Standing in the sun

Mood: Always Happy
Listening to: Killers



It's looking like another scorcher today.  Definately going to get into the
30s again I reckon.

I've been watching a security guard across the street, standing in the sun.
I mean, the thing is, there's nothing special in the fact that he's standing
there, except there's no way I could do that:  Just stand there.  No queues,
I walk when I'm on an escalator, I even hate lifts to be honest.  It seems
to take huge mental effort to do nothing.  Like an inverse scale.

Perhaps it's got something to do with a test of mettle, or maybe people that
can stand still for long periods like this are willing to 'settle'.  I'm not
talking Buddhist contemplation, I'm talking about a security guard.  I am
also not talking about smelling the roses.  I just don't get it.

What does this person think about on his 12 hour shift? Standing in the
sun...
