Contemplation Time

                         If I committed suicide, would you miss me?
                                          No.
                                        Oh...
                                    What?  What's wrong?
                                Well, I guess I wasn't expecting it to sound so harsh.
                              Well you asked.  Why?  You thinking about joining up?
                                 ... yeah ... I've been thinking about it, lately...
                                         Best decision I ever made.
                                          That's cool.
                                       Well, the second.
                                         That's cool.
 But yeah, definitely, if you need a reference or anything, or ideas, let me know.
                                        Okay, thanks.
                                   But back to your question...
                                           Yeah?
                         Yeah, will anyone miss you?  I mean, would you care?
                Well ... I wouldn't care.  But there's a lot of people who depend on me.
                                      Oh yeah?
                           Yeah, like they couldn't even start their day without me.
                                         Really?
            Yeah, you know, like, for their coffee or whatever... breakfast sandwiches.
                             Will they be able to find breakfast after you're gone?
   ... That's a good question.  To be honest, I would have to say Yes.  Most of them.
                                     But they'll still miss you.
        Well, yeah I guess, I mean, every day I say, "would you like cream and sugar?"
                                     Sure.  I understand.
Or, "I'm sorry ma'am, we're out of Equal (TM) right now.  Would you like to try Splenda (TM)?"
                               Right, definitely, that's important.
                                 Yeah, yeah... I'm important.  I matter.
                                          Sure.
                                    Yeah, that's right.  I matter...
                       Maybe you should wait till lunchtime before you kill yourself.
