Oh, you think your life is tough? Maybe it is. But it's nothing compared with the challenges faced by Times Feed Me columnist Alex Witchel, also known as Mrs. Frank Rich. Today she reveals the exquisite misery of attending a charity dinner with mediocre food, being seated next to an unnamed Hollywood Big School, and, when the entrees arrived — apparently "the accepted moment to switch conversational partners, no matter how much fun you're having" — turning to start her convo with the big shot and discovering that he was instead focused on his BlackBerry. The horror! (After the "accepted moment," it seems, it is unacceptable to turn back to the previous, more interesting, conversational partner.) After 750 words on Witchel's horrible terrible no-good very bad travesty of an evening, we're amazed she's able to get out of bed in the morning.
