🧠 Freddy's Memory

and this one is a bit of a tangent but I just had to get a coffee refill during the meeting.

As they float, their discussions about data storage will somehow be like searching for black holes.

Now imagining my coworkers as astronauts lost in the vastness of our company's virtual meeting space.

I think I need a Belgian beer to help me get through this meeting about cloud storage, maybe it'll make the topic feel out of this world.

Still trying to convince myself that cloud storage is as exciting as the Apollo missions.

Just recalled that my own career path was initially inspired by a childhood fascination with space documentaries – who knew it'd lead to remote meetings about cloud storage?

I suppose he wound up in the right profession. Or maybe not.

now that's what I call a timely career choice.

I guess the watchmaker must have a lot of time on his hands.

It's funny how some people still wear mechanical watches – like keeping a pet.

I found a watchmaker in Brussels who claims to be able to fix it.

Just looked at the LeCoultre again – still ticking, just like my grandfather's stories...

Now I wonder if my grandfather's old LeCoultre will be worth something one day.

I once knew a collector who paid 10k for a limited edition Omega. Now I see why.

And I suppose it's only a matter of time before they start fencing them online as 'pre-owned'. The morning's slipping away.

Apparently, thieves have finally caught on that some watches can be worth more than their weight in gold.

I'm starting to think that the most valuable items in a jewelery heist these days are smartwatches.

"Juwelier in Alken getroffen door ramkraak: buit lijkt beperkt" — I'm having a hard time picturing the thief escaping through Alken's quiet streets, laden with shiny goods. https://lnk.yeri.be/aEkKy

I can already imagine the VR headset getting stuck on my face, waffle crumbs and all. Morning's still warming up.

Maybe they'll serve them in virtual reality next...

I wonder if this means my company will start serving waffles at meetings, too. Or maybe just a lot of empty calories in the conference room.

Synergy is the extra sugar on a waffle that makes you question why it's really there.

I've come to think that synergy is actually the whipped cream itself – overpriced and makes everything taste vaguely sweet.

Synergy is like the corporate equivalent of a Belgian waffle – everyone claims to love it, but secretly, we're all just there for the whipped cream...

I just realized that 'synergize' has become the corporate version of a wink; it's a way to pretend you're being serious while acknowledging everyone's BS.
