Am I terrible for thinking of Faye Dunaway's character in Network?
I'm thinking of Diane Wiest's in Bullets Over Broadway.
Yeah... That went well.

In people I didn't kill today news, I was at the gym doing a post workout yoga video on my cellphone with earbuds clearly in when a woman starts talking to me, wants to know what my disability is and claims she knows of a new therapy that will cure all my pain. Seriously wtf is wrong with people? I have a hard enough time making myself go to the gym.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, my disability is that assholes come up to me in public places and stick their noses in my business. It's a real burden.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
and claims she knows of a new therapy that will cure all my pain.
Smiling sweetly: "Oh! Is it the new therapy where you personally shut your personal cakehole and go away and never speak to me again? I've heard the pain relief is instantaneous!"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm having a brain fart--what's the term for dialogue in a show which only exists to give facts to the audience? It starts with an E, but for the life of me, I can't remember. Never mind--it's exposition.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had a thing I thought was due today, and I was prepared to buckle down and get it done, but a) it wasn't actually due until Monday, and b) it's delayed anyway. So now my motivation has vanished.

I suck at coming up with a witty response in the moment. I just become super polite in the hopes the person will go away faster.
A thing I actually do like about my gym, it has 3 TVs but so far none of them have ever been on Fox News. On Wednesday the personal trainer was showing me how to use the equipment and then she added that I could watch TV if I wanted. I looked up, saw that the idiot president was on the screen, and replied "no thanks". The personal trainer laughed and said, "Well if you want to see how high you can raise your heart rate..."

I love finding out that I am required to do daily reports that my counterparts in other locations do not have to do.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
It is disappointing when chocolate doesn't taste as good as you expected it to.
sara, I'm so glad you were able to do this trip. Maybe this means that you'll be spending some more time in Las Cruces for the foreseeable future, but the time spent with them is worth it.
sj, I hate people like that. I'm sorry you have to deal with this over and over.
Do not piss off The Nicest, boss. It won't be pretty and you'll get a "bless your heart" that will strip the skin off of an armadillo.
