I left for work this morning before the sun was up since I had a major deadline to complete at the office. My boss had agreed that as long as the finished file is on his desk by then end of today, he will consider my request to work fewer hours so I can spend more time at home with my young bride and our young baby. He was reluctant to accede to my request but since I made it on the provision that if not granted, I would leave and take the company's major clients with me to set up my own firm.
Claiming my independence has become so much more important to me since I met my new wife. Although she is much younger than I, she simply makes my life complete; I have never been happier than I am now. My sadness is derived from the fact that my job in the city requires such long days that I haven't had a chance to make love to my wonderful sexy wife in over three weeks and I am becoming very, very frustrated; as, I am sure, has she. My baby is a highly sexed woman and that is only one of the many reasons I love her so much.
Back to the day; I had been travelling along the freeway on the way to the city for half an hour into the two-hour commute. On the hazy horizon – the sun was only just rising and, since I was driving in a northeasterly direction, it was shining almost directly into my eyes – I saw what appeared to be a massive pileup of vehicles! It was quite obvious that someone had called it in since there were several state troopers and ambulances in attendance as well as the whirling blades of a MediVac helicopter. I could see no reason to drive into the glare just to see what was happening (I am not that kind of ghoul) so I found the next available median crossing and turned my SUV homeward.
It only took me about twenty minutes until I arrived on my street and drove quietly into the driveway. I had left Julie sleeping as well as the babe and didn't want to disturb them. I figured that I would go into my hope office and e-mail the boss explaining what had happened and that I would come into the office later to complete that all-important project. Of course, in my opinion, the project was simply time filler since any flunky in the office could have crunched the numbers. It was just one other reason I was becoming disenamoured with the job.
I removed my shoes at the back door and proceeded down the darkened hallway to my office. However, I had only just started when I noticed the sliver of light from below the almost closed door to the den/office. I crept nearer to investigate since I never leave either the light on or the door ajar. There are too many important papers strewn about and since the baby is just starting her initial steps and loves to explore, Julie and I agreed that the door should remain closed.
