Email exchange with my co-worker
I work with a project manager that I'm just crazy about.

No- not like THAT! I'm probably old enough to be his mother. Wait, let me rephrase that. He's probably young enough to be my son. Yeah. That sounds better.

I'm crazy about him because he's the only project manager I've worked with that doesn't frustrate the heck out of me. I've worked with him before he came to our department a couple of weeks ago, so was thrilled to hear the news that he was joining my team.

He's come to the same conclusion that I have about our department. There are lots of people that have a hard time meeting deadlines. I'm fully willing to admit that there could be reasons for not meeting those deadlines that I don't know about. For example- maybe people are as overworked as I am and simply do not have the capacity to do all the work that's assigned to them.

Anyhoo- he sent out an assignment tonight to a list of folks and CC'd me. I replied that I wanted to do an office betting pool on who would meet the deadline. He came back with his bets and I was in agreement with him and told him that I'd have to find someone else to bet against. The rest of the exchange was as follows:

PM: I am an quack psychologist on the side so figure this stuff out for fun.
Me: Whilst analyzing me- please keep in mind that I've had two head injuries in the last 8 months. When you think to yourself "that girl isn't quite right in the head"- I have the MRIs to prove you right
PM: OK. Special Dispensation to you.


Phew. I'm glad I'm able to provide a plausible explanation for my nuttiness. (wow- spell check didn't pick up that word! It must be a real word. Who knew?)

Oh, you should definitely carry your MRI results around with you. Just as people are beginning to look at you a bit funny, you reach into your purse and bring out the illuminated scroll held within. Your co-workers pause and lean forward to read the delicate script as you unfurl the paper. There is just one word: "Mad".
