The only time that I can MAYBE see where this would work is if there’s a drastic disparity in income. For example, he’s a hedge fund manager that makes $250,000/year + bonus and she works at the front desk somewhere and makes $50,000/year. Other than that…this person that you’re alluding to is called a “cuck.”
For me that’s not a problem either. The problem is when it’s 8 AM and I just got into work and need to get back into spreadsheets. There’s no way that I can concentrate without some of that black brain juice.
I don’t understand how people can work without coffee, especially if the job involves Excel. I have to have a cup at home in the morning and one after lunch (both plain black, I’ve trained my taste buds to like it and it’s so much better for you without the cream and sugar), otherwise all the numbers will blend together even more than they already do.
Desperate times call for desperate measures when you move to New York to pursue *INSERT SHITTY AND UNREALISTIC DREAM* but your only skills are making coffee at Starbucks.
Other than the fact that I didn’t know that anyone younger than 60 still uses Skype, fantastic piece as always. Never thought of it this way. This weekend, one of my childhood friends is graduating law school on the other side of the country. I’ll have to see if he has some free time to take shots of Facetime.
I don’t know what you talk about at work, but from the conversation in this piece, the only thing that’s troublesome is the Adderall reference. The other stuff, assuming you’re not in trouble otherwise, would probably result in an eye roll and a slap on the wrist.
Except to them, Tom Brady will be some distant football player they read about on a sports history site (or whatever the 2068 version of a website will be).
Unless he becomes President. Which isn’t out of the question.
Honestly, no one is going to look check his Slack convos unless they have a reason to and if they have a reason to, there’s bigger things to worry about.
I don’t know what I did (or didn’t do), but in the six years it’s been since I graduated, I haven’t gotten a single call asking for donations. It’s been glorious.
I mean, if one person is a trust fund kid that’s never wanted for money, while the other has had to work constantly since he/she was 16, it’s going to be hard to reconcile things if the two can’t meet each other halfway.

“Energy = Fucks (basically)”
So are you saying that mc^2=fucks?
You must really have a lot of free time on your hands if you can think of a ranking for ice of all things.
This place is incredible. Came there both times I’ve been in Chicago – probably top 5 steak I’ve ever had. Bone marrow is pretty good too.

My thoughts as I read this, “they’re probably insufferable hipsters.”
My thoughts when I saw the picture at the bottom, “yep, they’re insufferable hipsters..”
Nice to know that Orange is the New Black inspired some real life business ventures.

Not even touching my car if something’s wrong with it. It’s what I pay AAA for.

I thought LDL was bad cholesterol?
