Ideally this van would disgorge actual bears on demand. However, it’s some kind of pre-failed service that brings mobile teddy bear parties to your location.

Friday in the American office
Smiles, casual clothing, greetings of “Happy Friday!”, discussions of forthcoming weekend activities, elevator conversations about how this sure is nice that it’s Friday…
Depression, pathos, and futility ooze from all of it. One day in the working five is half-dedicated to the idea that the next two aren’t spent in a fluorescent call center or an airless cubicle.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

So: rising in social class through the use of labor and capital. Sticking together as a family. And the struggle for black identity in America. If I had to capture the opposite of those three concepts in a single symbol, it’d be a North Carolina hipster playing a trombone on his iPhone.
NOTE: via whom you should read.
administrivia: phone
My phone is pretty much dead. Calls will be forwarded to my workphone, and if you want to SMS me you can do so via google voice at (949) 891-2528. Or call me there. It’s Google Voice, so I’ll get it wherever I am.
New phone arrives on Monday; I shall be an iPhone Jerk.
