Oh, yes!

It's true. I'm back. I know, I know... it's been ridiculously long. But good things are worth the wait, right?

So, I just spent my first full day at my new job. Guess where it is. Wrong. Bryan Johnson's studio. I'm honestly still not quite sure how it all happened, but I'm so glad it did! I love being here, and I'm excited about what's ahead. I think I'm gonna be famous. Can't be sure yet, though.

Anyway. As you might be aware, there's a pretty incredible group of people that work here, so I should have some fun things to write about now. They'll most likely be pretty ridiculous things, but fun things none-the-less. Today our conversation went in an interesting direction, and we were forced to clarify a few things about a commonly used word... "Leaving." Simple though it may seem, this word has many seriously implications when used in different ways. Let me explain:

If you say "I'm leaving." What exactly does that mean? How long are you leaving for? See... confusing stuff. Therefore, I'm going to help unveil the newly developed method for deciphering exactly what one means when using the word "leaving."

If someone says "I'm leaving" using the word "leaving" only once, then that means they are simply leaving their current location for a short period of time (Example: A lunch break).

If someone says "I'm leaving, leaving," then that means they are going on a short weekend trip or family vacation most likely around 5-7 days in length.

If someone says "I'm leaving, leaving, leaving," then they are planning to be gone for an extended period of time lasting over 2 weeks in length.

If someone says "I'm leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving," then you can be sure that they are moving from their current place of residence to a new residence in a different city. In order to use 4 "leavings" one must be moving at least 1 hour away from their current residence.

If someone says "I'm leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving," then they are planning to die. Simple as that.

I hope the explanation of a this tricky little word will benefit you in some way.

Alright. I'm leaving. Well... I might be leaving, leaving. We'll see. Have a great one, and it's good to be back!
