VoA

Things I want to stand at a high place and tell all you earthlings.

My message for:

The dude who burst crackers till twelve last night: "Diwali is over. Get over it. Other people have lives to attend to the next morning"

The auto guy who cut across my lane only to find himself face to face with a red signal: Ha!

Ma: Don't worry so much. It scares me.

FOL-1: Don't tell me to settle for second-best. I don't want you judging my intelligence.

N: Danke.

Rach: You think too much. You don't find the perfect puzzle piece that often.

FOL-2: A little emotion now and then wouldn't hurt.

RC: Helping more than you realize. Merci Beaucoup.

P: I want to learn PressPlay.

Varda: Don't forget to gimme ur 3rd copy of Rackham.

Miss alcoholic drink: See more. Do more.

N and P and 'Oh' so much in between!

N: Da, when can we see that on staging?
P: In a bit.
N: Can we check on staging now? Ask P.
A: P, can we check on staging?
P: In a bit.
A: P says In a bit.
P: Check now.
A: He says we can check now.
N: OK. Come down.

After frantic testing and 2 e-mails later..

A: P, why is this behaving this way?
P: Did you clear cache?
A: I did.
P: I'll look into it.
A: N, its acting strange.
N: Did you clear cache?
A: Yes I did.

P turns back to realize A and N looming behind him.

After many 'Ctrl+S's and selections later,

P: Oh. This was always behaving this way.
N: You mean to say live users are using this?!?!
P: Yeah. Actually see, this situation makes a lot of sense. We don't even need to rectify it if you ask me.
N (Incredulously): No da. That is not possible. Client facing requirements....
P: Are you telling me that not one person on earth will use our product without that feature?*

After twenty minutes:
A: Da, when can we see that on staging?

A comic situation for United Features Syndicate. Just another day at VSIPL.
