Met a friend's girlfriend... some topics of conversation, her responses, and some side commentary:
- 80's new wave music, "New wave music is so not new any more. It died in the 80's. But it's coming back so it's new again now." [umm... yeah... way to be decisive...]
- Sun In, "It's not the peroxide in Sun In that smells." [... is there anything else in Sun In...]
- Fanny packs, "Fanny packs are back in. It's hip to wear fanny packs now. Just wait and you'll see them around again." [... did she just use the words hip and fanny pack in the same sentence...]
- Quitting smoking, "Well, you haven't smoked a cigarette in over a week so that's really good. You just need to be able to do it for 17 days. If you can do anything for 17 days then you can do it for the rest of your life." [... where do I even begin on this one... we have just found the cure for addiction, just make people stop for 17 days, because they will never relapse. No more worries about the obesity epidemic, because if people can just be active for 17 days, they'll be active for the rest of their lives. Babe, you don't have to worry about breaking up, we've been dating for more than 17 days, so clearly we're going to last forever!]

I saw the writing on the wall as an addictions / psych nurse and got out of the field entirely. I knew it would only be a matter of time that I'd be out of a job, anyway, b/c insurance companies would just approve rehab for 17 days and the client would be forever cured.
