Um... the woman at work is telling someone else how she now needs size 0 jeans!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The same woman who was telling you she's a 20? Is her notion of "size" something that you pick out of a hat and write on with a Sharpie?

No.... this is another woman at the start of the conversation! I work with a whole bunch of size obsessed people, right next to a "Nutrition and Weight Management Center."

Oh, phew -- obnoxious and size-obsessed is one thing, but wildly delusional is a scarier thing to have to deal with at work.

I was just surfing for restaurant suggestions for a Chicago-ista/MFNLaw get-together on Sunday, and have now made myself really hungry for everything from Swedish pancakes to barbecue to Persian stews.
And all I have here is chicken salad--feh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Slight debate we're having at work: Is a doctor an entrepreneur? I say yes, because she has her own office, staff, etc. Coworker doesn't get it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's nothing intrinsic in doctor that makes them an entrepreneur--some are and some aren't.

Is a doctor an entrepreneur?
I'd agree with the co-worker, and note that it sounds like we've got different definitions of "entrepreneur" -- what you're describing, to me, is "small business owner", which isn't in any doubt. "Entrepreneur" connotes something more like innovation, new ventures, and the like.
