*The office manager at work is completely awesome. This is a 50-60-ish year old woman who once told me that my sense of humor reminds her of John Hodgman (which is pretty much the highest sense of humor anyone could pay me right now), told me to watch Tosh.0, and once recommended This American Life to me when I was actually listening to that week's TAL podcast. The other day when I was listening to War Rocket Ajax, she asked me what I had on. I told her a it was a comic book podcast. Her immediate reaction?
"SPOON."
That's right. She straight up dropped a Tick reference on me. You just don't expect that kind of thing from older ladies.
Honestly, between her geeky tendencies, her sense of humor, and the fact that she does math for a living, she reminds me of tarzanic in about 30 years. It's kind of weird to see.
*Gmail just gave me this ad: "Unemployed Toddlers? - babylab.uchicago.edu - Put them to work at the Center for Early Childhood Research!"
That may be the greatest ad ever. GET TO WORK, YOU DAMN TODDLERS. DON'T CRY! WHAT ARE YOU, BABIES?
*I'm trying to decide what I thought of last week's Office clip show. On one hand, clear jump the shark moment. On the other, if there's one show that COULD theoretically get away with a clip show, the mockumentary format makes The Office that show. And it actually fit in both thematically (looking back on the time with Dunder Mifflin) and emotionally (the Jim-Pam retrospective alone was awww). But when you get right down to it, I was grateful that tonight was a rerun instead of another freaking clip show.
