Sometimes after This is my next Office closes at five o'clock every afternoon Josh locks the door, draws the shades, and brings out a ceramic urn of the good stuff. The good, good old stuff that he needs a telescoping ladder to get to. The urn has an ancient The Verge logo on it. He gently sets three Swarovski snifters on his great-grandfather's red oak inlay card table, hacks three formidable chunks from This is my next Ice Block, and uses his great-great-grandfather's iTongs to clink the chunks deliberately into the snifters. Paul and Nilay glance at each other knowingly. The tape recorder clicks on. Then, a knock at the door: a feminine outline, with three laptops under each arm. Suddenly, Friday has become a little more interesting.
