Someone is explaining the plot of Soylent Green (the movie) in detail, which is something I already find very annoying, but he’s describing it as if this was a brand new movie. If anyone doesn’t know, Soylent Green is people.  For the most part, I am also not interested in hearing about anyone’s vacation. If their answer to “how was your vacation?” is more than two sentences, I will tune out and/or get progressively more annoyed.

I am starving and the thought of the Lean Cuisine I have stashed in the freezer makes me vaguely nauseated. So I’m eating mini-Snickers bars, even though I HATE Snickers even more than most candy (I don’t like 99% of candy) because it is the only thing left in the bowl of candy on my neighbor’s desk. Do you know what I hate? After Halloween, it is common in work places, for people to bring in their leftover candy. At the Job-That-Wasn’t, my desk was surrounded by a counter and was in a highly trafficked area. So, the candy was placed here. All day long people would stop by my desk and be like “Oh, candy! Oh, I shouldn’t take any! It’s so bad for me. But this is so tempting! How do you sit here all day with the candy here?!”

And I’d want to say “Shut the hell up, just take the candy (because they always did) and go away.” And sometimes, after continuous pestering about how I managed to avoid the temptation of the candy, I would reveal that I don’t like chocolate, and their response would be all handwringing, like ‘OMG, YOU DON’T LIKE CHOCOLATE?!?!? REALLY??????”

I am on hold with the DMV. My approximate wait time is 17 minutes.

I have given up on hearing from the Libertarian fellowship; advice is in favor of not emailing until the end of this week.
