I guess someone has to do that

I love running into old friends! Today I was coming back from lunch and I hear someone call my name. So I look up. Naturally, I was staring at my phone, paying no attention to the world around me, and there he was, old friend. All full of smiles and open arms. The sun sparkled off his facial piercing.

We hugged and exchanged pleasantries. He was on break from his job. He is a window washer. He climbs mountains in his spare time so scaling a skyscraper to wash its exterior window is no big deal to him.

It made me think, what a weird job to have. I guess someone has to do it. But there are a lot of weird jobs. Not just the extremely weird jobs of armpit smeller and panda masturbater, but jobs like, cardboard box assembly. Goldfish delivery driver, someone has to supply the local pet store.

So, it is normal to think, that if I was even more glued to my phone, I would have missed this encounter and may have never thought about the people who deliver all the pretty tropical fish to the pet store?

    "Goldfish delivery driver". Nice title for just a standard "truck driver". It has a nice ring to it.

    The funnest part of that business is to actually catch the fish. One of the tools we used was a "slurp gun", believe it or not.
