Stuff You Might Hear If You Visit Me at Work
"I had BlackBeth's bagels for lunch."
"I like your pants."
(exasperated and in disbelief) "Why would you do that?"
Someone walks into my cube and asks me a question. After a minute I realize they're there. (I almost always have headphones on so I can concentrate.) I glance up, tap my white board, and go back to work. The white board says, "PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB!" (Editors note: It's pretty rare for me to put that note up, but when I do, I mean it. Unless of course you're my boss or someone else of importance. Or I want something from you.)
"Do you have any documentation on..."
"Hahahahahahahahaha....I'm sorry, you wanted documenation on what?"
"What's the name of (insert client's name here) server? How do you connect to them?"
"Have you seen my new shoes?"
My boss: "That shirt looks nice on you."
Me (warily): "Thanks. What do you want?"
"You've got to be kidding me!"
"What the marshmallows don't understand is..."
"This build is younger than my children. I don't know how well it's gonna work." (His children were born a week ago Thursday.)
