Let’s be real: we’ve all wished our jobs were this human. We spend 40 hours a week in meetings about synergy, while James spends his workday learning how to buy a birthday gift for someone he likes. That’s not a job—that’s a masterclass in living.
So next time you’re stuck in a cubicle, doom-scrolling through your phone, remember James and his laminated list of date questions. The job isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, stimming when you need to, and finding someone who doesn’t mind that you’d rather discuss the taxonomy of insects than the latest celebrity gossip. That’s the real paycheck.
And honestly? That’s a job we could all use a little more of.
