Alright Durban, remember I made my pledge. (Warning: what is about to follow from my fingers to the keyboard is with a smirk on my face). I’ve been meaning to keep my pledge and I’m getting rather ‘frustrated’ that Pretoria is having yet another user group meeting. Mark is supposed to be the organizer but… let’s paraphrase typical IM conversations:
Mark: Hey Justin. How are things going?
Justin: Hi Mark. Depends on what is about to follow in one minute…
Mark: Depends on what?
Justin: Have you got my venue yet?
Mark: No… I’ve been busy.
Justin: Well, that will put me in a bad mood now.
… (Long conversation follows completely unrelated to .NET)…
Mark: Dude, what are you up to?
Justin: Waiting for your word on the venue…
… (Long conversation about what I saw on the bus)…
Mark: Justin, got a minute?
Justin [with some funny display name]: Yeah sure. Did you have a minute to organize my venue?
… (Talk about how busy we both are like Grandpa’s talking about their aches and pains)
Mark: Hi Justin.
Justin: Singing JavaScript developer scripts: confirm(‘Has Mark organized my venue?’).
… (This is made up but you get the idea)…
Apparently Mark will not be busy at the tick of the beginning of next month. So dudes, apply pressure to Mark to organize that venue for me (remember that I feel that one week’s notice would be appropriate).
Relax Mark… I can wait but I’m itching! Just do whatever you need to so you remain employed but please don’t forget me… :)
