12.
“Even when I needed to go, my schedule would not enable it.”
“4:00: Wallow in self-pity.
4:30: Stare into the abyss.
5:00: Resolve world starvation. Inform nobody.
5:30: Jazzercise.
6:30: Dinner with me. I am unable to cancel that once more.
7:30: Wrestle with my self-loathing.
I am booked!
After all, if I bumped the loathing to 9:00, I may nonetheless be carried out in time to put in mattress, stare on the ceiling, and slip slowly into insanity.”
—The Grinch
