Laugh Out Loud

if you have a few minutes to read this, i promise, you will not regret it.

i will do a short explanation of what's going on before we get into it:

there are a few rad people that i work with, that like to chat. we chat about anything and everything. there is always something to chat about. work stuff. people stuff. you know...stuff. 

there is one person that we work with that has been assigned to be the mentor of all of the supervisors on our floor. she is in charge of making sure that things get done. she is a 'pusher' if you will. she is to push us to get assignments done and make a change for good. which okay, that sounds like a great idea. but i digress.

we supervisors get tickets which are technical issues with our system, or escalated customers that need to speak with someone 'higher up'. they sit in an inbox until we complete them.

myself and a few of mentioned friends, get our tickets done in a timely manner, as we should. because why? it's our job. the mentor, not so much. so we believe that she needs to work on her own work, before she should be 'pushing' us to do ours. it only makes sense, right?

soooooooo, i get this IM the other day when i get to my computer after lunch. and i almost died. here goes...the following is the chat correspondence i had with a friend...
