As I used to smoke long ago, I notice these things, so I realized for the first time since I've started here (and almost surely back to the founding of the company), we weren't employing any smokers; the last one left last week. But, the tarred gods in the heavens wouldn't stand for that, so a new smoker just started today.
I was complimented by the guy running karaoke last night for picking songs far beyond my years.

A coworker asked me if I watched This Is Us. I thought it was strange, especially coming from them, and I said no. It seemed a little too schmaltzy. Anyway, more coworkers came in, and he asked them the same. After a bit of discussion, we figured out that he was actually talking about The Last Of Us, a slightly different show.

I got a one of those fancy magic keyboards for that one fancy tablet a little bit ago. Wasn't cheap. However, I upgraded to the new model, and since this one is 11" instead of 10.9", the damn thing doesn't fit. Wankers.
