Just heard in the office



  • I was in the office of a coworker, when his office mate (a sales drone) and the project lead were going at it:

    Sales Drone: this feature (of our application) doesn't seem to work as expected
    Project Lead: we know - we don't know why
    SD: What's it supposed to do
    PL: It's supposed to ...
    SD: But it doesn't do that
    PL: I know
    SD: When will it do what it's supposed to do?
    PL: I don't know
    SD: Who does? (perfectly reasonable IMHO)
    PL: Nobody (this guy is truly a walking zombie)
    SD: How am I supposed to come across (to the customers) as informed if
    I don't know what it's supposed to do, or when it will be fixed?

    At this point, both myself and my peer walked out, choking back the laughter. I'd expect the SD to be clueless, but the PL?!

    "Soon."

    "Yes, now."

    "Now happens now."

    "When?"

    "Now."

    "What about before?"

    "You just missed it."

    No, go PAST this, past this part!

    In fact.

    I thought Who's on First, I don't know on Third and Nobody is the right fielder :)



  • I love the fact that this thread turned into a Spaceballs quote-fest.

    You're number Six.

    I'm so very pleased I'm not the only one who knows about Number 6.
