(3:07:26 PM) Zero: that’s awesome Freud! I’m blogging that
(3:07:32 PM) Terry: heeee

This excerpt actually includes one of my favorite office-isms. I’m not sure if it was Al or Terry who introduced it into common parlance here in Ferndale, or at least from whom I absorbed it, butI have certainly adopted it into my IM lexicon.
