Long dark teatime of the soul

Dane: (flops down in the couch with a hopeless sigh)

Me: Hey, you.

Dane: Hey.

Me (brightly, then not): Everything's going to be . . . alright.

Me: I mean, there's going to be lots of completely brilliant stuff . . . mixed in with . . . the shit.

Me: The average is going to be . . . ok.

Dane: You really shouldn't quit research to become a motivational speaker.

Me:  That didn't make you feel better?

Ha!
Ha Ha Ha!
I disagree with Nate...that was way more motivational than the uber-happy cheerleader blowing rainbows and riding a unicorn.

It's all good.
