people watching

I've always known I'm a people watcher.  Today, I was a people watcher who REALLY knew I was a people watcher.  There's something about it...so fun to imagine who they are.  I attended a training, and could not stop thinking about where the speaker came from (he told us Fairbanks, Alaska), what his wife must be like...then looking around the room and wondering about people.  Her, with the clearly designer purse...if you know me, you know I won't know which designer, but I can tell it's expensive because she handles it with mucho care and she smells like a salon.  All the way down to the people who directed us parking.  I can concentrate on the training, don't get me wrong......but my wind wanders.  So I'm left with this - what does a mind wandering person want to do for "income" as she ponders how distracted she gets?  Help?
