Pink Floyd’s The Wall is implied to be an endless loop. The final song, Outside the Wall, ends with the words “Isn’t this where…”, and the album begins with the words “… we came in?” with a continuation of the melody of the last song, hinting at the cyclical nature of Water’s theme.

Many of us have seen changes to our work situations lately.
More and more folks are doing their jobs from home, which is kinda nice as long as you’ve got a little space to dedicate to that sort of thing. Not super fun to be creating makeshift desks with your kids running circles around you and throwing play dough at each other or whatever it is that kids do.
Not that all the problems would go away if you were back in the traditional office, of course. No matter what form work takes, there’s always something to contend with.
It’s a strange thing, the world of employment – and nobody expresses that strangeness better than the people of Twitter.
There’s something very special and very weird at play here.
Work friends are so funny bc like do we see each other outside of work? Almost never. But do I know details about your sex life? Do i know your financial situation? Have i seen you in every mood imaginable? Do i know all your deepest darkest secrets? Hell yeah.

I’ve spent a lot of time on Twitter today. Also I did that yesterday. And the day before that. Look, it’s been a weird year, let’s just say I’ve had more time than usual on my plate and that site has a way of sucking you in. Don’t judge me. There are so many tweets!
What keeps me coming back for more of course are the funny ones, some of which I’d like to pass onto you right now, so that you can share in my addiction and I feel a little less weird about it.
I may or may not have lied about this a lot.

I don’t know why I relate to this so hard but I do.
One time when I was like 11 my dad took me to an Italian restaurant and the waiter asked what my name was and I said “Sam but you can call me captain ravioli” and my dad just looked at me and said “what the fuck was that? don’t do that” and I’ve been chasing that high ever since.
