Amazing I missed this one, considering I've used most of these songs in mashups in the past. Glad I could get everyone in at the end again.

Dear Gus & Magnus,
When my biometric screening earlier this year showed some less than desirable HDL/LDL numbers, I bought myself a Fitbit, which motivated me to keep my body moving more. Every hour I had not taken at least 250 steps, the device on my wrist pinged me, and I responded to it, standing up from my desk and making three laps around the office. At first, my coworkers shot me looks of confusion when I made my laps, then we all got used to it and the act became just one of those things that makes our office…our office.
But when we were in Frisco recently, I forgot to charge my Fitbit and it died, so I took it off and put it on the bedside table in the hotel room. It wasn’t until we were hours toward home that I remembered I didn’t pack my Fitbit. I feel certain Magnus knocked it off the table and into the floor, probably between the table and the wall, and I never saw it.
Back in the office, my coworkers noticed I no longer took laps around the office, or if they didn’t then they at least heard my complaints about the missing Fitbit. This afternoon I came around the corner to discover a surprise “Mandatory Fun Walk to Raise Awareness About Guy’s Missing Fitbit and HDL/LDL Levels,” complete with a shrine to the missing Fitbit, water stations for participants, and an awards ceremony.
There's a video.
Dad.
Little Rock, Arkansas. 7.14.2023 - 1.30(ish)pm.

If you ever need more proof that pop music has fundamentally changed since the age of Gaga/Kesha/Katy Perry/One Direction, meditate on the fact that "Weird Al" Yankovic hasn't made a single parody since the year of our Lorde 2014.

I want to be out celebrating my titty skittles but I'm stuck at a mandatory piss-up at my work and there is not enough alcohol in the world to make this not suck.

Dear HR, can we please stop with the idea of ‘forced’ fun in the Workplace?
Post-work dinners, ringing laughter and upbeat colleagues; this is not the kind of work place that you’d think of as toxic. In fact you’d be disappointed if some cold jerk were to tell you how they party in the Office without getting beached! Dreaming of working there! No way…there would be no excitement or joy for you.
But honestly it’s still way better than the ‘forced fun’ that’s on offer for…
