| You work with math? --- A company I worked for had its own in-house tool for leave management of employees. The leaves are supposed to get reset on January 1st but that year it didn't happen automatically for whatever reason. Somebody asked on an internal chat group when the "leaves would be reset". It had been a long day. I casually replied "mid March". Everybody panicked, and I panicked because I didn't know why they where panicking. Later we discovered I thought he was asking about when leaves on trees would reappear after the winter (after they fell down during fall/autumn) :D This was weird because I was in a torrid region where it's rather hot and humid all year round, there's no such thing as winter, it never snows, and the trees are evergreen — there's never an all-leaves-are-down situation. (The year prior to that I was in another part of the Earth where the leaves are gone winter. I told you it had been a long day.) |
