PHONE: Ring. Ring. Hey, Taco, it's that recruiter who has called you eight times today but won't leave a voicemail.
TACO: Hello?
RECRUITER: Yes hello I am speaking to Taco?
TACO: Yep.
RECRUITER: Yes hello Taco I am recruiter I am representing opportunity for 1.7 year contract are you interested?
TACO: The hell?
RECRUITER: Excuse me?
TACO: That's a weird duration for a contract.
RECRUITER: I am sorry?
TACO: How many days are in 1.7 years?
RECRUITER: One year plus seven months.
TACO: No, seven months is 7/12 of a year. Roughly. They vary in length, so it's a pretty terrible unit of measurement. But let's accept it as a basic unit. One year plus seven months is 1 7/12 years. You said 1.7. 1 7/10 years. How many days are in 1.7 years?
RECRUITER: This contract runs from blah blah blah to blah blah blah.
TACO: Ah, I see. That's not 1.7 years.
RECRUITER: No it is for one year and seven months.
TACO: But you said 1.7 years.
RECRUITER: Yes.
TACO: You see my difficulty.
RECRUITER: Sir are you interested?
TACO: How many days are in 1.7 years?
RECRUITER: *click*

Kidzookie vs. the Troglodytes
Tomorrow is my son's first day of 3rd grade. He's currently upstairs crying because he'll go back to being bored, primarily because they don't let him read difficult enough books. I'm simultaneously proud and depressed as fuck.
