Jim Carey, BRUCE ALMIGHTY
It rained more today than an English winter. I also worked 5am till 2pm which definitely wasn't fun. There was a slight break in the rain just as it was getting dark so I wandered down to the rivulet and took some snaps.
There were two women who walked out of the back of some shitty-ass office complex as I was taking a few shots and they were laughing to themselves as one of them yelled out "hey get a life!"
I stood up abruptly and turned around already snarling. It'd been a bad day and I really wasn't in the mood to have some middle-aged leathery skinned nobodies talk shit on me. I don't think they expected me to challenge them back but I immediately walked towards them, face twisted and snarling. I wasn't very happy. I can't remember exactly what I said but I know what was going through my mind.
Get a life? A life like theirs? Five days a week, nine to five sitting in an office cubicle? I bet you have a lot planned for tonight. Busting to find out what happens to Roger and Marla in Home and Away. I hear Marla's in trouble with her dad this week! It's just constant excitement for you isn't it? Never once venturing out of your comfort zone. Badly dressed. Badly groomed. The epitome of mediocrity. I'm willing to bet neither of you even have an interest or ambition in life beyond work and the daily ritual of coming home to your shitty house in your showroom car, neither of which you own, and probably never will. Fuck you.
Fuck nine to five.
There's so much more to life.
Sorry. Wrong meeting.
