#$@!^%$!! WT!…OMG! &^$@!)(!!!!!…rapid breathing
That’s what happens to me at work when I’m writing and someone pages over the LOUDspeaker. IT’S VERY LOUD!
I’ve learned, while I’m writing, to tune out talking, laughter, phones ringing, tapes playing in edit bays, people singing and yelling, scanners, monitors, cell phone conversations and the general urgency of a newsroom.Â
But the pages get me everytime.
Same thing in the grocery store. One second, you’re calmly reading the ingredients on the lighter version of Gatorade. The next,
“SHOPPERS, WE HAVE…!”Â
@!~&%$$#*&$#! AHHHHH! HEART ATTACK ON AISLE 6!Â
Why can’t we have a government study on the adverse health affects of being scared to death several times a day, instead of a study that shows smoking is bad for you or exercise makes you more fit.

Boyfriend, maybe you should be sweating like Mel does when she gets scared.
I meant when I USED to vacuum when the vacuum cleaner worked. That was before you made that comment. Now though, as soon as you fix the v.c., you can come over and vacuum. Deal. Or no deal?

You’re right Sher about tuning everything out while you’re writing a story.
I stood right next to you today at your desk and screamed in your ear and you never looked up. I thought I died and became a spirit that was invisible until I realized the entire newsroom turned to look at me in anger and yet you never looked up at me.

She was probably emailing the boyfriend.
