soulful, joyful, pointful
A former co-worker is visiting from Israel, and he scheduled me for lunch. Into Redmond, the heart of darkness, I went, grousing ungently. As I approached Microsoft's campus, I could feel the vitamins drain from my bone marrow. I hate the place. I despise the multitudes of soulless, joyless, pointless asstards who work there.
Naturally, that's where he wanted to have lunch—in a dreary new Microsoft cafeteria. And so we did. I bitched about it. And at one point, he called me overly negative. "You hate everything, John!"
"Oh, I do not."
"You do!"
"If I'm pissy, it's because I'm in Redmond."
"Oh yeah? I defy you to name three things that fill you with joy to think about."
I briefly surveyed the crowded cafeteria and shared with him my list:
- Their mortality
- Your mortality
- My mortality
