I was listening to my wife tell me a story from her working day, as one does, and I realised that she didn't expect me to be fascinated by it and I wasn't gripped by it. People fill the air with noise that have no other meaning than to make it seem like you are communicating. I had my morning wash as my wife ( and not slagging her off), told me about some pallets not being delivered by her work. A voice in my head interrupted. " I wonder what happens at the end.(Sarcastic voice went as follows) What will become of the undelivered pallets? Will they arrive today and if so will the customer be ok with that? I do hope she tells me the rest of the story and doesn't keep me hanging on.
I know I'm being a bit of a prick but it made me smile as I heard the voice. I don't talk about work cos I know nobody would care but other people don't seem to have that cut off. I hear them say "oh I had pizza last night for tea, lovely" I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.
I'm rubbish at conversation because I don't think I have anything interesting to say. I see the bored look on peoples faces as I talk about films but I struggle otherwise.
