Alex: I quit
Alex: i can't get a proper seating / monitor optimal viewing angle ratio.
Alex: so i can't work here.. work conditions aren't optimal
Alex: how awesome would it be if i quit literally because of that reason?
Curtis: haha especially if someone would have been willing to adjust things to be optimal but you already quit first
Alex: in that case i can literally say "i sit corrected"
Curtis: (changes subject with a funny subject line from a spam e-mail)
Alex: i hope that didn't make you overlook what i just wrote
Alex: cuz i'd like to think it was genius
Alex: so it needs to be acknowledged
Curtis: i didn't overlook it
Alex: sure looks that way.
Curtis: im sorry
Curtis: fine: yep!
Alex: oh. no humour reaction?
Alex: hmmm.
Alex: there's gotta be something!
Curtis: don't make this worse by dragging on the disappointment
Alex: :(
Alex: not even a sympathy "haha"?
Curtis: you'd allow such a context use?
Alex: well its not an OL reaction but you're acknowledging that there is a humour level.. so i'd allow it.
Alex: because that's what the ha lengths are for
Alex: and i think haha should be the shortest.. "ha" is just sarcastic
Alex: so at the very least that comment should warrant a "haha"
Curtis: but haha is like the shortest form of reaction to humour, not acknowledgement of the intended purpose
Alex: i'm just having a hard time believing it doesn't even deserve a "haha" at the very least.
Alex: because if someone fixes the seat, or optimal viewing angle i'd literally be sitting corrected.
Curtis: yeah, i get the joke
Curtis: and applaud your effort
Curtis: perhaps i feel like it's more clever than funny?
Alex: oh
Alex: then voice that!
Curtis: it was implied in my exclamation mark
Alex: oh
Alex: in that case: thanks!
Curtis: anytime :)
