Work Psychosis . . . a micro case study

Part of an email exchange with a co-worker:

Frustrated Co-worker: How many times do I have to re-ghost this frickin' machine to install this shit?

Me, attempting to be helpful: "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind."
Is that the end of that verse? ;-)

FCW: I was thinking along the same lines.

"Up against the wall, m-f-er!"

Oops. Sorry. That's something else. Same era, though.

Damn this [Acronym] crap. Damn it to hell!

[Acronym]! It's . . . people!

Sorry.

Not quite sure what I'm channelling here.

Thomas J. Anderson. That was Neo's name, by the way. Just came to me now.

They must have changed something.

It's a trap!

I need an exit.
