Held Over

Me: Sorry I’m late, two minutes before I was supposed to leave, I got a problem. It was AWS, so it should have been straight-forward, but he took his computer out of the dock and lost internet connection, lost power. He was panicking for a minute. I called him and got him calmed down, but it took a minute.
Austin: Wow.
Me: He was 27, just a kid. He’s not used problems. It’s like, chill ax.
Austin: Those tests are expensive. He probably was scared he was going to be out the fees.
Me: Yeah, that’s probably rent.
Austin: Groceries.
Me: Those tests cost more than groceries.
Austin: Not when you’re 27. He’s got a girlfriend to take care of. He’s buying steaks. He’s got the breakfast spread. Expensive wine. Bacon.
Me: You’re right. And he’s not buying that spinach on sale. He probably shops at Kroger.
Austin: Worse, Giant Eagle!
