But first, a conversation:
Coworker #1 (on seeing me check my phone for text messages): I don't think I have your number.
Me: I have yours, though. I'll send you a text, grab my number off of that.
Coworker #1: Awesome, thanks. Is that a new phone?
Me: No, but I'm stuck with it for a while. I am not a fan of the interface, but it was the cheapest no-frills text-enabled phone they had. Is yours a Blackberry?
Coworker #1: No, it's an Android -- no, that was my last phone. This is a Google phone thing.
Me: A Google phone thing. Is that the technical term? (looks it over) Hey, it's pretty light compared to my phone.
Coworker #1: (tests my phone) Yours feels about the same.
Coworker #1: (to Coworker #2): Hey, which one of these feels lighter to you?
Me: Wait, we don't know if he's calibrated. We have to use a calibrated weighing device to be an adequate judge of heft. Are you calibrated?
Coworker #2 (scoffing): My wife says I'm definitely not.
In other news, I forgot to mention page count yesterday, but I was unfortunately distracted. In any case, now that I have shit under control at work (but there's other stuff that came at me out of the blue) and I can report progress.
I stress that no one should get excited about the page count. There's at least three sections that I have to fix and one major global thing to sort out, and that's gonna take time to sort out/rewrite/fix/patch up/sweep under the carpet and hope no one notices.
