We Hired Someone to Solve Your Problems
Dear Level Readers,
We know there are many issues you don’t have the bandwidth to fix. You’re adapting to life in a pandemic, teaching your children between Zoom conference calls, and struggling to find time to take in all the content that comes up in your feeds and streaming service queues.
What if I told you LEVEL has a guy who can research your problems and get back to you with clear, well-researched answers? Would that be useful? I’m going to be presumptuous and say you’re checking the YES box.
The column is called Lemme Get Back to You. If you have things that need an urgent solve shoot us an email: lemmegetbacktoyou@gmail.com. If you have things that don’t need an urgent solve, drop us a line anyway. There’s no dumb questions (well, except who had the hottest verse on Noreaga’s “Banned From TV,” and the other non-pressing discussions we explore every day in our recurring feature Just Rankin’ Sh!t).
Here’s an example. Right now I have a coffee problem. I throw a pod into the machine, wait for caffeine to hit my mug, and take it to whatever room I’m working from. Within ten minutes, that coffee goes cold. Have you seen the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry tests out those coffee warmers at his spite store Latte Larry’s? Is that gadget a real thing? Can I get it in purple and gold?
The answer — if I’m doing the digging myself — is a nice-to-have. Not a priority. So I’ll submit my Q from my personal account and hope it gets answered one of these Thursdays. If it doesn’t, I’ll still be getting smarter every week learning from your queries. If anyone is in touch with The Only Black Guy in the Office, please have him submit a question regarding this. I think there’s an easy solve there.
