We have a friend named Joel who played the piano at our wedding. Then he accepted a job with one of my company’s biggest competitors.
Silly Joel.
I reminded Stephan that even though Joel should really be working for my company, we have to still be friends with him, so he can play the piano at our children’s weddings in 30 years.
“Thirty years? That’s it?” said Stephan.
“They’re growing up so fast.”

He is a silly one. But, I do think he has an opening for playing at a wedding in 30 years. Or 2 or 3 weddings, depending on how many offspring you have by then…
There are limits, people. While I appreciate the efforts of Joel’s Wife to be gracious, I’m not sure I can promise to be available in 30 years to play at any weddings for children of employees of an acronymically-incorrect corporation. Especially that one. Since when did using a number in an acronym become acceptable?? Since the advent of texting, you say? If that’s so, then I say gb & cul8r. There must be an ebkac up there cuz I’m fomcl at that idea. Oh, and h2cus.
Don’t worry, Joel’s Wife and I will iron out the details.
Also: We’ll just see who you’re working for in 30 years.
Also: I’m not allowed to text because it costs 15 cents. So Stephan and I had to look up your acronyms, because we are either super dorky or not dorky at all; we couldn’t decide.
I realize this comment comes with some delay, but my loyalties are still to the bride. Anyway, would you mind sharing with the rest of us who may also be, or not at all, super dorky what the acronyms mean?
goodbye and see you later. there must be an error between keyboard and chair up there cuz i’m falling off my chair laughing at that idea. oh, and hope to see you soon.
Now that’s just silly.
Texting.
Seriously.
