I had to get a form from a certain staff member (barely know this person).
When I asked him for it, he held it out at first, then waved it around when I reached out for it so I couldn't take it.
He was smiling while he did this.
I wasn't impressed, because I was in a hurry to get to my next gig.
I said, "Ok, I'll get it later." and walked off.
Later, another staff member brought me the form and said that the first guy said I "forgot to get it".
I didn't forget.
He wouldn't give it to me.
Why wouldn't he give me the form?
Why did he make out it was my fault?
What was with the stupid game?
People are incomprehensible
too bad you didn't twist his arm out of its socket and kick him in the yarbles while you were at it.
It was tempting.
But I want to make a good impression at my new workplace, so arm-twisting and yarble kicking are out.
I think I may have put his ego out of joint a little when I dismissed him so quickly.
I was a bit proud of myself for that.

Do you like A Clockwork Orange?
Kubrick is great. 2001 is one of my favourite movies!

Actually, I'd like a SAL 9000
I wonder who the voice of SAL was? douglas rain voiced HAL. HAL had two origins- as a dig at IBM [each letter one before the IBM letters] and also "Heuristic ALgorithm.
