Arthur's Story

Life Right now, I am living out in the Middle-of-nowhere Alabama. The town is called Chatom and is populated with some of the kindest people I've ever known. I married my high school sweetheart in 2001. She is a pastor with United Methodist Church, having graduated from Emory University in 2006. My stepson, Nicholas, finishes Graduate School from USA next year, 2010. I am the only one who has chosen to remain ignorant. I've been working for Hughes Aircraft - now Boeing Satellite Systems - since 1984 and am still waiting for my first raise. Boeing is based in Los Angeles, California where I resided from 1984 until 2001. It's a long 2000-mile commute. I was late to work every day, usually by four days, so now I telecommute. The biggest problem is that nobody out here has heard of broadband, so I had to purchase a satellite dish that's bigger than the house. I share it with my neighbor the cow so she can watch the farm market report. I miss my friends from California and Nebraska, but life is good. But, after living in apartments all my life, I had to adjust to rural life. No Starbuck's, no Barnes & Noble, no Best Buy or CompUSA. Just cows, a tractor that I had to learn how to drive and to fix, snakes, and every kind of weird bug imaginable. If something breaks down, I hav...Expand for more
e to fix it. Once I got the tractor stuck in the mud, so I hooked it up to the front end of the truck (yes, I now drive a truck!) and told my wife to back up while I steadied and guided the chain. After reviewing the incident in my mind, I know now that my mistake was in the words that I chose to use. I told my wife to "hit it". I guess she thought I meant "please drive forward at top speed and squish my head in between the truck and the tractor". All I remember is looking up and seeing this enormous truck grille smiling at me as it became bigger and bigger - very quickly. You know, adrenaline is a wonderful thing. I had no idea a 50-year-old guy with a bad back could possibly move that fast, especially from a crouching position. But I lived, and went on to many, many more rural country-type accidents and injuries. But at night, it's very quiet, and when you look up at the sky you can almost see the Milky Way. The people are kind, and God looks down on us with a smile. Workplace My office is in a room that was once a spare bedroom, my uniform is my Spongebob Squarepants pajamas, and my office mates are two dogs and two crazy cats that are more like small gang of street thugs. Whenever my wife is gone, they gang up on me and torture me mentally and sometimes physically.
