Karl, I am so sorry.

Separately, I just had a co-worker use the phrase "unwrap the kimono" in a meeting this morning. I kinda boggled.

Okay, I didn't click 46 times to read the business jargon. What is "unwrap the kimono" supposed to mean?

That's rough, Karl. My condolences.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I'm just as glad I've still never heard it.

I didn't read the business jargon thing either, because I didn't want my head to explode from rage. But from context today, I think it's similar to looking under the hood. Looking at the inner layers/workings of something.

Because books.
Oh, Karl, I'm so sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just answered the phone to a telemarketer who was calling to tell me he was dropping off some free coupon shit. I told him I didn't want it. But it's free! Still large with the not wanting, dude. I hung up on him because he wouldn't stop talking. People who have that crap job understand that I'm not hanging up on them to be mean, right? Just to make their voices go away...I don't think being a telemarketer means you should be treated badly, but I also don't think it means I have to listen.

This. After two polite no-thank-yous from me, if they keep pushing, I say, "Good-bye," and hang up.
Unrelatedly, if we keep talking about this unwrapping the kimono thing, I'm going to be forced to seek out relevant clips from Blonde.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Karl, I'm so sorry for your loss.
