analogue pro tip

in spite of the 31,330 songs by the 2,909 artists stored in my itunes library, i've been playing a lot of vinyl while i work on projects at home.

having to get up to flip and/or change the records often brings some new perspective when i get back to the work at hand. plus, my butt doesn't fall asleep as much.

it can get tricky if paint is involved in the project, but it's still worth it.

this is my desktop at work

hey, guys, remember:

undercover

as i was heading out to grab a coffee this morning, i ran into one of the mail room guys:

Mail Room Guy: hey, matt, i got a package for you, want me to leave it at your desk?

me: oh, yeah, that'd be awesome, thanks!

MRG: cool, i'll drop it off.

me: sweet, thanks. (i turn to head out the door.)

MRG: hey, matt, one of my coworkers, he thinks you're (indistinguishable).

me: (walking back) huh?

MRG: he thinks you're a cop!

me: what?!

MRG: yeah, he sees you walkin' in the alley and he says "that guy's a cop."

me: no way! that's so funny!

MRG: yeah, he say "that guy dress like a cop..." he think you're police.

me: (laughing) oh man, that's awesome! well, tell him i AM a cop and i got my eye on him...

MRG: (laughing) ok!

anecdote

sometimes, the gayest dude in the office is talking to someone else near your cubicle and he says "big, black cop," but you're forgiven if you totally thought you heard something else...
