This one needs a little ’splainin. First off, I’ll start off by saying I had a pretty caca day today. It started with a plugged eardrum and a shot of Astelin up my nose (which I like to call ASStelin..ugh. Tastes SO bad..) and just in general, the mood was pretty low. Eventually it became time to go home from work, when I noticed someone talking on the other side of my cubicle. To themselves (FYI; on the other side of my cubicle lies the community scanner, where everyone comes to do their imaging). So here I am, staring at the computer, just waiting for the day to end when suddenly I hear: "I’m so mad." I take a quick peek over the top of my cubicle and realize its a frustrated employee trying to get the scanner to work. Ok, that happens. No biggie. A few minutes later I hear, "WHY WONT YOU WORK?!" in a progressively angrier voice. Wow, this is starting to get funny cuz that poor bastard doesn’t realize that just over the wall is my lonely cubicle and I can hear everything he’s saying. I sensed things were getting bad cuz the scanner started to make unpleasant noises and Mr. Grumpy angrily shuffled papers around. Thats when the F bomb was thrown. "FUCK—YOU" said Mr. Grumpy. At this moment I frantically searched for my camera thinking I could film this tirade, but at that moment Mr. Grumpy got up and left, leaving a mumbly trail of obscenities behind him. I only hoped he’d come back after a frustration break. And… he did. He only lasted 2 minutes though; enough for me to hear him snipe "I shouldnt have wasted all my time!!", growl (literally; there was an audible "Grrr!"), and take this picture. So thats my story. After that whole scene, my day turned out not to be so bad after all. I dedicate this song to Mr. Grumpy.
ha, it looks like you have an elevated cubicle or something. Also, I wonder what would have happened if your camera made one of those fake shutter noises and he noticed in the middle of his frustrating experience.
Hi Jon,
i was prepared for the ‘fake shutter’ noise cuz thats indeed what my camera does. I couldnt get rid of it manually so I did the ol “cough” while snapping the photo. Dont worry; being the catastrophist that I am, I already thought of all the embarassing and potentially explosive things that might happen if the shutter sound was detected…
