Eating & Drinking Stuff From Drive-Throughs

The real winners of this pandemic are drive-throughs.

I used to hate the Starbucks drive-through on Marshall and Snelling. I loathed it.

Every time I would drive by the notorious carbucks I would curse the people blocking the street and bike lane with their cars. The traffic in and out of the Starbucks is so bad that an officer actually directs traffic at the entrance/exit.

Office Space and The Office have a whole new meaning. Pete doing all those TPS reports, Andy putting a sandwich into his disk drive to break it so he can finally get a new computer. . .some may find these shows stressful but I find them cathartic.

Corporate (2nd season airing on Comedy Central) is like a more modern version of The Office. Sometimes it’s a little too real.

I’ve been thinking about the last episode of Corporate The Concert all week. It so perfectly and so comically depicts that pivot many of us made moving between our 20’s and 30’s. That of chasing as many activities as possible after work to being completely fine with chilling at home after work.
