a hard or soft option

the finance industry is really just the terminal form of consumer culture, where your cache is determined solely by how much money you have to throw at brand-name trend items. It's one of the two reasons I keep looping West End Girls; if, when, where, what. I'm not detached from it in any way - total sucker here for the moneyceleb circus, at least within in the 9-5 coma where I am getting paid. But what I've not yet shaken off is that guilty feeling regarding relationship-forming. I still get flashes of pain whenever someone is nice to me on the phone, especially if they're one of the rare ones who're chasing something other than money.
