and sit in your favourite chair.

During your well deserved moment celebrating saving the day, your daughter bursts into the room and throws a tantrum.

“You promised to play with me, but every time I come you have work!”

Life is fucking complicated and so are her demands.
