Why I MIGHT never get promoted

So in order to be promoted ( eventually) ie, (no such hopes on the horizon for now) i should perhaps work?
seems reasonable?
ok. so today i get in early after a mighty struggle with that whole waking up thing, have coffee which i am usualy not too fond of and sit there,glum and staring at alex;s doughnut without realising till, he, uncomfortable offered it to me!
i have no story, no ideas and no inspiration and so he said let us head out and find some.
yeah like they are just wandering about, ready to fall into our eager hands. obviously my pessimism dint do much good cos soon we were at Second cup, drinking more cups.
All we saw for inspiration was a couple who looked like they were breaking up and being as jobless as we were, we tried to understand their "psyche", as he puts it. I am just in for the ride.
anyway. To make things worse, he declares, that it looks like "its her fault"
am like "why would you even say that! :
he says: just watch her? see how "nonchalant" she is.
To my eyes, she was playing with the ring on her finger, pulling it back and forth and looking away to a view that was pretty much, nothing, just the plain old mountains, and to me it looked like she was trying hard not to cry or maybe let it show.
if that is nonchalant, fine. we have a new definition.
of course these are all vague assumptions that two silly kids with no story are making.
for all you know maybe he is her vet and telling her, her dog is about to die.
anyway i shut Alex up with " so from your too much acne its obviously plenty clear that you dont wash your face enough"
that did it for a while.
