    Anyone but Brice, tbh.

    • Idk what’s supposed to be bad about getting engaged
    • Everyone farts
    • I like Radiohead
    • Natural deodorant works fine for a lot of people
    • Most people I’ve known who do crossfit have been very aware that talking about it is a meme
    • Dudes who are super old and still working tend to be fun
    • HR folks have a lot ot useful info for getting the most out of your employment

    Edit: I will decline Wallace, too, actually. As fun as he might be, at 100 there’s a pretty good chance he’ll die on the job and I don’t wanna deal with that.

      It says “is like 100”, not “is 100”, so that just means something like > your own age * 1.33

      Torn between Wallace and Lewis. They’re both farters, but one wears headphones. Maybe Wallace will take me to steak at lunch.

    I’d be fine with several of these.

    Brice: I’ve never understood people’s distaste for that smell. I won’t microwave tuna in an office because I know others don’t like it, but it wouldn’t bother me.

    Wallace: probably has some great stories, but also likely wants to shut up and get things done. Great combination if handled correctly.

    Shiloh: hey, you can play anything on your headphones, I’m cool with that. But if you want to play stuff on speaker it’s only fair that we play 50/50. (My secret: I could totally do up to 75% Radiohead)

    Dayzie: again, not a smell that tends to bother me.

      On a somewhat related note, does anyone else find Radiohead a bit insufferable? Their entire discography seems to be aimed at angsty 14 year olds with first world problems:

      Creep - Oh no, my love interest finds me weird.

      No surprises - Boo hoo I live a comfortable middle class existence, woe is me.

      Wolf At The Door and Knives Out get a pass for cool music videos and genuinely disturbing lyrics.

        My wife is the admin Spock. In her last job, she knew the bosses were unreasonable and was willing to cover for the employees more or less (some were jerks or incompetent. They didn’t last long.)

        Though generally, if upper management does something outright scandalous or outright illegal, HR usually helps cover it up. I don’t think she’d be willing to cover sexual assault, but she did had to cover up grift by clients.

    Ah the scenarios we are forced to imagine with back to office mandates. I’ll go with Dayzie because we have similar ideologies about deodorant and I can’t wait for someone to complain to Susan so I can be oppositionally defiant.

    Hannah: Get her to invite me to the wedding, meet her friends and all the social circle. Very helpful to grind that social experience

    Caleb: dude is probably shredded and knows not only how to eat healthy, but, by comparison, will force you to eat healthy as well. Probably can help with grinding the social experience as well

    Wallace: if you get him to open up and share his work experience, this could be the teaching of a lifetime. Also helps to grind the social experience as he probably has young nephews, and family gatherings to invite you

    These 3 are my best choices

    Wallace.

    Dude just wants to shut up and work, make it to retirement. You could probably engage him about his grandkids or his fishing trip if you wanted.

    All the rest of them are gonna want to bother you with their problems or hobbies.
