No, I am not happy. I work for www.inq7.net and I am surrounded by television sets, editorial staff, the latest newsbreaks, and severe paranoia. I hear about SARS, deadly pneumonia, and I immediately link it to the words “bioterrorism” and “airborne”. Smoking breaks are not a relief, because all everyone talks about is war, news, war, news, war, viruses, news, news, terror alerts, news. The word “theory” is married to the word “conspiracy” in my vocabulary. My boyfriend is in Jordan, which is practically next to Iraq, which is run by Saddam, which is preparing for war with USA, which is run by Fonzy-lookalike-make-no-mistake guy. The rates are skyrocketing to 55.099 pesos to a dollar. The Philippine economy will and is dropping because OFWs will cease services overseas and the gas rates are rising as I type this and everything will rise and we are all going to be paranoid sooner or later.
So no, I am not happy. If you’ll excuse me, there are more news to upload.
