This is a post about the Apple Genius who helped me last night and asked for my name and I said ‘Matt’ and he said ‘Ok, and last?’ and I said ‘Langer’ and he said ‘Oh?’ and I said ‘What?’ and he said ‘Are you Matt Langer on Tumblr?’ and I said ‘Awk?’ and he said ‘Don’t worry, I don’t follow you’ and I said ‘Heh cool’ and he said ‘I’ve just seen your name around is all’ and I said ‘Oh ok’ and I stuttered a little bit because I didn’t know where to go next so I said ‘And what’s your Tumblr?’ and he answered ‘_____’ which I promptly forgot but nonetheless said ‘Oh cool I’ve seen your name around too’ and then he thankfully changed the subject back to the secondary display I was buying and made a joke about how 2x the desktop space equalled 2x the productivity and I nodded reassuringly, not because the joke was particularly funny but because in my head I suddenly realized that maybe at 2x the productivity I could accomplish 1x the work with 0.5x the effort and have 2x the time leftover to spend with friends alcohol.
