My psych doc (the Jesuit docs in NW DC are really fascinated with what various substances will do to my scarred brain….no, doc, I’m married to a Fed. I’m allowed alcohol and not much else…) doesn’t want to watch the show so she isn’t influenced. But the scenery is very 1990s corporate. _I have worked here_. It might have been under a different name, but…

I can recall interviewing at a late-90s big tech firm around 2018. We can go to this place after the interview…off campus!

Oy, cringing to think I inadvertently tapped on the premise for Severence. But this is a great piece, glad to've struck a chord, even a grim one. Kudos to you and your wife for innovating as you have, despite/around the obligations.

Excited to check out the book when it comes out. I just wandered into self-publishing for the first time, after many years of working with traditional publishers, and there are definitely some major pros and cons. Happy to discuss if you have any questions.

I was wondering if that was a real building or just some fancy cgi. Very cool.

Very real! Very creepy! Haha but the inside is pretty cool. There’s even a Ramen restaurant 😂

Great tribute to the show, your wife and all the folks grinding out there, small bus and for the man. Awesome you’ve been in that building too. I went to the Bada Bing before it closed but this would be a top 5 TV location to visit.
