Because I work at an internet company, we are encouraged to communicate via AIM so as to be able to multitask with whatever we’ve already got on the screen and to collaborate with other people who are attached to a project.
Sometimes, however, it will get out of hand:
Lauren: i also suspect that “Ding dong el timbre suena” is not proper spanish
Me: really? damn, i use that all the time
Me: i must sound like a buffoon
Lauren: i use it too! all over glassell park
Me: maybe this explains the ungodly amount of sex solicitations i get from puerto rican boys
Lauren: ay poppy!
Additionally, we are encouraged to stay up to date on the latest YouTube viral videos, internet phenomena, RSS feeds for stuff in which we are genuinely interested, and any kind of shortcut helper applications.
Yeah, you wish you had my job.
