bad day solution #267

run into your only school friend at the gym after a really shitty day. find out she's also had a really shitty day. say well, mine was shitter - i cried in the car on the way over here. she says, well i cried in front of everyone at work. she wins. you high-five over both having cried thanks to the wonderful folks at school. then you make fun of a classmate running nearby on the treadmill. then you proceed to lambast another classmate, and his mom and future kin, meanwhile cranking out an extra 20 min on your cardio workout, until all hateful epithets have been used and silence ensues. then you discuss your sunday hangovers and have a too-loud conversation about blow jobs that makes a miami vice lookalike with B.O. move to a bike further away from you both.

then, during your endorphin-high drive home, new and improved with less traffic at 7 pm, you sing along to the smiths, johnny cash, and cream at the top of your lungs.

i feel better.
