::immediately emails:: "Asplenia, is everything okay??? Do you need me to take off work and come get you?"I just developed a nervous tic. DUDE ALL I SAID WAS "brb" -- not "I'M SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTING"! ::headdesk::
I know time slows down for people who use a computer and have too much coffee, but seven minutes, WHILE PLENTY OF TIME TO ROB A BANK, is not anywhere near enough time for anything to happen in a government job.

ReplyDeleteNot a reason to hate chat. Reason to hate unstable obsessed people.
If someone doesn't understand "brb" protocol, then they have no business chatting. Don't hate chat-- hate chat with this clueless person.
ReplyDeleteSo many things I could say about this... First, anyone who names their child Them has serious issues. 2nd, Them is an idiot. 3rd, yes, the 2nd sentence in the group of 4 sentences in this paragraph are a joke, except for sentence 2 which is by far, true!
