In lieu of designating a toolbag this Wednesday, I’d really rather write about something that’s been on my mind the last couple of days. We had gathered for Graphic Designer Friend’s Bachelorette and amid the tasteful if not sedate revelry, one of my other coworkers (22 and the instigator of the “gooch” lunchroom incident) approached [...]
