Ish

I talked to a coworker by IM last week. She asked how I was, and I said I was “OKish.” She replied, “Same.” And I thought to myself, “Wow. How sad is it that neither of us can even commit to a neutral term at this point.” Neither of us asked why the other was “ish,” either. I think we just accept that nobody is happy with the way things are now. The details are almost irrelevant, and nobody wants to dwell.
