I have known my manager for more than 6 years. He is still using an old-fashioned weird keyboard. I don't know if it is because of the keyboard or some sub-conscious thing, he keeps on missing the "k" in look. Read the following IM:


WQ: Matt, the XX file is corrupted again.

Matt: Ok, I will take a loo

k

WQ: OMG, it's the second time this is happening!

Matt: what? the second time the file is corrupted? or?

WQ: NO! you missing the 'k'!

Matt: haha. I know. sorry about that. Oh, try this: xxxxxxx (some technical mumbo jumbo).

WQ: Thanks. Now you can go take a loo!

Matt: lol. brb


He didn't really leave the computer. 5 mins later:


WQ: Hey, Matt, are you back from the bathroom yet? It didn't work. 

Matt: oh, really? let me take another loo

WQ: , you either need to drink less water, or change your keyboard!!!


On the other hand, I have my own share of embarrassment. The other day:


WQ: Matt, I need to log off early today. The gardener is here. I need to go to homedepot to buy something called Gasser. It's a bomb thing that can get rid of the golfer in the backyard. 

Matt: Golfer? wow, Tiger Woods in your backyard?

WQ:  oh, sorry, it's gofer. I thought there is a "L" there. 

Now I just realized it should have been "gopher", thanks to 冲浪!
