Major Disaster: A vignette from my day

April 21, 2005

A vignette from my day

(The telephone rings. Caller ID indicates it is my colleague C)

Me: Helloooo.

C: How long have you been here?

Me: Shit! I forgot to respond to your email. Sorry about that.

C: Wha...? Uh, this is C.

Me: Yeah, I know.

C: ...?

Me: Oh! You mean how long have I worked here?

C: Yeah...you know, for that thing I'm writing for you?

Me: Ha ha! I thought you were pissed because I've been here all day and never answered your email!

C: What email?

Me: Nothing. Nevermind.

(And...scene.)
