2:08 PM Michael: ive been informed that the deadline for energy benchmarking has been extended to august
2:09 PM me: Alright, then. What does this mean?
2:10 PM Is this good news or bad news? Or neutral news..
Michael: it's actually kind of good news
because we have gotten just the one and only job
2:11 PM so this tells us that the lack of business is not our (my) fault but apparently people just don't know about it
I've got a performance review coming up any day now
i had to submit a self evaluation
2:12 PM which i scored very well on, btw..
so I'm hoping that this can be some kind of leverage
or at least show that my usefulness could theoretically extend beyond may 1st
2:14 PM me: That sounds pretty legitimate for leverage. Glad to hear you scored well on your evaluation of yourself.
Michael: haha
exceeded expectations right down the line
whoda thunk
me: sometimes i think you know yourself too well
2:15 PM Michael: its good to know i can still surprise myself with just how exemplary i perform my job
i think i went a little too far on this description
Michael: ensuring
me: for such an insignificant item
Michael: sorry
2:17 PM thats one that i catch a lot
me: oy vey
thanks
Michael: haha
this is great
me: i don't pay attention to any grammar or spelling really.
Michael: To boot, the keychain makes it easy to carry along anywhere, and with 2 bright LED lights, you can check your tire pressure practically anywhere, anytime.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT HAS LIGHTS
2:18 PM me: haha
indeed, it does.
Michael: i meant to comment on the nintendo wii controllers
thats a pretty great deal!
me: i think it is.
2:19 PM they are pretty legit for knock offsa
Michael: oh really?
i thought they were the real thing
i wasn't sure if there are like...generic controllers for the wii or not
oh by the way
2:20 PM i just remembered this
the band devotchka
who i think i remember you being a bit into
are playing some place in brooklyn tonight
me: huh
i'll check into that
2:21 PM $30 tix that are sold out
Michael: you should go and wear the sound equalizer tshirt
oh damn
thats a bit much
even if they werent sold out
me: they are selling like crazy
2:22 PM Michael: its pretty awesome honestly
and for 10 bucks
cant beat it
me: Spy with style, and take your surreptitious fantasies to the next level with the 8GB Stylish Men's Spy Watch Hi-Resolution Pin-Hole Video Camera.
is this too creepy? i think it's kind of funny
2:23 PM Michael: haha
surreptitious fantasies
sounds sexy
me: i know
i figure that's what sells, right?
2:24 PM it might be too upfront and deter people by kind of judging them
2:25 PM Michael: i figure if you are into spying then you aren't particualrly easily detered
what with all the skulking around and waiting in the shadows and whatnot
2:26 PM me: Heh. that sounds about right.
(as you place an order for one...)
2:27 PM Michael: dont judge. I can hear you judging because I have your shit wired.
that's how i roll
2:28 PM me: i kind of want one. it's just it requires a lot of endurance, reading through a poorly translated and complicated manual
like all of our spy stuff
Michael: remember those puzzle balls you could get in 25 cent machines?
2:29 PM i remember one time i got one and it came with (poorly translated) instructions and it said "throw it at the ground and watch it decompose!"
my family still pulls that out every now and again
me: haha
2:30 PM that's so good.
i'll have to send a picture of one of these descriptions on the music playing computer mouse with built in microphone
2:32 PM Michael: you know
that watch is pretty creepy
i mean
what else would you possibly use that for other than upskirts
2:33 PM unless your a confidential informant or something
youre*
2:39 PM me: basically, that's what it's for.
that's why i decided to call it out in the description
we have sooo much spy shit
2:40 PM because people buy that shit up
hey--i have to get back to work...
i'll be around.
2:41 PM Michael: alright, have a good rest of the day
talk to you soon
