Bask in the awesomeness.

Vijay (SCI-11624): May I know, do you have BELL business internet account with BELL?
Customer: no, i have a BELL business internet account with ROGERS
Vijay (SCI-11624): I recommend you to contact our BELL business internet department at 1-877-877-SMB (2426)
Customer: SMB = 2426, i guess
Customer: bell, making life better
Vijay (SCI-11624) I recommend you to contact our BELL business internet department at 1-877-877-SMB (2426)
Customer: they don’t have a chat function?
Vijay (SCI-11624) At the moment we don’t have chat support for the same. Customers need to contact them over phone.
Customer: That’s not very helpful.
Vijay (SCI-11624) I do understand. [CustomerName]. We don’t have chat support for business internet department.
Vijay (SCI-11624) So its better you can contact them over phone.
Customer: Not only is it better, it sounds like it’s my only option.

Yes, some one actually drove it.

That’s Jake. Highly amused.

I showed it off to the willing geeks who properly “ooohed” and “aaahed” over it. :D

Later that week I hijacked a Mini Mac from another project in the company (we’re a nearly pure Microsoft/IBM shop) to set it up at my desk and use it for a week or so.

When I returned from Web 2.0 Expo, the following note was stuck to the Mini Mac.

(Mystery Letter)

I still don’t know who wrote it, but I’ve got it pinned up in my cubicle.

Clark, the Canadian Hockey Goalie, a short by George Plamondon (link via blindluck) is hilarious – especially if you’re a goalie.

Watching the short reminded me of a SNL goalie drills video I saw a while back that I absolutely loved. It still cracks me up, even after seeing it for the tenth time.

Two years ago it was just me in the office. Now every time I go to the bathroom, and of course it’s because I’ve waited so long that I really need to go, it’s locked and I end up doing the Pee Pee Dance out in the hallway. I know I’m not the only one — once I’m in the bathroom, I can usually hear a jiggle of the door handle and a groan from outside the door.

I sure hope we get into the new building soon.

The hazards of a growing company. :)

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Making websites like that, to sell your services no less, should be punishable by death.
