  • Me: When are we going live with this client?
  • Coworker: Not sure. We're waiting for them to sign the contract.
  • Me: What? Why did you go out and do discovery for 2 days if they haven't signed it?
  • Coworker: It was one of the deliverables.
  • Me: Again, how do you have deliverables if they haven't signed a contract? That doesn't make any sense.
  • Coworker: That's just what happened. In any case, they have to take it to their board of directors to approve.
  • Me: Their board hasn't even LOOKED at it yet?
  • Coworker: No.
  • Me: ~facepalm~

  • Coworker: Eh, takes all kinds.
  • Me: 0_0
  • Me: ...
  • Coworker: You know I'm just kidding, right?
  • Me: ...
  • Me: 0_0
  • Coworker: Stop looking at me like that!
  • Me:
