It's like somebody went out of their way to marry Lloyd Dobler and then make him work in corporate sales.
I liked the article too. Like Moby, I smiled at the CEO comment-- I can imagine many of my younger friends talking like that away from the job, and a few who would try lines like that at their jobs. I'm glad that it was a simple presentation of four stories--the experiences as written felt authentic, but would have been unruly pruned into a thesis and supporting evidence.
I've been calling it "the COVID Reassessment" and I know so many people (especially women) going through it right now.
One thing that drives me fucking nuts is english compound verbs. "put up with" is different from "put up" which is not the opposite of either sense of "put down". "go on" "go down" "go down on". "get up to" "get up" "get down".
Would "COVID check up on" work as something to check out?
Oh wait maybe this should be in the check in thread.
Going to a likely COVID-inspired wedding next weekend, and know of another one in my friend circle.
"In the back of my mind, I thought I'd see him in a new light if he was where he grew up."
I didn't realize people's brains worked like this outside of novels.

One thing I realized is that of all the people I could be trapped with for a year, my wife is one of the less annoying possibilities.
That's not quite what we are looking for.
14: Walt! That's the most romantic thing you've ever said to me!
"Well, dear, I was starting to feel sorry for myself being trapped with you for a whole year, and then I thought to myself it could be worse. I could be trapped with Mitch McConnell."
Wait, I'm not stuck all up in here with you, you're stuck here with me.

911 is a joke in your town.
I kinda knew people complain about "to impact" when I was writing this. But I am a provocateur.
"Impact" has been used as a verb for something like four centuries.
I was hoping at least one story involved someone falling in love with a stranger who was swabbing their nose.
