12.
“Even if I wanted to go, my schedule wouldn’t allow it.”
“4:00: Wallow in self-pity.
4:30: Stare into the abyss.
5:00: Solve world hunger. Tell no one.
5:30: Jazzercise.
6:30: Dinner with me. I can’t cancel that again.
7:30: Wrestle with my self-loathing.
I’m booked!
Of course, if I bumped the loathing to 9:00, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling, and slip slowly into madness.”
—The Grinch
