How's Hiro doing, anyway?

Pretty good. My job rocks. So I'm doing this survey, and this guy is on the other end, and I ask him his job, he says "Food service." Booooring. As instructed by supervisor, I ask for more details, he says, "Pizza delivery."

Making idle conversation as I type it in, I note that every time I hear that job description, I think of the book Snow Crash.

The guy practically freaks out: "YOU'VE read SNOW CRASH!?!?!" He'd read it in college, evidently, and we shared a few cracks based on his status.

I'm in the middle of the world's biggest sync storm..

Did he have swords, too? :)

I didn't ask about that.

But my buddy That Idiot Shawn did. He was also a pizza delivery guy.

I understand his reaction. Casually meeting somebody who makes reference to Snow Crash always makes my day.

I had to. He was a Deliverator.
