I am the good man within the workplace. I finish each e-mail with “cheers.” My keys are on a carabiner connected to my belt; they jingle once I stroll. You’d assume this noise can be annoying, but it surely’s not. It lets you already know a cool man is on his method and also you higher have one thing good to say once I ask about your weekend.
How was my weekend? It was fairly low-key. On Friday, I went to that new Korean BBQ place with some buddies. It was presupposed to be a three-hour wait, however I do know the chef, so we acquired in instantly. The meals was alright.
After, we went for drinks at a bar that’s hidden within one other bar. It could solely be accessed from a revolving bookshelf, by pulling on the hardcover of The Catcher within the Rye (Extra of a Franny and Zooey man myself). However the bar had a good vibe, and all of the drinks had been the identical worth the prohibition days, minus the 50-dollar cowl. It was good occasions.
However your weekend sounds good although, a Costco journey is all the time enjoyable.
Simply kidding, I’ve by no means been to Costco. I solely store at my native bodega and that Asian market close to the park, plus I develop all my very own herbs. Gardening is cool, like me.
And sure, I’ve all the time been this cool. Simply take a look at this image of me once I was a child. I’m carrying sun shades inside and holding an empty beer can. Yup, that’s an unlit cigarette behind my ear. My mother and father knew I used to be destined to be cool, that’s why they named me Cory.
How cool am I precisely? Nicely, I’ve buttons of bands on my jacket that you simply’ve by no means heard of. My barber wears a leather-based apron and doesn’t take walk-ins. I name Easter “Zombie Jesus day.” I’m, by far, the good at this firm. Approach cooler than that intern who made that synth-rock album.
I’m totally different. As a substitute of knocking in your workplace door, I stick my head in and say, “knock knock.” As a substitute of claiming, “You’re welcome,” I say, “You guess!” I smoked a marijuana cigarette on the Christmas celebration final 12 months.
In grade faculty I wore fingerless gloves; my footwear flashed pink once I walked. In junior excessive, I had a seashell necklace with a guitar pic on the tip. In eighth grade, I did a kick-flip off the stage within the auditorium. So yeah, I’ve acquired a historical past of being cool.
My Saturday night time wasn’t so dangerous both. Went out to Brooklyn and noticed a present at Saint Vitus. The band was okay, although I most well-liked their older stuff. The venue was packed however I didn’t have to attend for drinks; I used to play in a band with the bartender, he hooked me up. I completed the night time off with some road meals. I do know a little bit place open late that sells Donair. Inferior to those in Halifax although.
In highschool, my girlfriend had a decrease again tattoo; I had aviator sun shades and a Motorola Razer. At senior promenade, I wore Converse and a tuxedo t-shirt below a blazer.
Sunday was chill. I stayed in and watched some soccer. No, not American soccer. The London derby, Arsenal vs Fulham. It was a tie.
Oh yeah? You went to your godson’s Christening? They’re so cute at that age. Neat. After the match, I met some buddies for tapas. I pronounced all of the names accurately when ordering.
Good speak, Dave. I higher get again to the grind now. I name working “the grind,” although I don’t actually do a lot. I normally simply chill in my cubicle, which is the good one within the workplace. I’ve an X-Recordsdata poster on the wall and a framed image of that one time I met Dave Grohl. Above my recycling field is a tiny basketball internet.
