Bad Back-story 17
"Honey, I'm home."
"How was your day?"
"Eventful. Men in clown masks came in and robbed us. Someone set off the alarm and they started shooting up the lobby. I got nicked in the shoulder, but I'll be okay. Then at lunch I was sitting at my usual table when George Clooney walks in and sits at the next table and we had a long conversation about marriage. I gave him some good advice. Oh, and on the way home a news helicopter crashed in the street right in front of me. I had to swerve and drive through fire. I'm lucky to be alive. So, what's for dinner?"
"Hamburger Helper."

Same old, same old, eh?
Being an editor sounds like a rough job. ;-)
Like a piece of British Beef -- it's tough all over, tough and stringy and ...
Life is hard, I tell ya, Life is hard.
Oh, I think this is funny back-story! Does it have to be bad? Because this reads like a fun comedy to me. (Sorry if that's not what I'm supposed to think.)
Let's gloss over all the interesting events in the story as quickly as possible, and then elaborate on the trivial boring bits in excruciating detail.
So, tell me more about that Hamburger Helper!
This is exactly what my mother would say after I had an eventful day at school.
