IN: It 's a new week and I refuse to let the events of last week continue to depress me . I ' m still waiting to hear from the other interview , but decided if I do n't get the job it was n't meant for me . Yesterday I got together with my mom for my birthday .
What might have happened before this week .

OUT: I had a failed career meeting .

IN: So we had everyone over to enjoy it with us . I wanted to show people my new tattoos , but it 's so hard to get a word in edgewise with everyone around ! Cindy talks a mile a minute , and has to butt in with some " witty " or " informative " remark , usually about Safeway 's customer service where she 's working now apparently . Karen 's not as bad as Cindy , but she still does talk a lot , and when she 's not the kids are ( and even when she is talking . Which makes me wonder , was I ever like that at parties or get - togethers when I was a kid ? ) .
What may be true about Cindy ?

OUT: She makes sarcastic quips .

IN: He had been sitting in the car for a while waiting for us and listening to the radio . When he went to start his car the battery was dead . So we decided to take my car over there instead . I always hate having to park the car somewhere because then I have to worry is someone going to notice it or is it going to get towed or whatever .
What caused the car battery to be dead ?

OUT:
He listened to the radio while the car was turned off and this caused the battery to die .
