Another day at the office

Some conversations I've overheard in the office recently. I can't decide whether it's way over my head or way beneath me. It's certainly not on my level.


- "It's all because of the magic white smoke in the CPU"
- "It's blue smoke, you heathen"


- "Is it a chemistry experiment?"
- "It's called a home-brew kit for a reason"
- "Oh"
(3 differing reactions from people in neighbouring offices to our office beer-making attempts)


"Using the arrow keys in vim insert mode is heresy"


"I got 19% in my networking exam"
(from our network administrator)


- "Can you take a look at this CV and give a rating between 0 and 10"
- "e"
- "OK, give me an integer between 0 and 10"
- "You haven't specified the base"
- "Fuck off"


"Oops, the hedge fund I used to work for just lost £80 million"


"I can't sit there, I don't like sunlight"


"What's Physics Dave's name?"


"Jasper's just not a functional or pictorial programmer, but he could be a decent programmer if he didn't hate it so much"


- "Is the number of elementary particles in the universe finite?"
- "Yes"
- "Do you want to bet a Mars bar on that?"
