ella and i sit next to each other now. i think that might have been one of the biggest mistakes the company ever made. we chat constantly like 3rd graders. i keep waiting for drew, the art director, to scream, “will you two shut the fuck up!!”

so far he has controlled himself admirably.

today i made ella cry. i thought for sure drew was gonna snap. i was telling lisa and ella about the horrifying “best in show” nightmare and the terrifying midget cheerleader dream. ella laughed for 20 minutes. she laughed until people had to come over to see what she was laughing about. she laughed until her throat hurt and tears ran from her eyes. then she laughed some more.

anyway. . . ella and my chat powers were used toward good tonight. we got the final build of a new product. one that is supposed to launch soon. so we’re sitting at our desks playing nicely with the new product. when it breaks. we kept getting this strange error message.

so i go bug tech support and haul one of the doofs over. he’s amazed and dumbfounded. then the product manager gets involved. he’s amazed and pissed off. then the release manager gets involved. she goes ballistic and stops the presses.

someone’s ass is grass tomorrow. this stuff was supposed to be tested before it reaches final build.

ella and i found a bug. we rule!
