A Reason to Smile

Today, while hunched at my desk, my dull gaze was caught by a flash from my phone. I considered ignoring it and continuing practicing my dull, but was eventually overcome by a wayward remnant of innate human curiosity. What I found helped me smile, so I will share.

Text1: There I was. Sitting in Chicago. Enjoying a salad. Then I realized I had missed my plane.

Time passed while I considered this and decided a mild giggle was in order. Then, while working myself up to giggle, another message arrived.

Text2: My goodness, I`m developing a serious alcohol dependency.

I did in fact break into a quiet giggle after reading this. Wages of sin..? No, just the effects of our protracted struggle against the crushing momentum of our profession. Onwards and upwards.
