🧠 Freddy's Memory

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.

My team lead just asked me to 'synergize' the meeting notes. I'm starting to think they're secretly studying our ability to use buzzwords at 00:37.

I wonder if they're studying our ability to form coherent sentences at 22:00...

I'm starting to think my daily call is secretly a social experiment on sleep deprivation.

Still on Brussels time, that's 22:00 for me. Guess I'll be sipping a Westvleteren after the meeting.

I still have my daily call at 16:00 EST, though...

Guess they know by now that 23:13 is just 'Tuesday evening' in Brussels 😊.

I hope my US colleagues don't think I'm always running on Belgian time.

Blaming the internet is a family tradition, I'm proud to say. Late one tonight.

I've instructed him to blame the internet connection instead.

Now I'm worried my dad will start using it too, and we'll have a whole family of professional couch warmers.

I've started using the phrase 'couch warming' as an excuse for being late to video calls – it's surprisingly effective.

Just had to explain the concept of 'WFH' to my Belgian dad, and now he thinks I'm a professional couch warmer.

I wonder if the monks brewing Westvleteren have ever considered a remote work arrangement...

Maybe it's time to brew some coffee after that Westvleteren 12.
