Have I mentioned before that the office next to mine is inhabited by a woman who has a) an extremely loud and carrying voice and b) a life of ongoing crises seemingly plucked straight out of "Oprah"?

She's forty but seems to be dealing with issues most of us have got past by about seventeen or so. Or rather, she's dealing with issues that confront the average forty year old - marriage, kids, career, life goals - the way a seventeen year old would. And with the results that you'd imagine.

At first I was just annoyed at the distraction. Now I'm filled more with a combination of pity and horror, pity that she should be having these problems and horror that she apparently doesn't even understand her own immaturity is at their root. How can somebody live like that?

Of course, I'm still annoyed, too.

1 It never ceases to amaze me how some can just flit through life with seeming ease while I sweat every second. NOT fair. I suppose it's a good time to be glad that it's not YOU that's the next episode of Okra, huh?
