Great Expectations

Yesterday, I talked to someone in Cube City who was really frustrated with things. He's worked in this one-horse town for longer than I have, but you'd never know it because he still has hope that things will change.

I think his optimism is cute.

I tried to explain to him that the only way to survive in Cube City is to have no expectations. He has too much fire and passion to entertain that advice. I'm not sure what's worse about expectations: having them, or realizing that they are an act of futility.
