No job makes you feel more needed than being the projectionist for a movie theatre on a weeknight. Just try wasting all of that electricity for nobody and see how it makes you sleep at night.
Facebook is an incredibly bizarre thing. Any number of people will comment on the stupidest and most useless things... as long as they're short. If something gets above 200 characters, no matter how important it is it will not be read. It could be a suicide note or a last will and testament, but nobody would read it.*
* This last thought actually gave me an idea for a story about a group of friends who are tagged in a suicide note on facebook, but none of them try and stop the guy because they don't read the note because it's too long. And then the story would backtrack over the person's life JUST before the suicide and show how no one actually cares about him. Real upper.
I feel like in the next couple weeks something really great and amazing has to happen so we all leave on a really stellar note. Because right now, everything feels really sad.
