Day #5

Day #5 - went on my first lunch date with a coworker so we can become better friends. We're both new hires and the youngest members of our team. And we're both Asian, except not really because he's Indian and we all know that's like...not the same thing, youknowhatimean? Anyways, as a part of this twisted socio-professional blogumentary, I will track the friendship of Harold and Kumar.

Making new friends is such a tennis game, all based off reciprocation. We met at the water cooler (SO CLICHE) and did our introductions, which was just fodder for us to establish "the click." As long as you are not a creeper (e.g., Dwight), you can make a friend.

He had asked me if I wanted to grab lunch, but it was Wednesday and I was swamped. Okay, I'm lying - I'm cheap and brought two sandwiches and a rice krispie for lunch. And a box of 두유, I fucking love that stuff right now. Since he took the first swing, I returned and said we should get lunch today. So Harold and Kumar went to Pei Wei.

On another vein (sorry, talking like a dumbass consultant), friendship is the most exhausting, fake thing I endure on a regular basis. Yet a prime source of joy. Sometimes I hate being human.

  1. but our friend ship lies outside the realm of fakeness right? ....right?

    also Harold and Kumar friendships are impossible to avoid as asians/east asians. They develop as a natural process to subconsciously imitate he movie.

  2. zomg this is super late but of course we lie outside the realm of fakeness, we're too gangster for that bullshit.

    and in strange coincidence, kumar made a harold and kumar reference today (in response to last night's trip to philly for cheesesteaks). i swear, one of these days i'm going to accidentally call him kumar.
