Words of One Syllable Dept.

gapingvoid: Lying

You lie for a living.

You’re not a bad person, not really, but telling the truth at your current company tends to get people fired.

And you can’t afford to be fired. You’re thirty seven, you’ve got three kids, your wife would leave you within nanoseconds if the cashflow ever dried up, and it’s been well over over a decade since a cute, random girl in the street looked at you with anything even faintly resembling lust.
