Great column! (Er, story. Post?) Of course, I wouldn't be doing my old Stanford Daily editing training any justice if I didn't point out that the correct phrase is "status conscious," not "status conscience." Additionally, my conscience would bother me if I didn't write this pedantic little comment and point out the error. (Thanks, I'll be here all week.) Appreciate the stuff--I've posted about your Substack on our Stanford Class of '91 Facebook page more than once. Good to see you handling the end of your career with such aplomb. ;-)
Joel, I love these kinds of tales and your telling of them-- probably because I can relate to them… though most of my versions occur in dreams rather than waking life. (Now that I no longer interview people for a living.) I agonize over them all the same.
That was worth paying for!
Thank you! I so needed this today! By the way; you’re probably too good for her anyways; but the knife pull…should have won her over.

1) Thank you for the correction! I fixed it.
2) Thanks for posting about it.
3) I have zero aplomb.
Best one of the summer!

Loved the Conan videos!
Now you have me wondering where I fall on this status scale and what the scale is based on. Hmmm...
