Paint

– Back to work tomorrow. Holidays never seem to last very long, compared to the months of backbreaking toil in between.
– You work in an office.
– And?
– It's hardly backbreaking.
– It can get uncomfortable sitting down all day.
– Try standing. Get one of those desks where you have to stand. Basically, a desk with long legs. Or just shove a couple of bricks under the one you've got.
– You're not being very sympathetic. As I was saying, holidays never seem to last very long.
– You didn't seem to do much with it. Barely left the house.
– It was raining quite a lot last week. And, anyway, I was painting the bathroom. That's why I was in most days.
– The bathroom doesn't look any different.
– Granted it's a similar pale blue, but I think you will find it's a shade lighter. And besides, you can't see the cracks any more.
– I thought the cracks added character. And ventilation.
– I was never that attached to them.
