Sometimes, at work, doing my professional day job, I send out emails just like this:<\/p>\n
\nAll good except that you need to [fix some stuff].<\/p>\n
So I guess it\u2019s not \u2018all\u2019 good, truly. Which makes me wonder why I even used that turn of phrase. Now I\u2019m questioning my life\u2019s choices and this, for some reason, makes me want to go and read some Ayn Rand. I\u2019ve never read anything by her, even though it\u2019s come highly recommend on several occasions from different sources. Anything suggested by another person as, \u201cYou must read this, it changed my life,\u201d just makes me think about how disappointed I was in Catcher in the Rye when all I got out of it is that the protagonist is a spoiled trust fund yuppie kid who thinks it\u2019s cool to slum with the underprivileged when it suits him and that such people who think that book is transformative have never had to grow up in a trailer park or live on welfare or struggle to accomplish something in their lives and would kill to have the opportunities that Holden Caulfield pissed away. None of this is really relevant to the matter at hand so I guess I am as good as or even a better author than Mr. J.D. Salinger.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
