Doesn't Scan

The Boss : "How many columns of scans do you have in your inbox?"

Here's me : "Wha?"

The Boss : "In your network."

Here's me : "Wha?"

The Boss : "In your folder?"

Here's me : "What's the question?"

The Boss : "I have seven."

    Does this translate to "How many folders do you have in your Outlook inbox?" ?

    I think I might start talking like "The Boss" just to mess with my co-workers. Just make totally random statements that escape logic in any way. Amazing.

    ...and as much as I'm sorry you have to endure this Koala, you must know how much laughter these tales provide to those of us who read your blog regularly. Great stuff.

    Well I think she wants to know how many columns of icons you have on your desktop. I reckon she saves all her files to the desktop. So has 8 columns of icons spread across her desktop.

    See, it's simple if you just sit and have a think about it.

    I would tell her that she need to change her "view" options to get more columns. That should freak her out. Also tell her to calibrate the oofenspangle on the zegenspiegel. If she says "what?" then tell her to google it, as it is complicated. Should be good for 5 mins of laughs...

    Have you ever tried just answering randomly?

    The Boss : "How many columns of scans do you have in your inbox?"

    You : 12...

    Just to see if it works...

    @ woot - yeah, tried it, but got bored when it made no difference at all...

    I just had a scary thought. What if the boss has her own blog titled "Experiments in making co-workers insane" or something. She could just be messing with your head on purpose.

    Gosh a new theme for each comment to a new entry. The boss has her own blog. KEWL.

    I am obviously going to start writing one. Big DOG Big DOG CREAM CAKE

    This is spooky. I also have seven columns of scans in my inbox, and I don't know anybody else in the whole world who does.

    Incidentally, am I the only one who's developing a bit of a crush on the boss?

    Magnificent, I might edit it a bit and now refer to everything on my computer as being in my "netbox columns" - that should drive everyone bugshit...

    Thanks SK!

    @MFH, I've got a like girl-crush on her, like when you're 12 and want to be just like the kewl 18 year-olds, so maybe not!

    I'm not 100% sure but I think it was something to do with The Boss thinking she was deleting files by re-sizing the window of the folder.

    So, erm, what we're saying is, she doesn't undestand basic functions, and gets her words horribly mixed up, including with terms that have absolutely no relationship to the subject in question, right?

    Therefore... I dare fellow readers to imagine The Boss talking dirty, or asking her feller to do something specific in bed - my God, the mind boggles!!!

    Double bonus points if you imagine her bringing poor fucking Ronan Keating's name up during the session...

    Sorry if I've warped you for life there SK, but the possibilities are endless!

    if her google search doesn't shed any light, tell her some hacker has googlewhacked her.

    Oh, I vote the next time you get a random question you answer it in this fashion:

    The Boss: "How many columns of scans do you have in your inbox?"

    You: "Blue"

    Or something equally random... "32" / "misrepresentation in a macro-economical scale" / "laxative".

    It might work out just right :D

    OK, I'm in. Next question I get asked, I'm answering "32, but it's laxative". Shall report back.
