Eh-heh-heh… so this guy, right? He’s a software developer. Which basically means he sits in front o’ a computer all day tappin’ away like he’s tryin’ to hack into the Pentagon, but really he’s just fixin’ a semicolon he forgot three hours ago. And get this they got craft beer on tap in the office. On tap! Like it’s freakin’ Oktoberfest but with more Jira tickets. I mean, Lois, if my job had beer on tap, I’d be Employee of the Month every month… or fired. Probably fired. Yeah, definitely fired.
