05/19/2003 Archived Entry: "Overheard conversations"

I overheard the following conversation coming from two rows over:

Guy's voice: "Hey--I wanted to talk to you about a user installing Oracle Server on their computer."

Heavily accented asian lady's voice: "WHAT?! HE DO WHAT?!"

Guy: "Yeah, apparently he's installed it and he's doing his own database stuff."

Heavily accented asian lady: "WHAT?! HOW HE DO IT?! HOW HE GET THE ORACLE?!"

Guy: "I'm not sure."

Heavily accented asian lady: "OH MY GOD! HOW HE GET THE ORACLE?! HOW HE GET THE ORACLE?!"

She got more and more frantic, and then they both went, presumably to find out how they got the Oracle. I was giggling with barely-suppressed mirth. There's just something so cool about listening to a heavily accented asian lady's voice, shrieking about HOW HE GET THE ORACLE?!?!
