“What? tomorrow you say? REALLY? Could you not have called me earlier today warning me that i should clear my calender and wait for your narrow arses? I just got mine home!”
“Yes, we have this conference starting at 9 am tomorrow in Mombasa and would like the materials to be on the 8 am flight, so we shall require you to rubber stamp it now!”
“Fuck! What are we going to do? Its just not possible, we do not run a photocopying outfit you know.”
“We understand that, but could you just help us out this one time?”
“You said that last week when you had that conference in Nyeri! We do run an authentic rubber stamping operation here for fuck’s sake. It does take a while to do the work you are presenting, do you have the CD?”
“Its on its way, the driver is just about to leave the office.”
“Then what in bloody hell are you doing at MY office? I thought you had the work in question with you!”
“There were a number of last minute changes.”
“Changes? ……. Ignore the question. I am on my way, it had better get there before i do or there shall be hell to pay!”
….3 hours later…1 hour after i had arrived back at the office…
“What happened to the CD? Did your driver get lost or mugged as he made his way here?”
“No, there were a few further changes but he is almost here with the disc now, in fact here he comes now.”
Needless to say the disc had errors and quite a number of hours later we were yet to start the job in question. Is there any wonder half my hair is resident in my keyboard?
**for those who are wondering, we do swear worse in the office, this is the clean version. Then there is this….submissions …..thing at the end of next week that has ensured all my clients have dumped large reams of paper on my desk to be prepared before Monday, its not looking good for Bar Camp! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

I know the feeling. I’m at my desk early on a Saturday morning, with no prospects of a weekend because someone gave me a last minute, suddenly “urgent” piece of work.
June 21st, 2008 at 11:50 am
I don’t know that feeling at all, well I don’t if you relate it to actual work I am paid to do. Poor 31337

barcamp was good…its was so informal and for me that was the good part of it…
it can be nice to work in an office where u actually swear..just let it all out..if this is the watered version though..i wonder how the unedited version sounds like

barcamp rocked major, even if half the time i was floating about like casper the ghost. it was good to finally put faces to voices and it was brilliant. hope to keep on interacting, twittering and so forth….
the chai samosas and cake were delicious.
a lovely week to you all!!
