Also, at work I've found it useful to throw out references to things from a long time ago, so people realize what a "seasoned professional" I actually am.
This is exactly why I keep telling the people at work about dinosaur evolution.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE YOU ARE THAT OLD, BILLYTEA.
But seriously, when I tell people my first job in NYC didn't have email, they totally recast me in their heads.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
one of my tasks as an intern was making real paper copies of the faxes.
good times. also, kids totally confused by what I mean.
I have been a responsible worker for 45 minutes this morning, I think it is time to stop this nonsense.

billytea totally wiped out the dinosaurs. On the internet, no one knows you're an asteroid.
I do get annoyed when people much younger than me are all "I'm so old", but that seems like a different thing from "how can it be so long since" whatever.

I am not 100% sure, but I think Ryan retains a suspicion that my discussions of dinosaurs are based on first-hand knowledge.

OK, I am dressed, I have something to eat for lunch, time to make the donuts.
I would much rather be actually making donuts than going item by item through a retailers assortment and trying to decipher their sales plan, which is what I mostly have to look forward to today. So it goes. Maybe I will make donuts tomorrow.

Oh, they'll find out soon enough.
Off to rename my Wifi connection "Chicxulub Crater".

not your mom's socks.
What did she get, Sox?
The third Fairyland book by Cat Valente, Mad Libs, a bathrobe, and ice-skating kipple. Also dinner out with her grandparents and a sleepover party tomorrow. This means I get wine, right?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm off on a semi-spontaneous solo road trip to Point Pleasant, WV. If I see the Mothman, I'll let you all know.
I know there's a Mothman statue there, but I've never tried to find it. If you see it, take a picture!

Ah ha ha! Man, there are many people in the workforce who have no idea about thermal paper.

But he's just little! For Ryan, "Hey Soul Sister" came out a lifetime ago!
