Reykjavik Dreaming

(We are having a conversation in the break room.)

Coworker #1: “Yeah, I just feel like I’m totally worthless here. It’s like I’m nothing.”

Coworker #2: *loudly* “I, too, feel worthless, but someday, I shall ascend from the ashes of worthlessness and be a somebody! No longer will I bow before corporate greed and inequality! Someday, I will be filthy rich and tell this place to kiss my a**!”

(The whole room cheers and claps.)

Coworker #2: “And then, I’ll move to England and marry a sexy Icelandic model!”

Coworker #1: “Why England?”

Me: “You lost me at ‘sexy, Icelandic model.'”

Coworker #2: “What? Icelanders can visit England, too!”
