End of a Century

Back to references rather than literal titles again. Credit to Blur this time.
Milestones come in all forms, the easiest to acknowledge are numerical ones. A few days ago I made my retrieval “ton”. It didn’t seem so long ago that I was doing my first few and it all seemed very exciting. Now, after over a year of doing these jobs, I realise that a great deal are very run-of-the-mill. The novelty has definitely worn off and I’m after the more thrilling stuff. Unfortunately the nature of the job isn’t like that and I’m going to have tolerate the boring jobs while waiting for the juicy ones to come along.
If nothing else, doing the boring jobs restricts jaunting round the state. I’ve been to Modbury rather too many times and there are still lots of towns out in the country I’ve not been to yet. Hopefully if I keep doing this job long enough, I’ll eventually see them all …. and that will be another milestone!
