The Failure by Salty Pete

September 20th, 2006 3:05 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Was there a Task that you bombed? Were you too ashamed to post it or too afraid of the dangerous red X?

Here is where you can claim partial credit.

Tell us what task you were attempting, why it went wrong, and what you plan to do about it.


Arrrrrrr! Talk Like a Pirate Day was a failure for me (and for nearly everyone else I talked to)

I tried so hard... I had every intention...

But here's what happened:

Phone: Ring ring!!!!
Peter (in pirate voice): Ahoy there!
Voice: Hi, is this Peter?
Peter (still in pirate voice): Yes. This be he.
Voice: This is Karen from Axiom Recruiting. I'm calling about a position that I have open for a developer. Do you have time to speak?
Peter: Yes, Karen, of course I have time. How are you?
Peter (thinking): Oh well, maybe I'll get a job instead of the points....
Voice: Blah blah blah about a job that have nothing to do with you even though I could have figured this out if I'd read your resume before calling you.
Peter (covering the phone): Damn ye to the briney depths of hell ye scurvy-ridden, plank-walking, boney, filthy, blasted, wretched, sickening, worthless daughter of a sea turtle!
Peter (aloud): Thanks anyway.

Actually though, I felt no problem with just resetting my clock and starting at 11 am after the call was over, but then a couple hours later my roommate came in and asked me something about the movie I was watching and I didn't reply in pirate talk... and then I mumbled something to myself in my normal voice and then I got phone call which started in pirate talk but I'm pretty sure I said goodby in my normal voice.......

And by that time it was almost 7PM and I decided to just drop it....

Poo. Well, perhaps tomorrow is _MY_ TLPD.
