Panning

11:30am

Just back from the job....for a lunch break...it smelled glorious outside. I LOVE this time of year. I came back home to get something nice to eat, to get out in the real world and because I wanted to blog. Someone at work brought up their idea of 'panning' and it got me thinking of the following.

When one uses the word panning, I, myself, at least, before this job, would have immediately thought of 'to pan' as in moving the camera quickly in a horizontal position so at to get a panoramic look at your surroundings. This is because of my art background. I would not have thought of its use as an active verb for putting bread in the pans. (Mother would probably be appauled at that use....as it is probably anything but the Queen's English....as least I don't think it is).

Aahhh.... I see I am actually thinking of MORE that one thing since I have brought up my mom's name too.

The person at work asked me if "I was the one who 'LIKED' panning". It has been obvious to me that most people there don't, especially the young ones who definately try to only do the things they like. I actually am getting a little tired of the panning. I could not say that 'I like the panning'.

In fact, I realize that what they INTERPRET as 'liking' is actually my being in touch with my BREATH...and thinking about what Knowledge has taught me...AND have the peace and quiet to actually concentrate on it. Also at my breaks I try to take as much time as is available to 'practice' Knowledge...to myself. So it is a little funny to see how things are being interpreted.

I could have gone into what a work ethic I have...blah blah blah....and some of that is true....I do as good a job as I can even in the dark and cold hold one has to work in in order to DO the panning...AND because the shapes are much like clay shapes....I can get a small satisfaction from doing something somewhat familiar.
