Also, if I had a nickel for every time I use this joke format, I'd have an awful lot of nickels, because I think it's really funny.

If I had a nickel for every time I called in a water main break on Bay Ridge Ave near 3rd Ave, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's funny that it's happened twice.

Well, that's all done then. Handed in my laptop, handed in my id badge. After fifteen years, I am no longer a Googler. Even though this was my choice, it's still slightly bittersweet: that was a chunk of my self-identity for quite a while. But now, time to see what I will be next!

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
