we suck


Work's slowed down a bit, so I was over talking with the QA guy on MSN. He's in a bit of a lull too, waiting on a build. So he goes

[15:15] .: man
[15:15] .: I'm still starving
[15:15] .: what's there to eat

Yes, that is really his display name.

[15:16] Me: Peanut M&Ms?
[15:16] .: booo

No, that's not my MSN display name. Anyway, I'd had lunch, but I'm always up for food-related hanging out opportunities. Wendy's is traditional for these problems. So's Taco Bell. Neither of these were my ideas, but I decide to suggest the lesser evil.

[15:16] Me: I wouldn't be opposed to a Wendy's run...
[15:17] .: hmmm...
[15:19] .: alrighty
[15:19] .: let's do it
[15:19] Me: Okay!
[15:20] .: I need sustenance!
[15:20] Me: All right. Give me a minute. I'll meet you by the door.
[15:20] .: gotcha
[15:20] Me: hold on. David's here.

David being the Docs guy. He'd come over to ask me a few questions about release note things. That took a few minutes, but it is sorted out painlessly.

[15:32] Me: Okay! We're good.
[15:32] .: uhhh...
[15:32] .: gimme a sec

I go over anyway to re-emphasize the "we're good"-ness. But he is busy with something so I tell him to meet me by the door again. I go to the washroom, he checks the door and went back to his desk. I go to his desk and get him again. We finally make it out the door.

"Okay, where's the car?" he asks.

"Uh, I walked."

"Dammit."
