Surprisingly average dude just trying to achieve the American dream: sipping cheap bourbon while working late to pay off my staggering law school debt.
Even more obnoxious than drug-abuse emails are the “healthy tips” that are either super obvious or impossible:
– “Get up from your desk and take a walk every 30 minutes.” -umm, yeah, I’m sure every partner will love to see me prancing around the office every 30.
– “Take the stairs” -building security doesn’t allow access to the stairs from the lobby
Disagree with you (respectfully) on the blue shirts. I always think that blue shirts are for drones, white shirts are for bosses. You can spice it up with checks, vertical stripes, etc. but the shirt needs to be at least 50% white. All or mostly blue shirts always look too “cubical peon” for me. Then simple ties tied either half or full Windsor always with a jacket.
Solid article. I’d just add keep your answers and anecdotes short. The longer you talk, the greater the odds that you say something dumb. Don’t run your mouth (but also don’t be weird about it). Just be careful to keep the answers to a sentence or two then turn it into a question about them. Also, watch the PDA. Dad’s are like hawks watching how touchy you get. An arm around her might be ok but stay away from hand on the leg or other awkward nuzzling.
Rule #1 of Best Man Speeches: Don’t insult the bride.
The Best Man should’ve gone after his bro, not throw shade at the bride

deFries, how’d you miss this gem in your rundown??
Yeah, struggle with this big time.
My work mantra (that I have to repeat constantly throughout the day) is:
“People always care less than you think they do.”
When other people send around a correction, I never ever care, so why should I treat myself differently? Hard to remember in the moment, though
Yeah, caught that too. He shaved his balls to go watch high school football?
That’s actually an ad hominem 🙂
This article was mostly just a non-sequitur rant.

I doubt the “funny Rom-Com inside jokes” can survive being stretched into a full movie.
