C Northcraft said it well

well see Northcraft  he said it like this:

when a messenger realizes he's in possession of some over paid lawyers acknowledgement prize for a job well done, he wonders about his own self worth. where are his shiny trophies, his tokens of praise, and accolades for putting his neck on the line day in and day out in the service of the highly payed, highly praised legal counsel sitting in there high rise offices, sipping cappuccinos discussing there upcoming vacations to aruba. as he sits in the sun drinking a beer eating teriyaki he realizes where is prize is. his gold star is in moments like this. moments of freedom in the work day, moments to reflect and relax, moments to enjoy time with friends and pontificate about the bullshit of the rat race playing out all around him. most of all he realizes that his true reward is getting payed to do something he loves, riding his bicycle.

nah. Jace was delivering a few of these engraved chunks of glass to attorneys around town. But I did see DayLabor at STIFF last night, and it was very well done.

Hey Jace, my mom still kind of thinks you won a trophy for something, some kind of legal messenger thing, as if they award messengers with glass things like that to display on your desk for recognition. I'm still explaining to her that you're just the messenger and it's better to hold the trophy briefly just to pose for pictures under the Japanese roadmaster Maple.
