It happened. Less than 12 hours after my post about Outlook being amazing and moving SpiderBytes to my Junk Mail folder, it was BACK IN MY INBOX. Its a good thing I was in class when I saw, and thus forced to subdue the fury. How could this have happened so soon? Did I jump the gun by posting about it? Did I jinx myself? As a firm believer in the butterfly effect, I tend not to play the what-if game. But know this, SpiderBytes! I will loathe you for each and every morning I find you in my Inbox.
Nathan Lane did a musical tribute to Conan last night. It was pretty amazing. And so I have a new addition to my bucket list - Be the inspiration for a musical tribute. If I ever get to a point in my life where someone will write lyrics to a popular or once-popular song about me, I will know i have made it. Unfortunately, my chosen profession might not be ideal to that goal, but you never know.
If people don't talk to you, wearing a suit is a surefire way to solve that problem. People are so intrigued by suits that they must now what kind of competition/interview you are involved in. The problem with conversation like this is that it almost certainly leads to an awkward situation.
Scenario 1
"Why are you dressed up?"
"Negotiation competition."
"Oh cool, hows that going?"
"Good, I guess."
....Result: Awkward silence
Scenario 2:
"Why are you dressed up?"
"Interview"
"Oh cool. who with?"
"A firm"
"Cool..."
....Result: Awkward silence
Scenario 3:
"Why are you dressed up?"
"I have no other clean clothes."
"Why don't you do laundry?"
"Laundry killed my parents...I am avenging their deaths..."
....Result: Awkward silence
Scenario 4:
"Hey, Gregg, why are you dressed up?"
"I'm not really, my body just rejects all shirts without buttons. Also, I'm kind of a big deal."
...Result: Awkward silence
There needs to be a transition to get from the conversation about the clothes back to regular conversation. I'm still working on one. I'll keep you posted.
