"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I just had a woman reply to an email I send out after the meeting where I schedule requests. In the email I paste the portion of the tracking doc to show when everything was scheduled.

Her email was asking when a particular request was scheduled. Not only that, but it was the second request on the list.

I get that people might not open and review the spreadsheet which is why I paste the list in the body of the email. But now people are so fucking lazy they can't be bothered to LOOK at the email? Not even read it all the way through, just have your eyeballs on it for like 5 fucking seconds.

Wow...that got rantier than I meant it to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wired cites erinaceous and mentions word-saving. I'm a little disappointed that I know what a couple of the ones he lists mean.

Apparently I have meetings back to back until 5. And reports to generate. Uhuh. It's not like the web is going to surf itself, people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would totally reply, "Oh, did the full email not come through? It should all be right there for you!"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The beefcake barely even qualifies as well-marbled. Hrrmph.

Why did the word I wanted to adopt have to mean "discharging urine"?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

But there's nothing else in the body of the email. As in she would have had to have not gotten anything and then there wouldn't have been anything for her to reply to.

Also, her reply had the original email in it. I wish I could show you guys because it's epic in its stupidity.

Yeah, I figure my email actually says, Are you too much of a jackass to have seen what I already sent you? ;) lol

And which is, in fact, 2 inches below your dumbass question.

You have to remember the "lol" and/or emoticon. That makes it friendly!
