Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing to old school!
Microsoft Office was horrible software. That's why he liked it. Things were too slick these days. Apps. The kids were always on a few at the same time. When one app got old today two new ones came to replace them. Apps. Apps everywhere.Β  apps Β  apps apps.

The woman who didn't check time

After leaving her job, she didn't view time the same. Instead of using the 24 hours she began segmenting each day into six markers. There was no concept of seven o clock anymore.

This was her system:

Untitled Shared at Mar 19, 2022

The ground moved enough over the years to break theΒ  concrete . And now the grass grew in between these divides. His father lamented that they didn't go for theΒ  cobblestone driveway look instead. He made him come outside and pick out the crabgrass using their glass, and they'd sprayΒ ...

Thoughts about my favorite college cafe

Almost everyday, my favorite cafe in college drew a crowd. The only days it'd lay bare were holidays when almost all the students went home. Besides that it was a squeeze, and I'd often have to share a table with a 'stranger' during peak hours.

Drive as meditation

"I don't get it. Why do you drive all the way down there. Come on tell me the truth, you're seeing someone. No? Well then you really just like thatΒ  cafe ."

Bodyguard

When people find out I'm aΒ  bodyguard they are surprised. They expect a bodyguard to be 6'5 270 pounds or something, but that's not always the case. I mean I have coworkers who are that size or even larger, but those kind of bodyguards act as more of a signal...

Dental UV lamps

He helpedΒ  dentists become more effective. That was what he did, though others called him some kind of consultant title, but seeing as he didn't like being associated with consultants , he chose not to take on that title openly. Instead he preferred to tell people that he helped dentists.

Hungry Car

MyΒ  Hyundai has about 132,000Β  miles on it. Given itsΒ  MPG around 23 in the city and 30 on the highway and my driving patterns, I estimate that this car has now burned roughly 5500 gallons of gasoline .Β 

That's a lot of gas! And calculating by the average price...

Wrinkle

They lived in a wrinkle ofΒ  history . Where there was peace for just a bit. But then it was back to the script.

The City I

The drive toΒ  Westcity took over an hour.

Taxes and Peanuts

When I started at Stimson Co. they were still doing much of their bookkeeping on paper. Literal paper, with pen, and I don't say that as a knock on excel or anything, they were literally writing down numbers using ink pen onto pieces of paper. Granted they used those  carbon...
