Write The Change You Want To See In The World

There is a picture I look at when I am feeling generally useless, or terrible, or unmotivated, or despairing, wishing that I had depth perception so I could be a truck driver or you know, any sort of mathematical ability so I could be an accountant.

That ad is ridiculous, but the commenter who says s/he looked at it and saw the cast of a heist story makes things enormously better!

Chewitel Ejiofor would play Chief Inspector Knightley, who is in pursuit of the gang. Paterson Joseph would play his father, minor country nobility and receiver of stolen art. Mitchell would get them all into deeper trouble than was intended by lunging for the teller's jugular and only being restrained by Merlin's quick-thinking activation of the security shutters ...

Hee, that was actually me. It was the only response I could think of after I got over my overwhelming fury.
