Variation

Sheena had long ago gotten tired of doing the same thing year on year, having the same conversations, talking the same nonsense talk to the same people who were content on letting the nonsense continue.
How was it that her friends allowed themselves to run the exact same scenarios, gaining the exact same results? It was madness, surely they could see that. The main culprit was Susan. She promised herself several years running to eat properly, stop smoking, use her gym membership for more than a sauna and quit chasing the same guy who was now married and expecting his first child. Susan was the worst kind of friend to have, a friend that didn't listen to sense or apply the common kind every now and then.
The office was buzzing. No diet coke breaks in the foreseeable. Work piled onto Sheena's desk in a way that made her want to swan dive out the window.
