Bleak

It's hard to ignore the negativity at work. I keep my head down and do what I have to, avoiding piling onto the anti-corporate drivel that streams endlessly from most of my coworkers.
The problem is, you still hear it even if you try to ignore it. I have begun to see the topics of their complaints scooch their way into my work day as if I were the frog and they are pointing out to me how warm the pan is getting.
It's making me uncomfortable with the environment.

The train is making weird noises as though the brakes are broken. That would be great if we were careening out of control down the tracks. Weee! A+++ would ride again.
