How are we doing? Come on, come on, come on. Hey, 2005, I am sitting at my desk at AT&T, corporate America.

They just did a mass layoff. I was afraid to lose my job. And then I actually transitioned to another

but in this moment it was undeniable it was like soul startling I was like what was that and so

what was that and so at one in the afternoon I closed my laptop I put it in my briefcase, I go to the elevator,
