Sorry, I didn't see this.

I used to live in Sioux Falls, SD. I am not a Heartland, wide open space kinda gal. Though I'm beginning to wonder, as I get older, if I am beginning to be. (I know you're kidding, of course.) I'm not a fair weather friend or a keep up with the Jones' kind a person, though, no. I was out with coworkers at one of my favorite places downtown last night because it was my and the other orientee's last orientation shift, and the conversation quickly became boring to me, because it was all work gossip. Like, I realized I was incredibly out of the loop (some of the people they were talking about, I don't even know because they're too new, and also because I'm not nosy), and I really didn't care that I was out of the loop. I mean, I tried to keep up with the conversation for a second but I realized I was saying, "What?" and "Who?" so much that I was getting annoying, and I didn't care enough to even try. There was a time in my life that I would have eaten that gossip up, but last night I just sat quietly, ate my dinner, and drank my yummy drink that someone bought me. And then I went home, came online, and chatted with all of you.

PS, you aren't a loser, either.
