dear coworkers:

"hi, I'm really sorry to bother you but do u have a second to chat" is how you ping your IT person on a holiday afternoon to ask them for advice about buying a new piece of hardware or software.

If you clicked on a website that suddenly popped up a box asking you if you wanted to grant access to your machine, then started flashing YOUR COMPUTER IS LOCKED, YOUR COMPUTER IS LOCKED boxes at you, and you backed out and cleaned out your cookies and ran a quick virus scan and you want to know what to do next, THAT MERITS SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE URGENT THAN "do you have a second to chat".

A friend of ours got in an accident years back, was taken by ambulance to the ER, got out with a broken arm, and when he called another friend to pick him up, started with "Hi! How are you? Doing good?" and then listened to her talk about her life for five minutes before saying "By the way, I'm in the ER and could use a ride home." She was "Next time, lead with that!"
