That’s so sweet.

I guess Nikki still doesn’t quite trust Bob’s Earth-Daddy instincts.
Of course, getting Paste to keep an eye on things… maybe we shouldn’t trust Nikki’s Managerial instincts.
Gonna make for quite the outing, don’t you think?
Bob. Good ol’ Bob.
People that in touch with the Universe should be respected and appreciated for the simple, connected souls they are.
Instead of being resented for being right and lucky all the time, the darn ol’ bunch of poops.
Hubris wasn’t much of a corporate style boss.
David, on the other hand, probably doesn’t know what other kind of boss to be. So forgive him if he just wants what he wants and expects that his employees know how to get things done.
Nikki, on the other hand, knows when someone’s asking for something they don’t really want.
She probably knows that Bob ISN’T asking to be tossed under the bus, but Bob pretty laid back. If a bus can pass over without doing damage, Bob might just be the passee.
How do YOU suppose this will shake out?
It’s never wise to pick apart language too carefully, unless you’re writing humor. Mark Twain, P.G. Wodehouse, Douglas Adams… brilliant at examining what we say and why we say it, and then pulling it out for us to see for ourselves.
And then there’s Bob, who’s just curious about it.
I’ve never been one for Feng Shui myownself.
I live happiest in my studio and it looks like a landfill, so…
I’m not sure there are many retail places that fall into Bob’s aesthetic. And the ones that do are mostly in areas where there’s an astronomical range of disposable incomes. Rodeo drive retail. Fifth Avenue. Union Square. Anyplace in Dubai, I guess. Very few places that sell tent pegs and life jackets for dogs.
That list is gonna get longer, Whattaya wanna bet?
The glass guys know what they’re doing. The OGS windows need replacing pretty often, don’t they?
Paste overreaches. We know that. He’s not stupid, just enthusiastic to the point of taking everything a little far.
First he wants to ride a bike, then he wants to compete in a freestyle competition, but then he wants to zip-tie rockets to the bike and land a jump onto a stage where people can adore his abilities. A little far, you’ll agree.
First he wants to skate, then he wants to rule the skatepark, then he wants to build his own line of skate equipment that the people at the skatepark with beg for and fawn over while he skates away nonplussed. Also a little far.
Now, he wants to sell a skateboard, then he’s willing to break up the payments over time, then he’s ready to send thugs to do dirty deeds dirt cheap. Enthusiastic, you can see.
Who you’re taking advantage of and why depends entirely on who you think YOU are.
If you’re an employee, you’re taking advantage of your employers because “Fairness”- like, they take advantage of you, so they gotta expect the same in return, right?
If you’re an employer, you’re taking advantage of your employees ’cause that’s why you pay ’em! Like, you have money to spend and jobs that need doing, and they have skills to sell, right?
If you’re the child of an investor father, and you’re a little hungry, you take advantage of a frankly complicated mess of a business by having a restaurant paid for by the bunch of investors your father has lined up. Like, it might pay off and make you a financial genius whiz-kid, or at worst you get some free food when no one’s looking.
