- You find yourself balancing on one leg (the weaker one) while waiting for the train. You are hoping to improve your balance, strengthen your ankle, tighten the musculature on that leg. You experiment with the raised leg touching your body, then not touching your body, then held a bit in front of your body, then to the side and to the back. You carefully do not meet the glance of other riders but focus on a fixed point (a stain on a wall). You vow to do this every time you wait for a train.
- You become very impatient with those (a husband) who need more sleep than you. If he (the husband) complains that the two of you went to bed at 1 a.m. and it is now just 6:30, you tell him that the only way he’ll get to bed at a reasonable hour is to get up earlier. Then, determined to be sympathetic (it’s part of being a “nice” person), you tell him, fine, go back to sleep, but you continue to talk to him the whole time you are drinking your bed tea.
- When you get bored at the office, you check the stock market, telling yourself that this is somehow puts you in sync with the world of commerce, though it only leaves you depressed and confused, both about the stocks you’ve bought and the stocks you did not buy, the stocks you’ve sold and the ones you did not sell.
- Depressed and confused, you begin, in your breaks from work, to check up on Robert Pattinson instead of stocks. You justify this on the grounds that you are planning to write a novel based on how the paparazzi are harassing him. This gives you license to go to all the paparazzi websites, calling it “research”.
- You increasingly talk on the phone when you walk or stare down into your blackberry. You tell yourself that this is multi-tasking, killing two birds with one stone. You try not to think about the fact that while you are talking or looking at your blackberry, you do not see either birds or stones.
