Oh, man, this Cracked.com article is fantastic. [link] And under the snark, really thoughtful and serious about the misrepresentation of what it takes to actually do the kind of work the shows depict.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hee. From the article:
"The first lesson TV supergeniuses have drilled into audiences is that it's possible to acquire absolute mastery in multiple fields while still young enough to be attractive to the 18-35 demographic. A few of them are Australian enough to be attractive to every demographic."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, Lisah. I hope there is no third, and that things work out for your friends.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Ugh. I was just telling the receptionist that I haven't had any problems with my food making a reappearance for a few weeks now, and then I ate the Egg Beater omelet that the cafeteria made me. Or rather, I tried to eat it. Just got back from the bathroom, and I feel much better now. They use waaaay too much oil on the griddle and put waaaaay too much cheese on the omelet, and my stomach no likey.

Just moved cubicles. Wheee? At first they had me going into, what I consider, a bad luck cubicle. Last two people in that cube were fired/placed on mental leave. No thank you. Now I'm all moved into a different cube. It is going to take a while to get used to the new place.
We had to move because our old space is needed for storage. wtf?!?!?
