Oh, poor baby, David says he sometimes hates "working" for a living. Give me a break; the people in Genoa City "work" like the people in Emerald City "work." That is to say, they get up at 12 and start to work at 1; they take an hour for lunch and then at 2 they're done. Jolly good fun! Okay, to be more precise, they get up whenever the hell they feel like it, they spend hours lounging around the coffee shop and/or the athletic club, and before you know it, it's lunch time. They sometimes put in a brief appearance at the office for a "meeting," or, more often than not, to discuss personal business, and then find themselves back at the athletic club for dinner. If that's working for a living, somebody tell me where I can sign up.

If they can fire Gloria for never showing up at work and presenting one bad idea, then half the town should be unemployed. She was only following Genoa City work ethic protocol, after all. I can't remember the last time I ever saw Lauren at work, aside from that ridiculous appearance she made at the Newman Ranch with a rack of designer gowns for Sabrina. Meanwhile there's an entire chain of department stores, not to mention the Boutique we used to see so much of, floundering because Lauren spends all her time working on ever progressing ugly new hairstyles and consoling her mother in law.

Then there's Lily who allegedly works as a "model." Apparently "models" spend their time swooning over their boyfriends and begging them for sex even after they miscarry. And I've had about enough of half the town telling Lily how much she reminds them of her mother. Lily is about as much like Drucilla as I am, and I'm a 44 year old white man. I think I can pull off "Drucilla's daughter" better than she can.

Boy, Heather sure went from a button down, all work and no play kind of woman to insta-slut in about ten seconds didn't she? Like father like daughter, I guess. Before you know it she'll be spewing out children across the country she has no relationship with. But I don't see how any man can get past that horribly distracting mole on her upper lip. Personally it's the only thing I'd be able to focus on, and the mere thought of kissing it sends shivers down my spine.

Face it, the show has gotten so boring I've resorted to obsessing over the few remaining sets they use. Take Phyllis and Nick's house for example. It used to be a wooden shack where Cole lived with a hot plate. Now it's some kind of upscale town house like something you'd see in on HGTV. Ironically there's some sort of fake big barn door against the back wall that was never a fixture of the tack house when it was actually a tack house. If they turned it into a real house I wouldn't expect them to stable a horse in there. Phyllis notwithstanding.

Meanwhile over at the gym, Paul and JT trade barbs about David Chow after a quickie workout with weights. They then repair to a table where there's great big jar of green goo awaiting them. I can only imagine the set designers are playing fast and loose with the props and had no idea where the big jar of green goo was supposed to go after they struck the Jabot lab set.

I don't know about you, but I refuse to work out anywhere unless there's a great big jar of green goo awaiting me. And I don't even want to think about what that means.
