The other day, I ducked into a “phone room” at work to make a quick call. I was doing a lot of stuff at once:

• Reading a message on the Private Slack from the irascible Kenneth
• Waiting on hold
• Testing a pen to make sure I could make notes with it once I got through

So I made a note on a pad that said “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”¹ And then that kicked off the weird little chain letter above.

REM sucks, by the way.

1. A reference that Kenneth himself does not get.
