the executive conversation resumes
S: G, i really don't know why you need a morale booster-

G: (mimes gunshot suicide)

S: - we've got all these big deals, big names, all these potential clients.

G: Yeah, and for all i know, you just made it all up. The only way i'll know is if i log into the database and inspect the client transactions, and i really don't want to do that.

S: (mockingly) G, are you telling me that you're an old bitter man now? That nothing will satisfy you but cold hard cash, in [ourCompany]'s bank account, or yours?

G: Um...maybe.

S: (laughs) You know, we talked about whether we should offer you two the money, buy you out of school or not, wreck your lives.

G: And it's true!

C: HAHAHAHA

S: I was reasonably comfortable with you taking a year off school, with the money and the risk...but G, this idea that we've turned you into O before your 25th birthday, i have to admit, that bothers me a little bit. I can't believe we broke you so easily.

C: HAHAHAHA

S: See, the problem is, we're going to be really rich soon...

J: (raises eyebrow)

S: ...like i promised joe the mechanic on the phone...

G: (muttering) Never promised me that.

S: ...and you won't be around to enjoy it.

G: That's right. I'll be in the crazy house, and N will be spending all my money.

N: EXACTLY.


posting a release
G approaches the Non-Development half of the office, neck and back unbroken, but sore. A brief consultation with the CEO ensues after a long series of minor bug fixes and small technical breakdowns.
G: S, i need a morale booster.

...
S: Why?

monday continues

scene 1: heading to Shoppers Drug Mart
J: So have you ever marked your timesheet for going to Shoppers?
G: No, man. We're only gone for 10, 15 minutes. And they eat all our food that we pay for.
J: Yeah, me neither. So look, we spend $5 at Shoppers, but we're gone 10 minutes so it evens out.
N: Maybe for YOU it evens out.
J: Oh. Right.
N: And you still owe me $4! Bitch!
G: Right, so you should always pay for Shoppers.
J: Haha, fine :)
N: (turns and punches G in the back)
G: AAAAAAA freaking guy, i'm gonna get whiplash!
N: (calmly to J) Yeah, so you know what's on sale today?
scene 2: 'Tastes of Canada' Lays chips
N: 99 cents, how can you go wrong?
J: True. Yo, let's just get a whole box.
G: Exactly. How bad can they be?
J: Should we open one first?
N: Pft, no. Forget that.
J: (picking up crate) Oh wait, this box has the price sheet on it.
N: So get this one. No man, switch the bags...it fits 16.
J: Can't fit more. Just take 12.
G: No regular chips?
J: Hell no.
scene 3: Headed home (with three clients in the office)
Cashier: There's a 6 bag limit.
J: Fine. I'll take six, and he'll take six.
G: Haha :)
J: (walking back holding a crate of chips) Yo, these better not suck.
G: Who cares. Just eat it in the morning...i'm so hungry i'll freaking eat anything.
O: (sitting at the office entrance) Is that a BOX of chips?
G: (straight-faced) Yup.
J: (holding box over client's head) Excuse me.

day after woes. N is sore. G's back is acting up and his neck is 'broken'. J is fine.
N: OK, you don't understand. After tomorrow, it's going to be OVER.
J: Why?
N: Because i'm freaking TIRED, guy.
J: Why?
N: Because i was running harder than you were.
G: OK, this guy, OK? He stands there watching this ball going to him, just yelling "DEEP! DEEP!", and then it hits the fence and then he goes after it.
N: HAHA
J: Dude, i thought it was going to centre. I'm blind.
N: Right, so anyway, tonight is floor hockey, which is 20 times worse, and THEN practice? I don't think i'm coming to work the next day.
J: Pft...monkey.
N: (turns to G) OK, so let me punch you in the back.
