The hairy knuckles of this man was such a big visual focus for me, it just said everything about his demeanor and his confidence in his position. Fist bumps were really big in 2008, unfortunately.
I still feel such a pang of real pain on Park's behalf here. Not just that the interview doesn't go well in this "racist microaggressions" way, but that the fairytale of Working For A Serious Respectable Law Firm is falling apart. I'm in academia and most parts of the gig are pretty great, but there's a lot less tweed and poetry recitation than I had daydreamed of, and it does feel sometimes that the folks with seniority who set the tone are missing a real opportunity.

Actually felt bad for Park here. He's still a dick, tho. 🙂

His smile and optimism, gon… well I'm not sure how much optimism he had before but certainly his smile.

That clipboard clacking onto the desk is soul shattering.

Hey now, I like fist bumps. More hygenic than a handshake, and you can do the explosion thing
