Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.
Abraham Kim last shared their writing
names
He still tried to remember their name though. If he'd see them again for whatever reason in the hall he would say hi to them and if he remembered, then their name. This is something one of his bosses had stressed: the importance of one's name.

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
."
"Yeah. Simple as that."
"But there's so many cafes around here. What can be so special about that one? Maybe...

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.

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
