How About a Book on Hypocrisy?
Every tuesday I do usability testing at work from 8am—5pm, with a one hour break for lunch. Eight people come in for about one hour each. they often come late which drives me crazy since it can cause a lateness domino-effect.
Yesterday a lady came in twenty minutes late. I was annoyed, but she looked completely frazzled, so I asked her what had happened. It turned out that one of our employees had given her slightly confusing directions and she, already being slightly confused in general, ended up driving around in circles for twenty minutes. I tried to calm her down, and told her not to worry about it, but she was still upset.
“I HATE that girl that gave me directions!”, she practically spat as we walked to the lab.
I start out each test by getting background information from the person. I asked her what her occupation was, and then tried not to laugh as she said, “I am an author. I write religious books. My last book was about forgiving people.”

Now I hate that lady for hating that bad direction giving girl while writing a book on forgiveness. The nerve. The hypocrisy.

I would like to stone her, but I need someone else to cast the first stone.

I am sinless, I will throw it and you can all join in!
No, she was nice enough once she calmed down, but I was just nearly knocked out by the irony of it.

Everything is up and running. The robot is now a well-oiled machine.

Oh man, thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t get what you were talking about at first.
A setting got changed and I didn’t notice. should be working fine now. Thanks for the heads up. I was just sitting here like an idiot wondering why no one was commenting.
