“How’s it going?” I’m at work. You’re at work. Both of us can name five places we’d rather be without a second thought. The fuck you think it’s going? Same as you, so let’s quit lying to ourselves.

Ironically, the best way to answer a Christian (or, I suppose, any member of any Abrahamic religion), works here. “He woke me up today,” and they say something like “yeah any day above ground is a blessing”. Like yeah, that is literally the best thing I can say about my day. I woke up. I had coffee. Good coffee. I had a good breakfast. I am “blessed” in the kitchen. That was the best part of my day. THEN I CAME HERE.
