On propriety.

A few days back, a colleague sent the following e-mail to members of the staff:

Colleagues,

The projectors in these rooms are not working well:

We have raised the matter to [redacted] to help us resolve the problem as the vendor is not co-operating with us.

I felt like clicking on ‘Reply to All’ and sending this image to everyone:

Did anyone say... vendors not co-operating?

Unfortunately, I was worried my point would’ve been lost. So I did this instead:

Delete.

In other news, I’m thinking of setting up a Tumblr called “Things I Wish I Could Say In Public But Can’t Because Of The Need to Be Socially Appropriate”.

For obvious reasons, I can’t provide you with a sampling of the fare that can be on offer. However, if this Tumblr is indeed created, it definitely wasn’t me.

In other, other news: WAR PIGS! (Or their contemporaries, FIRE PIGS!)
