Especially unexpected change, unless we're talking about winning the lottery or the PCH sweepstakes. Job loss is the biggest fear most people deal with. I suppose more than that, I fear that something will change in regards to my work that really makes me hate getting up every morning to go to work. I may be in a rut of sorts, but it is a comfortable, often enjoyable, well-paying rut that I don't mind going round in.

I'm right behind you on the subway, getting my shit stuck in the doors, too, distracted by a nasty cold and my own thoughts. I was thinking of my car, my gas budget the other day, and how I get gas exactly twice a month. Because the car goes the same places every week. Every day. Even when we take a trip out of town, not counting those two extra gas expenditures that trip, the rest of it falls, like clockwork. Start of the month. Middle-end of the month. My car has run a groove between work. School. Gym. Routine. Routine. Routine. And as much as we say we hate routine, isn't the thought of changing it scary sometimes? Or is that just me?
