The problem with oatmeal.....

Have you ever met a person that comes across as bland, tasteless, lacks flavour - in other words, blah? It doesn't matter how much energy or pizazz you put into the conversation, the person is about as exciting as a bowl of lukewarm mushy oatmeal.....The person is nice enough - might even start the conversation - but the flow just doesn't exist. You find yourself floundering, grasping at straws to keep the conversation a float - but why? Why should you be the trained monkey excerting energy for pennies? Just smile, nod, respond and make an excuse to exit the lack-luster chat. The upside of oatmeal? Makes you appreciate the brunch buffets all the more.....
