.... and therefore reaching desperately for something to say that is out there beyond the office walls...
How about this bit of trivial news I was just reading about? -- Two daytime TV soap operas, All My Children and One Life to Live, are being cancelled after more than 40 years on the air. I've never been into any daytime soap (unless you count Dark Shadows back in the early '70s!), but it's kind of sad to see the soap era end. There will be four soap operas left when there used to be 19, but ratings are down, and, more importantly to network honchos, the average age of the viewers is 57 -- not a good demographic for sponsors, apparently. The really sad part of any of this is wondering what people are watching instead. Dr. Phil!?!

What about all those actors who have been with the shows all these years. They are (or will be) out of work actors looking for work again after 40 years!
