[quote]This is the story of [b]Dave, the bug fixer.[/b]
Dave is sitting in his office, coffee warm, knuckles just recently cracked, ready for the inevitable post-patch bug to fix.
[b]"Wonder what it will be today!"[/b] Dave contemplates.
Dave's door is burst open. In walks Cozmo.
[b][i]"Dave, we've another problem with boot engrams!"[/i][/b]
"No problem!" shouts Dave. Dave is excited to fix the bug, he's just recently fixed a boot bug, so this is a cinch.
[b]*5 minutes pass* [/b]
Dave's door, again, is thrown open. This time, more forceful. In struts DeeJ.
[b][i]"Dave! Players are getting booted at the end of a race! ...I think. They were vague on the matter."[/i][/b]
[b]*sigh*[/b]
Dave turns on his second monitor. Dave is now decoding and fixing two bugs at once, he hasn't had this much pressure since Vanilla. His coffee just emptied, he begins to drink an exclusive Red Bull™ (Red Bull gives you wings)
[b]*5 minutes pass*[/b]
A third time, Dave's door is belligerently thrust open. It's on the hinges now. Luke Smith stands in the opening, panting.
[b][i]"Da-Dave. *pant, pant* Ev-*pant* Eververse is B-*panttttt*ugged. Players are get-ting f-*pant*-re-*pant*-e silver items. Please fi-*faints*[/i][/b]
Dave is practically steaming now. He hits the primary emergency button. A third monitor, with a foot accessible keyboard rises out of the floor. Dave begins to work on all three bugs at once, the emergency Red Bull™ (Red Bull gives you wings) shower turns on. Dave is covered in the stuff, [b]and he loves it.[/b]
Dave's door is completely blown off of the hinges. In walks Jon.
[b][i]"Dave, we have forgotten to include the correct sandbox changes. Pl-"[/i][/b]
[b]*Dave flips his table, Red Bull and monitors everywhere*[/b]
Words are spoken by Dave I couldn't explain even if I wanted to.
Cozmo looks to DeeJ, who looks to the fainted Luke, whose foot is touching Jon's leg. DeeJ speaks up:
[b][i]"I'll just tell them it was a typo."[/i][/b][/quote]
all credit to PONETHEPOON

Absolutely genius...
-
Having family and friend in IT this sounds very close to a bad day at the office for them....for one of them it usually ends the same way too. Very funny.
-
"Credit"? It seems like you'd be doing PONETHEPOON a solid if you avoided associating his or her name with this.

That was a great read, and as I commented to that particular person earlier, my favorite part was easily: [quote]"Da-Dave. *pant, pant* Ev-*pant* Eververse is B-*panttttt*ugged. Players are get-ting f-*pant*-re-*pant*-e silver items. Please fi-*faints*[/quote]
