One of my best friends growing up, lived right down the street. He moved in high school, we kept in touch a little bit, and then rarely. I think I had just graduated college and he called one morning at 5am. Asked what he was doing, "I just got out of prison."
This quoted post is unavailable.
We talked occasionally after that. Had a tendency to call when he was drunk and wanted to reminisce about childhood.
His dad called late last year to tell me that my friend's car broke down on the highway. He got off to the shoulder, but a semi plowed into the back of him.
Always think of Le Corbusier's description when I see the Chrysler Building, "hot jazz in stone and steel."
In honor of the Chrysler Bldg trading I’d like to share that my incessant tweeting asking for a tour actually worked.
A stranger (now friend) on ReTwit hooked it up: Mr. Chrysler's private bathroom (69th floor), the 67th-floor “Dentist in The Sky”, the 🦅 s , and a ladder climb up to the tippyyy top.
And that young woman's name was..... Julie Masino.
Do you think Chester Gould wore a three piece suit everyday to draw Dick Tracy? I'd like to think so.
At a previous job there was already a Nick on the team, so he was Nick 0 and I was Nick 1. Could have used initials but numbers, starting at 0, were more fun.
We hired a new VP named Michael Lee.
Unfortunately we already have a Michael Lee.
He works in the warehouse.
He's been here 11 years.
New VP gets:
[email protected]
He immediately messages IT.
“Can you move the other Michael to michael.lee2 and give me michael.lee?”
No.
He asks HR.
HR asks me if we can “prioritize seniority.”
I explain that the warehouse Michael has eleven years of email history tied to that address and changing it because someone with a nicer title arrived would be insane.
VP reluctantly keeps the 2.
Warehouse Michael finds out.
Changes his Teams display name to:
Michael Lee (Original)
By Friday the VP is being referred to as Sequel Mike.
He has asked IT to intervene.
Unfortunately nickname management is outside our support scope.
It's in an industrial area, what are reasonable arguments against putting a data center in a location like this?

Saw this picture of Riverfront earlier. When I think of Riverfront, I think of my grandpa. And stepping on the squishy stuff. And sitting in the red seats, wishing we could sit in the blue. The Jumbotron. And miniature bats that they gave away. And...
