One of my colleagues is awesome with software, not as gifted when it comes to grammar. We were sitting in the cafeteria, doing general time pass (he speaking, me listening) when Quality lead for our BU entered.
Here is something about our QA practice; Our BU stretches across six floors; every project has a Quality analyst who, reports to a Quality lead who, in turn, reports to this BU QA lead. So she is someone pretty high up; her meeting requests rattles grown project managers. At the same time, she is pretty grounded, so anyone can ask her about our QA strategy and get responses. As a part of induction, she had represented the QA practice. Despite her years, she looks ohh-so-elegant; somewhat like Maharani Gayatri Devi.
So, in she walked and this guy said, I am going to talk to her. I said on what topic. He said this and that. I said good luck. So, he walked up to her and said, “Hi, You are the quality woman. We had fun with you on the first day.” I see a big question mark on her face. My esteemed colleague, oblivious like a Doberman pup, piles her embarrassment higher, “Me and other new joiners had high quality time with you! You were blowing our minds so expertly!”
I got up as inconspicuously as possible, edged myself across the table and disappeared quickly through the open door.
And people say I am too rigid when it comes to language.
