Lack of Imagination (Stupid Coworkers)

A conversation between a friend and myself about work--just to prove that I'm NOT insane.


Colormist-at work says:
ARGH!!! Why are my coworker so hell-bent on driving me INSANE

Te'al'zien says:
What are they doing to you as you sneakily change subjects.

Colormist-at work says:
I didn't think it was that sneaky. I found it rather glaringly obvious.

Colormist-at work says:
Anyway, they acclaim me for my cleverness and say how much they like something.

Te'al'zien says:
Heh heh.

Colormist-at work says:
Then the following day, they say, "Oh, this doesn't work well."

Te'al'zien says:
Ah. That kind of insanity.

Colormist-at work says:
idiots! The whole lot of 'em!

Te'al'zien says:
That's not nice to say.

Colormist-at work says:
Ah, but if you only realized...

Colormist-at work says:
Okay, picture this. There's a guy standing infront of a book shelf holding nothing. The nothing he's holding is all white, shaped like a book, and has a dotted outline.

Colormist-at work says:
The tag reads, "Buy what you're missing at ICE's Winter Book Sale"

Te'al'zien says:
Allright...

Colormist-at work says:
You're following me, right?

Te'al'zien says:
Yes.

Te'al'zien says:
It's out of context but I'm sure you'll fill in that part soon enough.

Colormist-at work says:
So, you're going to buy the book that's missing from your collection at ICE's Winter Book Sale.

Te'al'zien says:
Ah! I get it. Continue.

Colormist-at work says:
It's a brochure design I'm working on.

Colormist-at work says:
I would have lost my coworkers at "Okay, picture this."

Colormist-at work says:
They have no ability to picture anything.

Colormist-at work says:
They didn't understand the big white hole on the page with the dotted outline.

Colormist-at work says:
They actually asked. "Where's the book that's supposed to go here"

Colormist-at work says:
WTF?!?!

Te'al'zien says:
Actually, it is a nice idea. It took me a second to get it because I literally was picturing a guy buying a blank book.

Colormist-at work says:
Thank you.

Colormist-at work says:
I can't believe they actually thought I'd spend the time to make a white hole with dotted outlines and integrate it in with the picture, then just fill in the missing book later.

Te'al'zien says:
?? Oh, that's....

Te'al'zien says:
Allright, NOW I understand your frustration.

Te'al'zien says:
Jessie agrees, though my ability to explain isn't AS good.

Te'al'zien says:
She says it's a cute idea though.

Colormist-at work says:
Thank you Jessie.

Te'al'zien says:
Because she likes clever advertisments much better than blatant ones.

Colormist-at work says:
I thought it was downright clever as well.

Te'al'zien says:
She also says that it's not as if we don't give you enough compliments already though. ~_^

Colormist-at work says:
