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!
