The Joy's of Work I.M.

Here is a classic example of why I love I.M. at work. Sitting in cubicles really has its advantages sometimes!

(Matthew - this is IM where spelling does not count so keep it to yourself)

Scene - Datamark on a long cold afternoon. The temp girl sitting by Josh is yelling at her husband about not quiting his job because is mad over something - they need the tuition reimbursement:

Josh says: This girl next to me talks really loud---my ears are bleeding
Lindsay Jane says: lol
Lindsay Jane says: ya and who is she fighting with?
Josh says: she doesn't talk--she screams man--I think she's bitching out her hubby--hang on let me eavesdrop
Lindsay Jane says: she is very belittling
Lindsay Jane says: oh ya....it is her husband
Josh says: It might just be me, but I think here husband is not so smart
Josh says: dummy maybe
Lindsay Jane says: i agree
Lindsay Jane says: ya...don't quit your job dude....not smart
Lindsay Jane says: she sounds like his mom
Josh says: don't cry
Lindsay Jane says: no...i want to see the tears...cry
Lindsay Jane says: cry, cry,cry

(Josh gets a call on his cell phone from his wife)
Lindsay Jane says: can you please be quite....i can't hear when you talk!
Josh says: should I go to the shop?
Lindsay Jane says: yes!
Lindsay Jane says: it is getting good!
Josh says: my wife is wrecking everything!
Josh says: she called
Josh says: ok, she is whispering now---let me see what I can find out

(I leave to talk with Eric)
