Tuesday, October 28, 2003 The Pitch: What is This Thing You Call Pitch? It's true. I think I might blog more if I had to worry about the fucking pitch less.Or maybe not. Today seems to be one of those days when I lie to myself a lot. It's how I made it through. One reason I love where I work: this morning, I walked into the elevators and two guys were talking about parking. Sadly, if I hadn't been slammed afterward with work, I might have been able to recount this remarkable conversation, but I'll have to quickly and poorly summarize, instead. Hey, one guy says, I found a spot. A new parking spot. What do you mean, the other guy asks. You mean, another unmetered spot? That's right, the first guy says (they're both in suits). At [address I can't recall]. Thought you would want to know. It's like the spots around here? Yeah. Well, no. These are marked off for construction--someone put up tape. But the work never started. So the spots are just open. They're not metered. Nice. Yeah. Not as nice as the ones right out here. Yeah, the first guy says. Sure. But the spots out here you have to arrive at 5:30. True. I just wanted to let you know, the first guy says, and the tone in their conversation is he's the younger brother trying to teach the older brother something for a change, rather than vice-versa. Well, the second guy says. Thanks. I'll add them to the list. Like at Elephant, the first guy says. Elephant and Cathedral. That's right, the second guy says with amusement. Elephant and Cathedral. They look at each other like they're about to laugh and they get out on their floor, and then I'm alone in the elevator, also amused. Parking spots talked about like they're jungle legends, is what I'm thinking. It's the word elephant. Free parking in the Financial District is like the elephant's graveyard. Everyone wants to find it, and everyone likes bullshitting in front of a stranger about how they've been there. Funny. posted by Jeff Lester | 10:00 PM | |
