Wait, how long has it been since you guys put out a post?
About two weeks, but there were a few in queue.
So, no new content in two weeks?
About that.
About that? How long has it been?
Three weeks. Ish.
Ish. Tell you what. I’m going to seriously reevaluate your program, and you should warn your people that heads will roll.
Look, I know it seems like we’ve been less productive, but it’s hard to bring people into this style scheme.
Style scheme? Hyperbolous sentence fragments? Describing sage brush for three paragraphs? That’s a difficult style?
Well, there’s the over wrought metaphor and confusing dialog punctuation…
What dialog punctuation?!
I know!
Look. It isn’t just you, I’m about to go light a fire under the comment leaving team. We haven’t done more than peruse Google Reader in months. This whole organization is in bad shape. Shit is rolling downhill and corporate wants to know that effort is being made in every one of those rathole cubicles down on the floor. We need production. This is not high literary art. This is a goddamn blog. Not even a real blog. There’s no news, there’s no gossip, there’s no current events of any kind. It is just esoteric ramble and obscurata. Get on it. Or I’ll find someone who will.
Yes, sir.
Clear outta here, I have a meeting scheduled with Murray from the Flickr update department. That one isn’t going to be pretty either.
Yes, sir.
Hey.
Yeah?
You know I’m just doing my job getting on you, right?
I know, sir.
Knock that sir stuff off. We’re all just trying to keep our jobs. Make sure your people know that, OK?
Ok.
Lunch this week, sound good?
Yes, sir.
Good.
in defense of your sluggardly team? all of europe is on fucking holiday during the month of july… i’m not saying that your content is euro-dependent, but it sure makes it hard to write knowing that so many people are hapily fucking off while you’re supposed to be doing something…

Ha! Sounds like a conversation I had with myself the other day. But it didn’t end as politely as Yes Sir.

DaisyFae: I’m pretty sure all my outsourcing is in minor service sectors and they got OS to Mexico.
Cléa: Then you need to snap those minions in line. I’m sure you have your means.

so you’re a split personality – part corporate/part team?

[...] the word maybe? But you’re doing it now. OK. Stop gloating. You’re copying him, aren’t you? He’s inspired the voices in my head. You should be grateful. And ‘copy’ is the wrong word. You and your [...]
