Posted By Russ Emerson on January 10, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Some nights at work don’t go as one might hope.
Bob(14:24:13): Russ
Russ(14:24:31): yo
Bob(14:24:31): could u help me on something please
I’m a pretty helpful guy, so sure, I could help. It’s just what I do. But then:
Bob(14:24:37): not a big deal…
Untruer words were never spoken.
Later… much later… after 5+ hours of wrangling on a conference call:
Bob(19:54:24): i have to step away for a while
Bob(19:55:05): please put a good update in the log
Russ(19:56:22): Easier said than done.
Bob(19:56:34): just like u told them on the phone – perfect
Bob(19:56:41): u speak very well
Russ(19:57:17): Oh ya? Right now a few four-letter words come to mind.
