    I’ve told the story before, but I worked a MarketPro Computer Show & Sale a million years ago and was stationed next to a booth selling mostly speakers and stereo equipment where the booth owner had brought his 10-ish year old son with him. This son preceded to play “Around the World,” full-blast, through an enormous stack of display speakers, instantly filling the entire convention hall. Then he put the song on repeat. All day. No exaggeration, he did not play a single other song for the entirety of the 10 hour shift, just “Around the world, around the world… around the world, around the world… around the world, around the world” endlessly.

    That kid is a legend of trolling.

    Boring pop culture opinions that nobody actually likes but which wear the cadence of interesting content so people unthinkingly clap along out of habit even though nobody is actually edified by it or sincerely enjoying it.

    Lol, when I describe the song to people what I say is almost verbatim: “it sounds like they stumbled upon one really solid guitar riff and were like, fuck it, play that shit for the next 4 minutes! Umm is that gonna be enough for a song? Who gives a shit!”

    So yeah, the riff is pretty good







  • From management? If that’s the case I hope you’re clarifying to them that work conversations are legally work, so you will be expect to be paid fully for any hours clocked on the phone outside normal scheduled hours.

    Of course if you’re talking about fielding calls while on the clock… well yeah you’re probably gonna have to answer those.
