Observations: Linguistic, and otherwise

This is the last of my complaints for the day, since I'm home now. But on the train I was reminded of how people's speech has changed. I don't know for how long now, and I don't know if it's a "hipster" thing, or just a young thing, or what, but people elongate their vowels. "It waas niiiiiice. I don't knooooow, I took a naaaaap. yeaaaaah. whateveeerrrr." It's like a horrible blend of sarcasm and apathy. 'Oo, we can't get excited about anything; that would be laaaaame.' The other observation: If working is the responsible thing to do in life, then why are people who do it such morons? If it's responsible and successful, shouldn't its participants be intelligent, likable, successful? Also, it's amazing how negative work makes me!! (although, in my defense, this is a horribly boring job.)
