    I’m tempted to say “no” to the first half, then “Yes, plenty” to the second half, on the basis that I’m good at faking it.

    I travel a lot for a living, so there are a lot of idle hours in hotel bars and airplanes, ripe for idle chitchat with random strangers, so I decided to start practicing my social skills, because they sure as hell need some exercise. What do I care, I’m never gonna meet them again anyway.

    b) Idle chitchat is easy after a few tries. I don’t think I’m fak8ng it anymore.
