Well, that was weird...

So I finally get one of the partners to allow me access to his laptop for five minutes. When I arrive at his office he tells me to come in and shut the door.

He moves to the other side of his desk to allow me access so I can figure out why I can’t see his machine in my SMS console. I’m not really paying attention to him because I just want to figure out the problem, fix it and get the fark out of there. About a minute of silence goes by before he gets up and says, “I have to leave, watching you work is too distracting.” Before I can even reply, he’s gone.

WTF? His tone of voice wasn’t mean or anything. Actually, it was quite matter-of-fact.

I’m so glad it’s Friday. On my way home today, I’m picking up a six-pack of something potent.

At least I can see his machine in the SMS console now…

Matter-of-factly?

Are you looking stylish today? Maybe he thought you were looking good.

Eew. Regardless, that would unsettle me if someone said that. I can understand how he might not want to sit and watch you work (I feel that way when someone’s installing/upgrading on my PC - feel bad watching YOU work).

But I’m right there with ya on the Friday thing. Isn’t the day over yet?
