Comedy gold. This essay is the reason why you had that sucky job. You had to write about it.

Yes! Reminds me of another fave Sedaris quote: “Everything’s funny, eventually.”

Second place?

You have explained the nuances of every ad agency known to man with this one.

I had a great time working in agencies that I also do not miss one single minute of. Mayyyyybe the ability to rage at one of our weekday happy hours and still be productive the next day. That's about it!

And I remember exactly where we were when Bryce shouted that! We were driving through Hayesville with him in the backseat. He stopped singing along to Supersonic's "Closing Time" just long enough to make his very important announcement. Still so funny.
