The events of the world rise toward the top of the big drop.
Events on the job rise toward the top of the big drop.
It has been a while since I have been employed in a profession so indirectly directly affected by world events.
When the downward drops begins, the metaphor breaks. We don’t know where the coaster is going to end up with the Iraqi infractions, and the course of my current job is similarly unpredictable. The coaster will undoubtedly jump the tracks in one way or another in both arenas.
Fun for me. Fun for the world.
