Me: Oh nooo…..damn, damn, damn
SNC: What now?
Me: Another concall at a weird time…I work on a 24-hour IdeaSmith time zone now

Me: Yeah and I’m groaning over deadlines in another time zone

SFOS: Again? Why do you always end up with these?
Me: My sweet accommodating nature I suppose. All these lawaaris projects end up on my table.
SNC: You’re the Mother Teresa of company projects!
