    At first I hated it. But now I love it. He seems a pillar of strength in a working dad kind of way. She seems like she’s trying really hard to understand what this boring job entails. All around the accoutrements of early 1970s office life in an iconic yet doomed skyscraper. A beautiful moment captured.

        A simpler time where every god damn thing wasn’t computerized and generating metrics to track every aspect of your life.

      It certainly makes your life a lot easier if the employees don’t have any computers!

      I’m now 25 years into my IT career and the older I get the more I understand those former co-workers who retired and just wanted to fuck off, go fishing, and never look at another computer.

        Math is hard. I won’t delete my comment though as you should all find joy in my stupidity.

          The picture was taken closer to the construction of the pyramids than what we are today.

          Don’t worry, in five years, you’ll not only be proven correct, your prediction will hold eternally. That’s rare!

      That’s his knee, he’s got his leg across the other, not his hand down his pants.
