While my mind is detached from who I think I am, I think of my former self, my work self. I had a title that defined me but it never fit into the "Occupation" category. This troubled me quite a bit. Although I enjoyed the independence from the sanctioned occupational standards I also wondered what I was. Who was this titled person? What were my traits? How did my work identity correspond to who I really was. I just didn't get it and it didn't feel right. But it occupied often times more than forty hours a week of my time. This seemed like quite a lot of time. My 'free' time I spent going to movies, cleaning the house, eating dinner with friends. But I still didn't know what/who I was. As Dupree said, I didn't know my 'ness.' I think my Debness is under consideration. I think this is what is occupying my mind right now and the separate skin I feel is the pod exterior waiting to come off. I can feel it coming but my Debness just isn't here yet.
