For once, not mine. I know you're happy to go home early but Clef won't stop chewing my ear off about the noise. Is it really necessary to create in such a loud environment? You're making my environment louder.

Was it necessary to CC him on that? Is this a departmental war?

It is if he's going to start going over my head now. I just thought I'd take a more direct approach to the problem.

That's the most passive-aggressive direct approach I've ever seen.

Subject: You have complaints, you say?
No, passive-aggressive would be if I complained to you about it without CC'ing him as though expecting you to act as a go-between.

He made it clear that he'd spoken to you about it before.
Look, I'm leaving in an hour. Keep it down until then.
Actually, what are you guys doing in there, anyway?

Subject: It's a shame there does not exist a device that would allow you to communicate instantly, such as by voice, while keeping your hands free to do other things.
He has, and I have been doing everything in my power to resolve the issue, but unfortunately there is no money in the departmental budget for ball gags and I am hesitant to resort to disciplinary action for what amounts to "talking too loudly."
I'll do my best.
Nothing above and beyond the usual, but collaboration can be said to be the sake to the onigiri that is creativity and the deadline for most of our projects is this coming Friday. So there's simply been a bit of commotion and running around by all parties.

If you don't quit talking about food, I'm going to come down and steal your lunch.
