Lately, I've had less and less activity at the office and that is really depressing. Although the 9 to 5 daily tasks aren't as many, I still have to punch in and read my emails.
So, unlike previous months, I've had some time to read the press, the funnies, catch up on Fashion Week, and so on. When almost all FW related topics were gone, I unfortunately had to turn to a much, much lighter reading - the tabloids.
Since I receive a series of articles in my FB newsfeed from a certain on-line tabloid - something local, all articles are in Romanian, and mostly on local so-called celebrities - I sometimes open the newsletter and read the headlines.
Today, one particular column caught my eye. It was meant to stand for "the confessions of a mistress", although I doubt that the columnist was actually "the other woman". The structure of the article was awful, it reminded me of the darker days of press in our country, when lower-class drama sold like crazy and I saw a lot of publications on the topic.
Anyway, the topic was day-time-drama-ish, the insight received from the writer - even worse. But what is even more sad is that all such articles receive FB or on-site comments. Some people take the time to read and identify themselves with the characters. Those opinionated comments are the worst.
Like - let's see the topic above - "the other woman". Needles to say all commenters were women and they were separated into two sides : the wife and the mistress. And you could easily see which was which. And they were very passionate about their comment, God forbid you should think otherwise.
All this while the much-anticipated new financial crisis is already here and we didn't even see it coming.
It's not our fault, the soap-operas were on at the time, and we were kinda' busy...
