And we received the following e-mail from our boss who is out of town attending a conference:

If you can't get through to me by phone, "text messaging" might be a good alternative. I don’t have an Internet connection, but I can get text messages. Ask "Bob" [our IT manager, not his real name] how to do it.

So of course, we are perplexed and dumbfounded. What is this "text messaging" of which she speaks? You mean those strange and unusual strings of words that sometimes appear on my cell phone? I was under the impression that woodland fairy sprites actually living inside my phone made those appear there.

I have never been able to figure out why the fairies sometimes ask me to "bring home milk" or "meet them by the shoe department," but nevertheless, I feel as though I've personally learned a lot about the miracle of technology today! Hooray!

My guess is that the woodland fairies need to learn that flowers will do wonders in getting their text message requests granted.

I also guess that the woodland fairy that sends Hummer requests is not the same on that sends "meet me in the shoe department" requests. Just a hunch.

"My husband and I were leaving a restaurant after having dinner. As we were walking out, a well endowed young woman wearing a revealing white halter top walked in. My husband took a look at the girl and said, 'hey, let's go back inside.'"

Only she would send these annoying e-mails at 5 p.m. on an extremely stressful deadline day when M and were editing something the boss should have edited 3 weeks earlier.

Another Boss story: This was back when VK worked here. We were discussing posting a link to a podcast called, "How to Open a Podcast." IT guy mentions that the podcast should automatically open if the user is using Windows 2000 or later. Boss is concerned about users with older versions of Windows and that we should write up some step-by-step "how-to" on opening the podcast file. VK and I wanted to say, if you're using an outdated version of Windows, chances are it's pretty ****ing unlikely that you're gonna know or care what a podcast is. :mad:
