meant: I didn't want to talk to this person, so I waited until 6 pm to make the phone call because I knew that there would be no answer and would have to leave a message.

from my boss....
Said: "Can you move the bridge about 1ft this way? And maybe we should go with concrete box beams rather than steel"
Meant: "I know that you've done 90% of the work on this project already, but I'd like to change it just because I can... I don't care that you've spent 2 months working on it and you've already got the shop drawings done for the steel..."
5 years later, and I'm still not over that one

SAID: I'm going to talk to the Project Manager and then get back to you
MEANT: After you interrupted me for the third time and then started talking over me, I've been holding the phone away from my ear at arms length for the last one minute of this conversation while you ranted on about a bunch of bullshiitake that I don't really give a hoot about, so I'm just going to make the decision without your input and then tell you about it later.

Meant: I'll pick up the damn tampons, but I swear when things clear up, I better get rewarded 2 nights in a row...and yes, with some of that new stuff we talked about!
