At work:

Boss Type Guy: So what are you reading now?
Me: :::Reading at the Reg. desk, which is completely allowed. Provided there's not...you know patrons to help. Or important stuff to do.::: This week I'm reading Olesha's Envy.
BTG: Really? Never heard of it.
Me: Neither have I.
BTG: I'm glad you're around to read obscure Russian authors. Someone has to.

So this is what it boils down to: my life right now is currently dedicated to studying a needless little puddle of literature. But...that's okay. I think.

I know, it's only rock n' roll, but I like it...
