HAPPYish
Thom Payne, a 44-year-old man, finds his orderly world upended when his 25-year-old 'wunderkind' boss arrives, punctuating conversations with references to 'digital,' 'social,' and 'viral.' Is he in need of a 'rebranding,' or has he simply hit a 'low joy ceiling'? Perhaps pursuing happiness is a fool's errand. After all, happiness is a pretty high bar. In a world as absurd as ours, perhaps the best anyone can hope for is happyish.
