What If

I spent most of the day thinking of things that never had a chance of happening, then I thought of decisions I would have to make if those things happened. For example, I wondered what I would do if I won the lottery. Then I thought about what I would do with the money, then how fast I would quit my job. Then I wondered how I would leave. Would I treat my fellow cubicle dwellers? I would look cheap if I didn't, but what was appropriate. Something proportional to the payout? But I didn't want to do too much work to set up something, which is the whole reason to having money--not working.

In the end, I decided it might be better to forget the hassle and forgo lottery fantasies. The money wasn't worth it. Then I wondered how stupid I was to let something like that to get in the way of a multi-million dollar jackpot.
