This is where I work

It's entertainment I would gladly pay for. If you don't recall from the last installment, people sometimes email everyone if they're going to tie up the plotter for awhile. Sometimes those emails get a little out of control.

= (-1232) correct?

That WAS a math problem wasn’t it?

No, but i see where you could make that mistake. Nice order of operations work there - you must have a calculator.

I thought it was a tactical maneuver code for use in plotting the overthrow of the design professionals by the CADD commandos.....

Ahhhh, a visit from our old favorite. This gentleman starred in the last installment. By the way, this makes zero sense.

You mean they are plotting to overthrow the CAD regime?

JK, PE

COMPANY incorporated

And the predictable turn towards the easy pun.[for those of you now following The use of 'plot' as:

1.a secret plan or scheme to accomplish some purpose, esp. a hostile, unlawful, or evil purpose: a plot to overthrow the government.

instead of the previous meaning:

11.to draw a plan or map of, as a tract of land or a building.]

Anyway, this fellow can't go 8 seconds without making a pun, and if you let him continue for more than a minute you have a seizure. Perhaps this was a clever interjection to you, but it gave me a tic. Let's continue, shall we?

Who’s the CAD ragime?

And why don’t you make your signature bigger?

A spelling error, but otherwise a valid question. And the second sentence, just a brilliant shot at the hilariously huge and slightly nauseating signature of JK. I've left the fonts and color schemes alone for your enjoyment.

there's something rotten in Denmark...the font, that is.

A disappointing end to a promising exchange. I'd have to say the highpoint was the potshot at the email signature. I think if I were to have entered the fray, I would have contributed something like -

Depending on how long the afternoon seems, I may try this out. Free psych eval - woot.
