“There’s nothing new as far as add-on’s or anything like that. In fact, everything is pretty much the same. The only difference is we re-arranged where everything is located on the home page just to confuse people. We like to do stuff like that every 6 months or so to justify our jobs. And because we can.” - Facebook design team

Oddly enough, I was still disappointed

Based on some calculations I did prior to visiting my accountant on Tuesday, I thought my tax return was going to be 80% less than it was in previous years due to two large deductions that I no longer have. Turns out it’s only going to be 20% less. My happiness lasted all of five seconds, at which point I thought to myself, “motherfuck, that sucks.”

Him: “Hey Brian, I’m the best man in my brother’s wedding on Saturday. Wanna help me write the speech?”

Me: “You serious? It’s Thursday.”

Him: “Yeah no shit. I wrote a few things, but I don’t really like what I have so far.”

Me: “Okay. I’m gonna need some specifics though. Bride’s name, brother’s name, stuff like that.”

The specifics didn’t help me, so I just went with this:

Lots of words, lots of words, some of them are hilarious, some of them are sad, all of them make me sound awesome, generic speech. Cheers.

He liked it, but I doubt he uses it.

Am I the only person who can’t hear Jeff Beck’s name without immediately thinking of Del Preston and the little sweets shop on the edge of town?

Yeah me too. It wasn’t ‘til the end when he started dropping shout out n-bombs to his homies that I remembered who it was we were dealing with.

I appreciate the comedy, but there’s no way this is true. Until the day arrives when I can think of a book in my mind while sitting on my couch and have it magically appear on my lap, I’m going with the iPad.

Co-worker Donald just whistled "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus and it's my fault

This is my single greatest accomplishment of the year so far. And yes, I will be mentioning it when it comes time for my performance review.

“So Brian, did you accomplish all your goals this quarter?”

“Probably not, but back in January, I totally got Don to start whistling Miley Cyrus. Oh man he was so pissed.”

I was involved in a conversation earlier today where I was able to say “that’s what SHE said” four times in a row. I think that’s my new record and I’m pretty excited about it. I promise not to get a big head over it.
