Fever_Discordia: Judas interviewed 10 years from now:
"Oh, yes I remember one time was working for a certain Direct Delivery site that will remain nameless, we had a MAJOR screw up on the first new release day after the Christmas Sales and we had absolutely nothing new for all our followers, the forums were threatening to turn real ugly and. as the junior member of the Web team I was volunteered to placate them so I asked my superiors -
"so what can I tell them to keep them happy"
"NOTHING you can let ANYTHING slip, Judas, we mean it, its a formal written warning if you do!"
"buuuut you want me to placate them?"
"Yes"
"But tell them absolutely nothing"
"Yep, you got it absolutely right - now get to it!""
"So... What did you do?"
"Oh man it was 12 hrs straight of talking but saying nothing, I don't even know what I was doing by the end, I was posting Jim Carey memes and commenting in Polish, I don't even COME from Poland, I'm Swiss, I was justing winging it with Google translate, it was HELL"
Feel for you Judas, man, feel for you!
(ever do a 'bit' that turned out not as funny as you hoped and went on way long and by the end you worried you just looked a little genuinely crazy?)
Imagine the job interview which bring similar what-to-do scene and that kind of answer.:P
