A Delightful Moment Of Candor

A colleague in India telephoned me this morning, a young lady who is always very formal and polite in her manner of speaking. She needed my help to understand a defect in a computer program that she had written.

It took me a while to explain and demonstrate what was causing the problem. The problem wasn't complex, but for some reason she had trouble seeing it. I had to get her to look past her assumptions and understand what was really happening.

Suddenly, she comprehended her mistake, and in that moment - and I am never going to forget this - she let loose with an emphatic exclamation of "OH, SHIT!"

It was so funny and so out of character. I couldn't stop laughing.
